A new major release is available:
	http://fast.dpdk.org/rel/dpdk-18.02.tar.xz

Special attention was paid to not break the ABI in this release.
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.

Some highlights:
	- new license header (SPDX tag)
	- bbdev (Wireless Base Band) device class
	- rawdev 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
	- experimental tags and automatic check
	- meson build system (beta)
