It is a release candidate to fix only the major bugs seen in RC1. It will allow to better progress with 18.05 validation tests. Major bugs fixed: - deadlock or crash in control thread initialization - deadlock in memory initialization - race condition when freeing - strong RSS configuration expectation - buggy atomic exchange on i686 As a consequence, the plan previously announced for RC2 is kept and renamed as the RC3 plan: see http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/announce/2018-April/000193.html Hope this release candidate will be better for testing, and that we can have a feature complete RC3 by the end of the next week, i.e. Friday 11th.
