=========================================================
+* **Added generic flow API (rte_flow).**
+
+ This API provides a generic means to configure hardware to match specific
+ ingress or egress traffic, alter its fate and query related counters
+ according to any number of user-defined rules.
+
+ It is slightly higher-level than the legacy filtering framework which it
+ encompasses and supersedes (including all functions and filter types) in
+ order to expose a single interface with an unambiguous behavior that is
+ common to all poll-mode drivers (PMDs).
+
+ See the :ref:`Generic flow API <Generic_flow_API>` documentation for more
+ information.
