+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).
+
+
+=== 31 January 2012 ===
+
+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
+[http://gperftools.googlecode.com/svn/tags/google-perftools-1.10/ChangeLog ChangeLog].
+
+
+=== 24 January 2011 ===
+
+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'. :-)
+
+=== 23 December 2011 ===
+
+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.
+
+The full list of changes is in the
+[http://google-perftools.googlecode.com/svn/tags/google-perftools-1.9/ChangeLog ChangeLog].

+
+=== 26 August 2011 ===
+
+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.
