It is a new record! It required a lot of work from all the contributors and especially from Ferruh, thanks :) The planned release date for 17.11 is in three weeks. It is time for testing and bug fixing. It is not expected to integrate a lot more new features at this stage. However these ones may be part of RC2: - IOVA scheme wording - PCI and VDEV move to drivers/bus/ - IPsec offloading with rte_security - QoS features from dpdk-next-tm - pipeline improvements - removals planned in deprecation notices The release notes are mostly updated: http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/rel_notes/release_17_11.html Some highlights: - ethdev port id increased to 16 bits - ethdev Rx/Tx offload API reworked - Marvell Armada drivers - NXP DPAA1 drivers - Cavium OcteonTX drivers - Netronome PF driver - Mellanox drivers reworked for upstream ibverbs support - SoftNIC driver for traffic management software fallback - vhost IOMMU - GSO library - Membership library - Power management updated - Xen dom0 removed There are a lot of changes to be tested. Please pay attention especially to igb_uio with different combinations of PF or VF drivers. When finding a new bug, please report it on bugzilla: http://dpdk.org/tracker/ Thank you everyone
