## v20.07: (Upcoming Release)



### accel



A new API was added `spdk_accel_get_capabilities` that allows applications to

query the capabilities of the currently enabled accel engine back-end.



A new capability, CRC-32C, was added via `spdk_accel_submit_crc32c`.



The software accel engine implemenation has added support for CRC-32C.

### bdev



A new API `spdk_bdev_abort` has been added to submit abort requests to abort all I/Os

whose callback context match to the bdev on the given channel.



### build



The fio plugins now compile to `build/fio` and are named `spdk_bdev` and `spdk_nvme`.

Existing fio configuration files will need to be updated.



### dpdk



Updated DPDK submodule to DPDK 20.05.



### idxd



The idxd library and plug-in module for the accel_fw were updated to support

all accel_fw commands as well as batching.  Batching is supported both

through the library and the plug-in module.



IDXD engine support for CRC-32C has been added.



### ioat



A new API `spdk_ioat_get_max_descriptors` was added.



### nvme



Add `opts_size` in `spdk_nvme_ctrlr_opts` structure in order to solve the compatiblity issue

for different ABI version.



A new API `spdk_nvme_ctrlr_cmd_abort_ext` has been added to abort previously submitted

proper authentication (if needed) is now a responsibility of the user.
