+DPDK Release 18.02
+==================
+
+.. **Read this first.**
+
+   The text in the sections below explains how to update the release notes.
+
+   Use proper spelling, capitalization and punctuation in all sections.
+
+   Variable and config names should be quoted as fixed width text:
+   ``LIKE_THIS``.
+
+   Build the docs and view the output file to ensure the changes are correct::
+
+      make doc-guides-html
+
+      xdg-open build/doc/html/guides/rel_notes/release_18_02.html

+     should be enough to allow someone scanning the release notes to
+     understand the new feature.
+
+     If the feature adds a lot of sub-features you can use a bullet list like
+     this:
+
+     * Added feature foo to do something.
+     * Enhanced feature bar to do something else.
+
+     Refer to the previous release notes for examples.
