We'll try to release -rc2 before the end of the month.
That leaves us less than 2 weeks to add more driver features.
Adding library features after -rc1 would be an exception,
but it's still possible.
Note: Security updates for several LTS branches were released this week.
To receive advance notice of future security releases, you can request
to be added to security-prerelease at dpdk.org by emailing techboard at dpdk.org.
Thank you everyone
