=========================================================
+* **Added support for using externally allocated memory in DPDK.**
+
+ DPDK has gained support for creating new ``rte_malloc`` heaps referencing
+ memory that was created outside of DPDK's own page allocator, and using that
+ memory natively with any other DPDK library or data structure.
