 Deprecation Notices
 -------------------
 
-* eal: certain structures will change in EAL on account of upcoming external
-  memory support. Aside from internal changes leading to an ABI break, the
-  following externally visible changes will also be implemented:
-
-  - ``rte_memseg_list`` will change to include a boolean flag indicating
-    whether a particular memseg list is externally allocated. This will have
-    implications for any users of memseg-walk-related functions, as they will
-    now have to skip externally allocated segments in most cases if the intent
-    is to only iterate over internal DPDK memory.
-  - ``socket_id`` parameter across the entire DPDK will gain additional meaning,
-    as some socket ID's will now be representing externally allocated memory. No
-    changes will be required for existing code as backwards compatibility will
-    be kept, and those who do not use this feature will not see these extra
-    socket ID's.
-
 * eal: both declaring and identifying devices will be streamlined in v18.11.
   New functions will appear to query a specific port from buses, classes of
   device and device drivers. Device declaration will be made coherent with the

-* ethdev: In v18.11 ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CRC_STRIP`` offload flag will be removed, default

-  To keep CRC ``DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_KEEP_CRC`` flag is required.

   Target release for removal of the legacy API will be defined once most
   PMDs have switched to rte_flow.
 
-* ethdev: In v18.11 ``rte_eth_dev_attach()`` and ``rte_eth_dev_detach()``
-  will be removed.
-  Hotplug functions ``rte_eal_hotplug_add()`` and ``rte_eal_hotplug_remove()``
-  should be used instread.
-  Function ``rte_eth_dev_get_port_by_name()`` may be used to find
-  identifier of the added port.

-* eal: In v18.11 ``rte_eal_dev_attach()`` and ``rte_eal_dev_detach()``
-  will be removed.
-  Hotplug functions ``rte_eal_hotplug_add()`` and ``rte_eal_hotplug_remove()``
-  should be used directly.
-
 * pdump: As we changed to use generic IPC, some changes in APIs and structure
   are expected in subsequent release.
 
   - ``rte_pdump_set_socket_dir`` will be removed;
   - The parameter, ``path``, of ``rte_pdump_init`` will be removed;
   - The enum ``rte_pdump_socktype`` will be removed.
-
-* ethdev: flow API function ``rte_flow_copy()`` will be deprecated in v18.11
-  in favor of ``rte_flow_conv()`` (which will appear in that version) and
-  subsequently removed for v19.02.
-
-  This is due to a lack of flexibility and reliance on a type unusable with
-  C++ programs (struct rte_flow_desc).
