+API changes
+-----------
+
+- Python API: To avoid conflicts between VPP API messages names and the
+ Python API binding function names, VPP API methods are put in a
+ separate proxy object. https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/5570/ The api
+ methods are now referenced as: vpp_handle = VPP(jsonfiles)
+ vpp_handle.connect(…) vpp = vpp_handle.api vpp.show_version()
+ vpp_handle.disconnect()
+
+ For backwards compatibility VPP API methods are left in the main name
+ space (VPP), but will be removed from 17.07.
+
+ - Python API: Change from cPython to CFFI.
+
+- create_loopback message to be replaced with create_loopback_instance
+ create_loopback will be removed from 17.07.
