+- graph dispatch trace: capture packet data and buffer metadata, output in pcap format
+- improve feature arc order constraint specification
+
+### VNET & Plugins
+- pktgen: correctly replay a mix of single and multi-buffer packets
+- add wireshark dissector to extras
+- avf: optimizations
+- acl-plugin: use L2 feature arc instead of L2 classifier
