-I've just released gperftools 2.0
-
-The `google-perftools` project has been renamed to `gperftools`.  I
-(csilvers) am stepping down as maintainer, to be replaced by
-David Chappelle.  Welcome to the team, David!  David has been an
-an active contributor to perftools in the past -- in fact, he's the
-only person other than me that already has commit status.  I am
-pleased to have him take over as maintainer.
-
-I have both renamed the project (the Google Code site renamed a few
-weeks ago), and bumped the major version number up to 2, to reflect
-the new community ownership of the project.  Almost all the
-[http://gperftools.googlecode.com/svn/tags/gperftools-2.0/ChangeLog changes]
-are related to the renaming.
-
-The main functional change from google-perftools 1.10 is that
-I've renamed the `google/` include-directory to be `gperftools/`
-instead.  New code should `#include <gperftools/tcmalloc.h>`/etc.
-(Most users of perftools don't need any perftools-specific includes at
-all, so this is mostly directed to "power users.")  I've kept the old
-names around as forwarding headers to the new, so `#include
-<google/tcmalloc.h>` will continue to work.
-
-(The other functional change which I snuck in is getting rid of some
-bash-isms in one of the unittest driver scripts, so it could run on
-Solaris.)
-
-Note that some internal names still contain the text `google`, such as
-the `google_malloc` internal linker section.  I think that's a
-trickier transition, and can happen in a future release (if at all).

-
-I've just released perftools 1.10
-
-There is an API-incompatible change: several of the methods in the
-`MallocExtension` class have changed from taking a `void*` to taking a
-`const void*`.  You should not be affected by this API change
-unless you've written your own custom malloc extension that derives
-from `MallocExtension`, but since it is a user-visible change, I have
-upped the `.so` version number for this release.
-
-This release focuses on improvements to linux-syscall-support.h,
-including ARM and PPC fixups and general cleanups.  I hope this will
-magically fix an array of bugs people have been seeing.
-
-There is also exciting news on the porting front, with support for
-patching win64 assembly contributed by IBM Canada!  This is an
-important step -- perhaps the most difficult -- to getting perftools
-to work on 64-bit windows using the patching technique (it doesn't
-affect the libc-modification technique).  `premable_patcher_test` has
-been added to help test these changes; it is meant to compile under
-x86_64, and won't work under win32.
-
-For the full list of changes, including improved `HEAP_PROFILE_MMAP`
-support, see the

-
-The `google-perftools` Google Code page has been renamed to
-`gperftools`, in preparation for the project being renamed to
-`gperftools`.  In the coming weeks, I'll be stepping down as
-maintainer for the perftools project, and as part of that Google is
-relinquishing ownership of the project; it will now be entirely
-community run.  The name change reflects that shift.  The 'g' in
-'gperftools' stands for 'great'. :-)

-I've just released perftools 1.9.1
-
-I missed including a file in the tarball, that is needed to compile on
-ARM.  If you are not compiling on ARM, or have successfully compiled
-perftools 1.9, there is no need to upgrade.
-
-
-=== 22 December 2011 ===
-
-I've just released perftools 1.9
-
-This change has a slew of improvements, from better ARM and freebsd
-support, to improved performance by moving some code outside of locks,
-to better pprof reporting of code with overloaded functions.

-
-I've just released perftools 1.8.3
-
-The star-crossed 1.8 series continues; in 1.8.1, I had accidentally
-removed some code that was needed for FreeBSD.  (Without this code
-many apps would crash at startup.)  This release re-adds that code.
-If you are not on FreeBSD, or are using FreeBSD with perftools 1.8 or
-earlier, there is no need to upgrade.
-
-=== 11 August 2011 ===
-
-I've just released perftools 1.8.2
-
-I was incorrectly calculating the patch-level in the configuration
-step, meaning the TC_VERSION_PATCH #define in tcmalloc.h was wrong.
-Since the testing framework checks for this, it was failing.  Now it
-should work again.  This time, I was careful to re-run my tests after
-upping the version number. :-)
-
-If you don't care about the TC_VERSION_PATCH #define, there's no
-reason to upgrae.
-
-=== 26 July 2011 ===
-
-I've just released perftools 1.8.1
-
-I was missing an #include that caused the build to break under some
-compilers, especially newer gcc's, that wanted it.  This only affects
-people who build from source, so only the .tar.gz file is updated from
-perftools 1.8.  If you didn't have any problems compiling perftools
-1.8, there's no reason to upgrade.

 I've just released perftools 1.8
 
 Of the many changes in this release, a good number pertain to porting.
 I've revamped OS X support to use the malloc-zone framework; it should
 now Just Work to link in tcmalloc, without needing
 `DYLD_FORCE_FLAT_NAMESPACE` or the like.  (This is a pretty major
 change, so please feel free to report feedback at
 google-perftools@googlegroups.com.)  64-bit Windows support is also
 improved, as is ARM support, and the hooks are in place to improve
 FreeBSD support as well.
 
 On the other hand, I'm seeing hanging tests on Cygwin.  I see the same
 hanging even with (the old) perftools 1.7, so I'm guessing this is
 either a problem specific to my Cygwin installation, or nobody is
 trying to use perftools under Cygwin.  If you can reproduce the
 problem, and even better have a solution, you can report it at
 google-perftools@googlegroups.com.
 
 Internal changes include several performance and space-saving tweaks.
 One is user-visible (but in "stealth mode", and otherwise
 undocumented): you can compile with `-DTCMALLOC_SMALL_BUT_SLOW`.  In
 this mode, tcmalloc will use less memory overhead, at the cost of
 running (likely not noticeably) slower.
 
 There are many other changes as well, too numerous to recount here,
 but present in the

 Thanks to endlessr..., who
 [http://code.google.com/p/google-perftools/issues/detail?id=307 identified]
 why some tests were failing under MSVC 10 in release mode.  It does not look
 like these failures point toward any problem with tcmalloc itself; rather, the
 problem is with the test, which made some assumptions that broke under the
 some aggressive optimizations used in MSVC 10.  I'll fix the test, but in
 the meantime, feel free to use perftools even when compiled under MSVC
 10.

 I've just released perftools 1.7
 
 I apologize for the delay since the last release; so many great new
 patches and bugfixes kept coming in (and are still coming in; I also
 apologize to those folks who have to slip until the next release).  I
 picked this arbitrary time to make a cut.
 
 Among the many new features in this release is a multi-megabyte
 reduction in the amount of tcmalloc overhead uder x86_64, improved
 performance in the case of contention, and many many bugfixes,
 especially architecture-specific bugfixes.  See the

 for full details.
 
 One architecture-specific change of note is added comments in the
 [http://google-perftools.googlecode.com/svn/tags/perftools-1.7/README README]
 for using tcmalloc under OS X.  I'm trying to get my head around the
 exact behavior of the OS X linker, and hope to have more improvements
 for the next release, but I hope these notes help folks who have been
 having trouble with tcmalloc on OS X.

 has shown that profiles are unreliable in that case.  The problem has
 existed since the first release of perftools.  We expect to have a fix
 for perftools 1.2.  For more details, see
 [http://code.google.com/p/google-perftools/issues/detail?id=105 issue 105].
 
 Everyone who uses perftools 1.0 is encouraged to upgrade to perftools
 1.1.  If you see any problems with the new release, please file a bug
 report at http://code.google.com/p/google-perftools/issues/list.
 
 Enjoy!
