New Features
------------
.. This section should contain new features added in this release.
Sample format:
* **Add a title in the past tense with a full stop.**
Add a short 1-2 sentence description in the past tense.
The description 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.
This section is a comment. Do not overwrite or remove it.
Also, make sure to start the actual text at the margin.
=========================================================
* **Added Flow API support for CXGBE PMD.**
Flow API support has been added to CXGBE Poll Mode Driver to offload
flows to Chelsio T5/T6 NICs.
* **Added ixgbe preferred Rx/Tx parameters.**
Rather than applications providing explicit Rx and Tx parameters such as
queue and burst sizes, they can request that the EAL instead uses preferred
values provided by the PMD, falling back to defaults within the EAL if the
PMD does not provide any. The provision of such tuned values now includes
the ixgbe PMD.
* **Added descriptor status check support for fm10k.**
``rte_eth_rx_descritpr_status`` and ``rte_eth_tx_descriptor_status``
are supported by fm10K.
