[dpdk-dev] IMPORTANT: feature freeze for version 1.7.0

[Dumitrescu, Cristian]

Hi Thomas,

I am getting emails from people asking about Intel DPDK docs update for Packet Framework.

Is there a way to upload documents to dpdk.org to make them available for review?

We have Packet Framework updates to Programmer's Guide and Sample App Guide (MS Word with lots of tables and diagrams), and it would probably be very beneficial to people reviewing the code to have access to these docs as well, as opposed to getting the code now and the docs later once release is done.

Thanks,
Cristian

Hello all,

We have a lot of new features mostly ready for DPDK 1.7.0.
It's now time to be sure that they are well reviewed and integrated.
Then release candidate should be tagged in mid-June in order to have some 
validation tests before end of June (planned released date).

So requests for integration of features which have not yet been sent will be 
delayed to next version. Only reworks or small fixes of pending patches should 
be accepted.

A new branch "rebased-next" will be created for patches which are reviewed and 
waiting next version. This branch will be regularly rebased on master HEAD.

Being currently on vacation, I won't be very active until Monday, 9th.
During this time, I'd like to see some reviews/acknowledgements for these 
patches:
