=======================================================
+* **Enhanced EAL ``-l`` corelist argument.**
+
+ Added support to the EAL ``-l`` argument for the full range of core-to-cpu
mapping options supported by the ``--lcores`` EAL argument.
+ Previously, ``-l`` only supported a subset of the options,
+ allowing only a list of cpus to be specified, which would be mapped 1:1 with
internal lcore ids.
+ Now, it is possible to use the shortened ``-l`` form to map lcore ids to
threads running on specific CPUs.
+ See the :doc:`../linux_gsg/eal_args.include` guide for examples.
+
* **Added PMU library.**
Added a Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU) library which allows Linux
applications
