+
+
+Release 3.3.0
+=============
+
+Major release highlights:
+
+- VxLAN support
+- test VM can now have idle interfaces
+- test VM can be launched with multiqueue enabled
+- upgrade to TRex v2.56
+
+
+Release 2.0
+===========
+NFVbench will now follow its own project release numbering (x.y.z) which is independent of the OPNFV release numbering (opnfv-x.y.z)
+
+Major release highlights:
+
+- Dedicated edge networks for each chain
+- Enhanced chain analysis
+- Code refactoring and enhanced unit testing
+- Miscellaneous enhancement
+
+Dedicated edge networks for each chain
+--------------------------------------
+NFVbench 1.x only supported shared edge networks for all chains.
+For example, 20xPVP would create only 2 edge networks (left and right) shared by all chains.
+With NFVbench 2.0, chain networks are dedicated (unshared) by default with an option in
+the nfvbench configuration to share them. A 20xPVP run will create 2x20 networks instead.
+
+Enhanced chain analysis
+-----------------------
+The new chain analysis improves at multiple levels:
+
+- there is now one table for each direction (forward and reverse) that both read from left to right
+- per-chain packet counters and latency
+- all-chain aggregate packet counters and latency
+- supports both shared and dedicated chain networks
+
+Code refactoring and enhanced unit testing
+------------------------------------------
+The overall code structure is now better partitioned in the following functions:
+
+- staging and resource discovery
+- traffic generator
+- stats collection
+
+The staging algorithm was rewritten to be:
+
+- a lot more robust to errors and to handle better resource reuse use cases.
+  For example when a network with a matching name is discovered the new code will verify that the
+  network is associated to the right VM instance
+- a lot more strict when it comes to the inventory of MAC addresses. For example the association
+  from each VM MAC to a chain index for each Trex port is handled in a much more strict manner.
+
+Although not all code is unit tested, the most critical parts are unit tested with the use of
+the mock library. The resulting unit test code can run in isolation without needing a real system under test.
+
+
+OPNFV Fraser Release
+====================
+
+Over 30 Jira tickets have been addressed in this release (Jira NFVBENCH-55 to NFVBENCH-78)
+
+The Fraser release adds the following new features:
+
+- support for benchmarking non-OpenStack environments (with external setup and no OpenStack openrc file)
+- PVVP packet path with SRIOV at the edge and vswitch between VMs
+- support logging events and results through fluentd
+
+Enhancements and main bug fixes:
+
+- end to end connectivity for larger chain count is now much more accurate for large chain count - avoiding excessive drops
+- use newer version of TRex (2.32)
+- use newer version of testpmd DPDK
+- NDR/PDR uses actual TX rate to calculate drops - resulting in more accurate results
+- add pylint to unit testing
+- add self sufficient and standalone unit testing (without actual testbed)
+
