      =======================================================
 
+* **Enhancements to logging library.**
+
+  * Log is initialized earlier in startup so all messages go through the log library.
+
+  * Log messages can be timestamped which is useful for debugging startup timing.
+
+  * The log now supports color in the log if going to a terminal device
+    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 DPDK is being used by 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 uses syslog the same as Linux.
