Hi Wenzhou,

The release note text should be in the past tense. Something like this would be better:

* **Added support for VxLAN and NVGRE checksum off-load on X550.**

  * Added support for VxLAN and NVGRE RX/TX checksum off-load on
    X550. RX/TX checksum off-load is provided on both inner and
    outer IP header and TCP header.

  * Added functions to support for VxLAN port configuration. The
    default VxLAN port number is 4789 but this can be updated
    programmatically.
