A new DPDK release candidate is ready for testing: http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/tag/?id=v17.08-rc2
What's new in RC2? - service cores API - traffic management API (QoS) - lock-free Tx queue capability API - failsafe driver The release notes have been updated: http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/rel_notes/release_17_08.html It was a bit long too long to make this second release candidate. Hopefully it is in a good shape and there won't be too many issues for the third one. We should make RC3 in less than a week. The next release candidate is expected to include only some bug fixes, tooling, packaging or documentation updates. The patchwork backlog has been cleaned a lot by moving some features as deferred until the beginning of the 17.11 release cycle. Please check what is remaining. Thank you everyone
