 New features
 ============
 
-For Danube release, the Doctor project focused primarily on enhancing the
-testing tools, enabling additional test scenarios, and support and verification
-on a wider range of OPNFV installers.
-
-* **Performance profiler PoC**
-
-  The performance profiler is designed to get timestamp in each checkpoint of
-  components for further analysis. In Danube, initial PoC implementation of the
-  perfomance profiler has been added to the Doctor testing tools
-  by contribution from the `QTIP`_ team. The tools can now show how long it
-  takes for each component in a series of processes for fault notification.
-  Some checkpoints are not covered yet though. To activate this, set the
-  PROFILER_TYPE="poc" before running the main script ("tests/run.sh").
-  See `DOCTOR-72`_ for more details.
+Doctor now supports network state handling where VIM notifies on the actual data
+plane port state, utilizing the new feature called `port-dp-status`_ developed
+in OpenStack Neutron as the result of our upstreaming efforts.
 
-* **Testing with multiple tenant VMs**
+.. _port-data-plane-status: https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/neutron-specs/specs/backlog/ocata/port-data-plane-status.html
 
-  The Doctor testing tools now supports new testing scenario where multiple
-  tenant VMs in the system under test can be created (`DOCTOR-77`_).
-  This allows to measure fault notification time/cost with stressed VIM
-  controllers, in order to see perfomance trends.
+For Euphrates release, the Doctor project also refactored testing code to python.

 Integrated features
 -------------------
 
-Minimal Doctor functionality of VIM is available in the OPNFV platform from
-the Brahmaputra release. The basic Doctor framework in VIM consists of a
-Controller (Nova) and a Notifier (Ceilometer+Aodh) along with a sample
-Inspector and Monitor developed by the Doctor team.
+The testing code for Doctor test cases are enhanced by refactoring to python,
+and supporting collectd monitor.
 
-From the Danube release, key integrated feature is:
+The python refactoring improves readability and maintainability of the testing
+code in the Doctor repository. This helps Doctor developers as well as
+engineers who are interested in OPNFV Doctor.
 
-* **Congress as Doctor Inspector**
+From the Euphrates release, key integrated feature is:
 
-  Congress Inspector is now verified with latest vanilla OpenStack without
-  backporting any patch, like the one we had backported for adding Doctor
-  driver of Congress in Colorado.
+* **collectd as Doctor Monitor**
+
+  Collectd was added as additional Doctor monitoring solution.
+  This is experimental, as CI job is not enabled yet. But, you can see and test
+  with collectd integrated in Doctor reference architecture.
 
 OPNFV installer support matrix
 ------------------------------
 
-In the Brahmaputra release, only one installer (Apex) supported the deployment
-of the basic Doctor framework by configuring Doctor features. In the Danube
-release, integration of Doctor features progressed in other OPNFV installers.

 Known issues
 ============
 
-* Doctor testing scenario is not verified with non-admin user (`DOCTOR-80`_).
-
-* Congress Nova driver is relying on deprecated Nova APIs and can lead to
-  an error (`BUG#1670345`_). The workaround for this issue is to specify nova
-  micro version to 2.34 . Apex is using this workaround for OpenStack Newton
-  (`REVIEW#29463`_).
