[dpdk-announce] release candidate 17.11-rc3

[Thomas Monjalon]

A new DPDK release candidate is ready for testing:
	http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/tag/?id=v17.11-rc3

What's new in RC3?
	- igb_uio reset fixed again
	- EAL VDEV moved to bus driver
	- EAL, mempool and mbuf adapted to IOVA wording
	- rte_memcpy optimization reverted because of bad perf
	- vhost IOMMU disabled by default because of old Qemu
	- example app and how-to for rte_flow API

The release notes have been updated:
	http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/rel_notes/release_17_11.html

It was not a quiet release candidate.
More than a week has passed since the RC2.
We must try to make a RC4 and close the 17.11 release in few days
because of the US summit next week.
The next release candidate is expected to include only some
very important bug fixes or documentation updates.

In order to prepare the next release, the deprecation notices
must be reviewed, and the roadmap topics proposed on the mailing list.

Please test carefully this release candidate.
Thank you everyone
