@@ -8,6 +8,9 @@ The accel_fw was updated to no longer require the app to allocate an
 accel_task on its behalf. All public APIs now take a callback arg as
 the parameter that used to be the accel_task.
 
+The accel_fw API `spdk_accel_task_size` was removed as it is no longer
+required.
+
 The accel_fw was updated to support compare, dualcast, crc32c.
 
 The accel_fw introduced batching support for all commands in all plug-ins.
