There are 432 new patches in this snapshot.
Release notes:
https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/rel_notes/release_26_07.html
Highlights of 26.07-rc1:
- option --pagesz-mem for per-page-size maximum
- option --no-auto-probing for no device at init
- less mempool cache misses in run-to-completion
- peek style API for staged-ordered ring
- RISC-V vector paths
- PTP helpers and clock relay example
- selective Rx API to save PCI bandwidth
- vhost memory hotplug
- pcap driver enhanced
- LinkData sxe2 NIC driver
- AI review helpers
Important note:
Pipelined applications, where ethdev Rx and Tx run on separate lcores,
should adapt to the new algorithm by doubling their configured mempool
cache size, to avoid doubling their mempool cache miss rate.
Please test and report issues on bugs.dpdk.org.
We plan to release -rc2 in 2 weeks.
Thank you everyone
