+* security: The IPsec SA config options structure ``struct rte_security_ipsec_sa_options``
+  will be updated with two new fields to support IPsec inner checksum in case
+  of protocol offload.

 * metrics: The function ``rte_metrics_init`` will have a non-void return
   in order to notify errors instead of calling ``rte_exit``.
