 **********
 
+* Introduce system calls to zsock socket APIs.
+* Add IPv4 autoconf support. This adds support for IPv4 link-local addresses (169.254.*.*)
+* Add TLS support to BSD socket API. The TLS is configured via setsockopt() API.
+* Add DTLS support to setsockopt() API.
+* Add TLS and DTLS support to socket echo-client/server sample applications.
+* Add support for IEEE 802.1AS-2011 generalized Precision Time Protocol (gPTP) for ethernet networks. A sample application is created to show how to interact with gPTP code.
+* Add support for PTP clock driver. This driver will be used by gPTP supported ethernet drivers.
+* Add Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) TX support.
+* Add support for managing Qav credit-based shaper algorithm.
+* Add generic TX timestamping support.
+* Add carrier detection support to ethernet L2 driver.
+* Add support for having vendor specific ethernet statistics.
+* Add getter support to ethernet management interface.
+* Add promiscuous mode support to network interface. A sample application is created that shows how to use the user API for getting all network packets. The native_posix ethernet driver supports promiscuous mode at this point.
+* Add support for Link Layer Multicast Name Resolution (LLMNR). LLMNR is used in Microsoft Windows networks for local name resolution.
+* Add BSD socket based echo-server and echo-client sample applications.
+* Add API to net_pkt to prefill a network packet to a pre-defined value.
+* Add IEEE 802.1Qav support to Atmel GMAC ethernet driver.
+* Add hardware TX timestamping support to Atmel GMAC ethernet driver.
+* Add multiple hardware queue support to Atmel GMAC ethernet driver.
+* Add gPTP support to Atmel GMAC ethernet driver.
+* Add support for TI SimpleLink WiFI offload driver.
+* Add support for randomized but stable MAC address in NXP MCUX ethernet driver.
+* Add extra prints to net-shell for ethernet based network interfaces. The supported features and priority queue information is printed.
+* Add and fix string to integer conversions in net-shell.
+* Allow user to configure MAC address filters into ethernet devices.
+* Catch network interface ON and OFF events in DHCPv4 and renew address lease if we re-connected.
+* Remove forever timeouts when waiting a new network buffer to be available.
+* Kconfig option naming changes in network config API.
+* Relay network interface up/down command from net-shell to Linux host for native_posix ethernet driver.
+* No need to join IPv6 solicited node multicast group for Bluetooth IPSP supported nodes.
+* Allow external program to be started for native_posix ethernet driver. This allows for example startup of wireshark when zeth is created.
+* Network packet priority and traffic class fixes and clarifications.
+* Lower memory consumption in net by using packed enums when applicable.
+* Correctly notify net_app server when TCP is disconnected.
+* Register OpenThread used unicast and multicast IPv6 addresses for network interface.
+* Enable Fast Connect policy for TI SimpleLink ethernet driver.
+* Fix ieee802154 simulator driver channel/tx power settings.
+* Handle large IPv6 packets properly.
+* Enable gPTP support in native_posix, NXP mcux and Atmel GMAC ethernet drivers. The native_posix ethernet driver gPTP support is only for testing purposes.
+* Split net_app API to a separate network configuration library and to existing net_app API.
+* Moving all layer 2 (L2) network code into subsys/net/l2 directory.
+* Fix cache support in Atmel GMAC ethernet driver.
+* Add MSS option on sending TCP SYN request.
+* Fix TCP by processing zero window probes when our receive window is 0.
+* IPv6 code refactoring.
+* IPv4 code refactoring.
+* ICMPv6 code refactoring.
+* IPv6 address lifetime fixes.
+* IPv6 fragmentation fixes.
+* ARP code refactoring.
+* ARP fixes when using VLAN.
+* IP address print function enhancements.
+* HTTP fix when sending the last chunck.
+* DHCPv4 fixes and timeout management refactoring.
+* MQTT fixes.
+* LWM2M cleanups and fixes.
+* Timeout too long lasting ARP requests.
+* TCP retry, RST packet handling, and memory leak fixes.
+* Socket echo-client sample fixes.
+* Handle out-of-buf situations gracefully in echo-client and echo-server sample applications.
+* Fix NXP MCUX ethernet driver to detect carrier lost event.
