+* event: The function ``rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_enqueue`` takes an additional
+  input as ``flags``. Flag ``RTE_EVENT_ETH_TX_ADAPTER_ENQUEUE_SAME_DEST`` which
+  has been introduced in this release is used when used when all the packets
+  enqueued in the tx adapter are destined for the same Ethernet port & Tx queue.
