=======================================================
+* **Enhancements to logging library.**
+
+ * Log is initialized earlier in startup so all messages go through the log
library.
+
+ * Log messages can be timestamped which is useful for debugging startup
timing.
+
+ * The log now supports color in the log if going to a terminal device
+ similar to dmesg. The default format shows timestamp in green, subsystem
+ in yellow, and the message is bold, boldface or normal depending on
severity.
+
+ * If DPDK is being used by a systemd service and the log output is being
+ sent of standard error then DPDK will switch to journal native protocol.
+
+ * On FreeBSD the log library uses syslog the same as Linux.
