@@ -24,6 +24,13 @@ asynchronous event such as bdev removal. spdk_bdev_open_ext function takes bdev
 an argument instead of bdev structure to avoid a race condition that can happen when the bdev
 is being removed between a call to get its structure based on a name and actually openning it.
 
+### blobstore
+
+A new spdk_bdev_create_bs_dev_from_desc function has been added and spdk_bdev_create_bs_dev
+function has been deprecated.
+The new create function can cowork with spdk_bdev_open_ext function, which provides callback
+function that will be called by asynchronous event such as bdev removal.

 ### nvme
 
 Added `no_shn_notification` to NVMe controller initialization options, users can enable
