=======================================================
+* **Enhancements to logging library.**
+
+ * The log is initialized earlier in startup so all messages go through the
library.
+
+ * An option is added to timestamp log messages, which is useful for
debugging delays in
+ application and driver startup.
+
+ * Log messages are now in color if going to a terminal (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 the application is 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 can syslog the same as Linux.
