This allows the user to inspect objects in the ring without removing them
(aka MT safe peek).
+* **Updated lcore validation in power library.**
+
+ Lcore ID validation was moved into the cpufreq framework before driver dispatch.
+ Power QoS API was updated to accept service lcores.
+
+* **Extended BPF API.**
+
+ * Added an extensible BPF loading API comprising the function
+ ``rte_bpf_load_ex`` and struct ``rte_bpf_prm_ex``.
+ This enables new features such as loading classic BPF (cBPF),
+ loading ELF images directly from memory buffers,
+ and executing multi-argument programs, while avoiding future ABI breakages.
+ * Added support for loading and executing BPF programs with up to 5 arguments.
+ This introduces new API functions ``rte_bpf_exec_ex``,
+ ``rte_bpf_exec_burst_ex``, and ``rte_bpf_get_jit_ex``.
+ * Added API functions ``rte_bpf_eth_rx_install`` and ``rte_bpf_eth_tx_install``
+ for installing already loaded BPF programs as port callbacks
+ (as opposed to loading them directly from ELF files).
+
+* **Added BPF validation debugging API and hardened BPF validator.**
+
+ * Introduced a new API (prefixed with ``rte_bpf_validate_debug_``)
+ to introspect the BPF validator.
+ This provides a mechanism to set breakpoints or catchpoints during validation
+ and inspect the verifier's internal state (such as tracked register bounds).
+ This API is crucial primarily for writing comprehensive tests for the validator,
+ but also serves as a foundation for a future interactive eBPF validation debugger.
+ * Fixed numerous bugs in the BPF validator's abstract interpretation logic,
+ including incorrect bounds tracking for jumps and arithmetic operations,
+ as well as fixing several instances of undefined behavior (UB)
+ when verifying malicious or corrupt programs.

* **Added PTP protocol definitions.**
