From 5b9ddf55a8393197f8c02761660d798a0d07ab65 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Monjalon Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2017 18:01:35 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] doc: add IOVA aware API changes in release notes The wording changes have been done in the API without breaking the ABI. The deprecated fields and symbols can be removed later when an another ABI change will be required. The deprecation notice can be removed. The release notes describe the new available API with IOVA wording.
