@page release_notes_1704 Release notes for VPP 17.04
+## 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.
+
+- create_loopback message to be replaced with create_loopback_instance
+ create_loopback will be removed from 17.07.
+ https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/5572/
