A new DPDK release candidate is ready for testing:
	https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/tag/?id=v18.08-rc2

The number of commits (188) is reasonnable.
We can expect some activity in drivers code and unit tests for -rc3,
and hopefully no -rc4 before the release.

The release notes so far:
	http://doc.dpdk.org/guides/rel_notes/release_18_08.html

Highlights for 18.08:
	- big work on vhost/virtio (in-order, packed ring, etc)
	- rework of softnic driver
	- Microsoft netvsc driver
	- compress drivers (Intel QAT, Cavium OcteonTX and zlib)

Thank you everyone
