A new DPDK release candidate is ready for testing:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/tag/?id=v20.11-rc2
There are 628 new patches in this snapshot.
The good news is that -rc2 is smaller than -rc1 ;)
Release notes:
http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/rel_notes/release_20_11.html
Highlights of 20.11-rc2:
- ring zero copy
- mbuf dynamic fields space increased from 16 to 36 bytes
- removed mbuf userdata/seqn/timestamp fields
- removed legacy ethdev filtering
- RCU in hash library
- AVX512 lookup in FIB
- Intel DLB/DLB2 drivers
- Wangxun txgbe driver
The -rc3 should include only some bug fixes, cleanups, doc and tooling.
We have until the end of next week to complete this milestone.
Then at least one more week (allowing -rc4) should be needed
before the release.
Please test, report and fix issues on bugs.dpdk.org.
As a community, we must close as many bugs as possible for -rc3.
We are getting closer to a well deserved rest.
Thank you everyone
