## (Upcoming release) v17.07
### Build System
A `configure` script has been added to simplify the build configuration process.
The existing CONFIG file and `make CONFIG_...` options are also still supported.
Run `./configure --help` for information about available configuration options.
A DPDK submodule has been added to make building SPDK easier. If no `--with-dpdk`
option is specified to configure, the SPDK build system will automatically build a
known-good configuration of DPDK with the minimal options enabled. See the Building
section of README.md for more information.
A [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/) setup has been added to make it easier to
develop and use SPDK on systems without suitable NVMe hardware. See the Vagrant
section of README.md for more information.
### NVMe driver
The NVMe driver has been updated to support recent Intel SSDs, including the Intel®
Optane™ SSD DC P4800X series.
A workaround has been added for devices that failed to recognize register writes
during controller reset.
The NVMe driver now allocates request tracking objects on a per-queue basis. The
number of requests allowed on an I/O queue may be set during `spdk_nvme_probe()` by
modifying `io_queue_requests` in the opts structure.
The SPDK NVMe `fio_plugin` has been updated to support multiple threads (`numjobs`).
### Environment Abstraction Layer
The environment abstraction layer has been updated to include several new functions
in order to wrap additional DPDK functionality. See `include/spdk/env.h` for the
current set of functions.
