+dpdk (17.05-1~git1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
+
+  * New Upstream release 17.05; For a full list of changes (LP: #1691661)
+    see http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/rel_notes/release_17_05.html
+    - adapt to use MAJOR_ABI configuration to avoid the sub-lib abi
+      version breakage of the past.
+    - add d/update-helper* to update d/control and d/*.symbols for new versions
+    - adapt to new build trigger and location of tests; provide further
+      test tools (testacl, testpipeline) together with the already
+      provided "test" tool in /usr/share/dpdk/test/ of dpdk-dev.
+      Note: testpmd is installed "officially" by install-sdk and therefore
+      stays separate from other test tools.
+    - updated library arch availability/dependency: librte-kni is
+      available on ppc64el; librte-pmd-i40e on all arches;
+      librte-pmd-fm10k gone on ppc64el
+    - package the 19 new sub-libs / pmds that are now built by default
+    - rename and update symbols files to match the update to DPDK 17.05

 dpdk (16.11.2-1~git1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
 
+  [ Christian Ehrhardt ]
   * Merge stable update to 16.11.2; For a list of changes
     see http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/announce/2017-May/000131.html
+  * Dropped changes - patches that were included in 16.11.2 stable:
+    - d/p/kni-fix-build-with-kernel-4.11.patch
+    - d/p/nicvf-0002-net-thunderx-fix-32-bit-build.patch
+    - d/p/nicvf-0006-mk-fix-lib-filtering-when-linking-app.patch
+    - d/p/nicvf-0008-net-thunderx-fix-stats-access-out-of-bounds.patch
+    - d/p/nicvf-0010-net-thunderx-fix-deadlock-in-Rx-path.patch
+
+  [ Luca Boccassi ]
+  * Optionally generate libdpdk-dbgsym metapackage that depends on every
+    librte/PMD binary package's dbgsym. Keep it disabled by default, and
+    let users choose to enable it by passing dbgsym_meta via DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.
+    Thanks Jan Blunck for the patch!
+  * Generate dependency list of libdpdk-dev to all librte and PMDs packages
+    dynamically at build time.
+  * Generate list of recommends for dpdk dynamically at build time.
+  * dpdk-modules-$KVERS: depend on same kernel version used to build rather than
+    just recommend - in-kernel API/ABI is not stable.
+  * Support for building packages for the new mempool framework has been added.
+    In 17.05 and newer a mempool framework was added, that has to be loaded
+    like a PMD. So any "plugin" will be linked in RTE_EAL_PMD_PATH just like
+    the PMDs. No mempool plugins are built for now, so it is currently a no-op.
+  * Drop libethdev4, librte-cryptodev1 and librte-eal2 transitional packages,
+    no longer needed.
+  * Fix some upstream documentation links in the packages metadata.
+    Thanks Chas Williams!
+  * Fix building debugging symbols for -dbgsym packages. Thanks Chas Williams!
