[Thomas Monjalon]

A new DPDK release candidate is ready for testing:
	http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/tag/?id=v17.05-rc2

What's new in RC2?
	- progress on bus rework (PCI and VDEV)
	- ethdev xstats by ID
	- new Atomic Rules ark driver
	- new NXP dpaa2 drivers
	- a lot of fixes

The release notes have been updated:
        http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/rel_notes/release_17_05.html

It was a big RC2 with 271 patches.
The next release candidate is expected to include only some
bug fixes, tooling, packaging or documentation updates.

This 17.05 release could be the beginning of a new process
innovating by releasing on time 
Let's expect a RC3 in one week, and possibly a RC4 few days later.

Please maintainers, open patchwork to check which patches lack of reviews.

Thank you everyone
