Removed Items ------------- * **Discontinued support for AMD Solarflare SFN7xxx family boards.** 7000 series adaptors are out of support in terms of hardware. * **Removed the SSE vector paths from some Intel drivers.** The SSE path was not widely used, so it was removed from the i40e, iavf and ice drivers. Each of these drivers has faster vector paths (AVX2 and AVX-512) which have feature parity with the SSE paths, and a fallback scalar path which also has feature parity. API Changes ----------- * **Added additional length checks for name parameter lengths.** Several library functions now have additional name length checks instead of silently truncating. * lpm: name must be less than ``RTE_LPM_NAMESIZE``. * hash: name parameter must be less than ``RTE_HASH_NAMESIZE``. * efd: name must be less than ``RTE_EFD_NAMESIZE``. * tailq: name must be less than ``RTE_TAILQ_NAMESIZE``. * cfgfile: name must be less than ``CFG_NAME_LEN`` and value must be less than ``CFG_VALUE_LEN``. * **Updated the pcapng library.** * The length of comment strings is now validated. Maximum allowable length is 2^16-1 because of the pcapng file format. ABI Changes ----------- * No ABI change that would break compatibility with 25.11.
