 Changes in |csit-release|
 -------------------------
 
-#. CSIT FRAMEWORK
+#. TEST FRAMEWORK
 
-   - Few test case bug fixes.
+   - **VPP_Device**: Added container based functional VPP device tests
+     integrated into LFN CI/CD infrastructure. VPP_Device tests run on
+     1-Node testbeds (1n-skx, 1n-arm) and rely on Linux SRIOV Virtual
+     Function (VF), dot1q VLAN tagging and external loopback cables to
+     facilitate packet passing over exernal physical links. Initial
+     focus is on few baseline tests. Existing CSIT VIRL tests can be
+     moved to VPP_Device framework by changing L1 KW(s). L2 KWs and RF
+     test definition code stay unchanged. CSIT VIRL to VPP_Device
+     migration is expected in the next CSIT release.
 
-#. TEST CASE PORTING TO VPP_MAKE_TEST
+   - **Bug fixes**.
 
-   - Implementation of VIRL functional integration tests in
-     VPP_make_test.
+#. CSIT TEST MIMGRATION
 
-   - All VIRL tests identified as Priority-0 by FD.io VPP and CSIT
-     projects have been ported to VPP_make_test. Detailed breakdown in
-     `CSIT_VIRL migration progress
-     <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PciV8XN9v1qHbIRUpFJoqyES29_vik7lcFDl73G1usc/edit?usp=sharing>`_.
+   - **VPP_Path**: Continuing migration of the original FD.io CSIT VIRL
+     tests to VPP-make_test VPP integration tests for functional
+     acceptance of VPP feature path(s) driven by use case(s). See P1
+     and P2 markup in `CSIT_VIRL migration progress
+     <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1PciV8XN9v1qHbIRUpFJoqyES29_vik7lcFDl73G1usc/edit?usp=sharing>`_
