*Known Issues:*
-### gfapi readdirplus API has been enhanced to return handles
+### gfapi extended readdirplus API has been added
*Notes for users:*
+An extended readdirplus API `glfs_xreaddirplus` is added to get extra information along
+ with readdirplus results on demand. This is useful for the applications (like NFS-Ganesha
+ which needs handles) to retrieve more information along with stat in a single call, thus
+ improving performance of work-loads involving directory listing.
+
+The API syntax and usage can be found in
+ [`glfs.h`](https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/blob/v3.11.0rc1/api/src/glfs.h#L810)
+ header file.
+
*Limitations:*
+This API currently has support to only return stat and handles (`glfs_object`) for each dirent
+ of the directory, but can be extended in the future.
+
*Known Issues:*
+None.
