 -------------------
+* The ABI changes are planned for struct rte_intr_handle and struct rte_eth_conf in order to support interrupt mode feature. The upcoming release 2.1 will not contain these ABI changes by default, but release 2.2 will, and no backwards compatibility is planed due to the additional interrupt mode feature enabling. Binaries using this library build prior to version 2.2 will require updating and recompilation.
