It means 18.02 could replace 17.11 without rebuilding the applications. However it is advised to keep using 17.11 LTS for long term deployments. The release notes are not complete yet: http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/rel_notes/release_18_02.html Some highlights: - new license header (SPDX tag) - bbdev (Wireless Base Band) device class - ethdev probe notifications and port ownership - Hyper-V platform driver - AVF (Adaptive Virtual Function) ethdev driver - IPsec offload in DPAA - DPAA eventdev driver - OPDL (Ordered Packet Distribution Library) eventdev driver Some features may be integrated in 18.02-rc2: - rawdev - hotplug events API - AMD drivers - meson build system Some planned features are postponed to 18.05: - meter profile - new devargs syntax - multi-process channel - dynamic memory management - VF representor - vhost-pci - virtio-crypto The planned release date for 18.02 is in two weeks. We are very short in time. It will be probably a bit late, but most changes must be done before the Chinese New Year holidays. Please start testing and fixing bugs now. When finding a new bug, please report it on bugzilla: http://dpdk.org/tracker/ Thank you everyone
