-Changes in CSIT |release|
+Changes in |csit-release|
 -------------------------
 
-#. Code updates and optimizations in CSIT functional framework:
+#. TEST FRAMEWORK
 
-   - VPP install test - VPP installation have been moved to separate test in
-   test suite setup phase to clearly indicate any issue with VPP installation;
+   - **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.
 
-   - VPP verify test - test to check VPP responsiveness after installation;
+   - **Bug fixes**.
+
+#. CSIT TEST MIMGRATION
+
+   - **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>`_
