This + simplifed application code, aids debugging, and provides better + encapsulation. A summary of the main changes made is as follows: + + * Services identified by ID not by ``rte_service_spec`` pointer + * Reduced API surface by using ``set`` functions instead of enable/disable + * Reworked ``rte_service_register`` to provide the service ID to registrar + * Rework start and stop APIs into ``rte_service_runstate_set`` + * Added API to set runstate of service implementation to indicate readyness + ABI Changes ----------- -- 2.7.4
