+Following are change highlights associated with official releases.  Important

+

+    git://canonware.com/jemalloc.git
+
+* 2.2.1 (March 30, 2011)
+
+  Bug fixes:
+  - Implement atomic operations for x86/x64.  This fixes compilation failures
+    for versions of gcc that are still in wide use.
+  - Fix an assertion in arena_purge().
+
+* 2.2.0 (March 22, 2011)
+
+  This version incorporates several improvements to algorithms and data
+  structures that tend to reduce fragmentation and increase speed.
+
+  New features:
+  - Add the "stats.cactive" mallctl.
+  - Update pprof (from google-perftools 1.7).
+  - Improve backtracing-related configuration logic, and add the
+    --disable-prof-libgcc option.
+
+  Bug fixes:
+  - Change default symbol visibility from "internal", to "hidden", which
+    decreases the overhead of library-internal function calls.
+  - Fix symbol visibility so that it is also set on OS X.
+  - Fix a build dependency regression caused by the introduction of the .pic.o
+    suffix for PIC object files.
+  - Add missing checks for mutex initialization failures.
+  - Don't use libgcc-based backtracing except on x64, where it is known to work.
+  - Fix deadlocks on OS X that were due to memory allocation in
+    pthread_mutex_lock().
+  - Heap profiling-specific fixes:
+    + Fix memory corruption due to integer overflow in small region index
+      computation, when using a small enough sample interval that profiling
+      context pointers are stored in small run headers.
+    + Fix a bootstrap ordering bug that only occurred with TLS disabled.
+    + Fix a rallocm() rsize bug.
+    + Fix error detection bugs for aligned memory allocation.
+
+* 2.1.3 (March 14, 2011)
+
+  Bug fixes:
+  - Fix a cpp logic regression (due to the "thread.{de,}allocatedp" mallctl fix
+    for OS X in 2.1.2).
+  - Fix a "thread.arena" mallctl bug.
+  - Fix a thread cache stats merging bug.
+
+* 2.1.2 (March 2, 2011)
+
+  Bug fixes:
+  - Fix "thread.{de,}allocatedp" mallctl for OS X.
+  - Add missing jemalloc.a to build system.
+
+* 2.1.1 (January 31, 2011)
+
+  Bug fixes:
+  - Fix aligned huge reallocation (affected allocm()).
+  - Fix the ALLOCM_LG_ALIGN macro definition.
+  - Fix a heap dumping deadlock.
+  - Fix a "thread.arena" mallctl bug.
+
+* 2.1.0 (December 3, 2010)
+
+  This version incorporates some optimizations that can't quite be considered
+  bug fixes.
+
+  New features:
+  - Use Linux's mremap(2) for huge object reallocation when possible.
+  - Avoid locking in mallctl*() when possible.
+  - Add the "thread.[de]allocatedp" mallctl's.
+  - Convert the manual page source from roff to DocBook, and generate both roff
+    and HTML manuals.
+
+  Bug fixes:
+  - Fix a crash due to incorrect bootstrap ordering.  This only impacted
+    --enable-debug --enable-dss configurations.
+  - Fix a minor statistics bug for mallctl("swap.avail", ...).
+
+* 2.0.1 (October 29, 2010)
+
+  Bug fixes:
+  - Fix a race condition in heap profiling that could cause undefined behavior
+    if "opt.prof_accum" were disabled.
+  - Add missing mutex unlocks for some OOM error paths in the heap profiling
+    code.
+  - Fix a compilation error for non-C99 builds.
+
+* 2.0.0 (October 24, 2010)
+
+  This version focuses on the experimental *allocm() API, and on improved
+  run-time configuration/introspection.  Nonetheless, numerous performance
+  improvements are also included.
+
+  New features:
+  - Implement the experimental {,r,s,d}allocm() API, which provides a superset
+    of the functionality available via malloc(), calloc(), posix_memalign(),
+    realloc(), malloc_usable_size(), and free().  These functions can be used to
+    allocate/reallocate aligned zeroed memory, ask for optional extra memory
+    during reallocation, prevent object movement during reallocation, etc.
+  - Replace JEMALLOC_OPTIONS/JEMALLOC_PROF_PREFIX with MALLOC_CONF, which is
+    more human-readable, and more flexible.  For example:
+      JEMALLOC_OPTIONS=AJP
+    is now:
+      MALLOC_CONF=abort:true,fill:true,stats_print:true
+  - Port to Apple OS X.  Sponsored by Mozilla.
+  - Make it possible for the application to control thread-->arena mappings via
+    the "thread.arena" mallctl.
+  - Add compile-time support for all TLS-related functionality via pthreads TSD.
+    This is mainly of interest for OS X, which does not support TLS, but has a
+    TSD implementation with similar performance.
+  - Override memalign() and valloc() if they are provided by the system.
+  - Add the "arenas.purge" mallctl, which can be used to synchronously purge all
+    dirty unused pages.
+  - Make cumulative heap profiling data optional, so that it is possible to
+    limit the amount of memory consumed by heap profiling data structures.
+  - Add per thread allocation counters that can be accessed via the
+    "thread.allocated" and "thread.deallocated" mallctls.
+
+  Incompatible changes:
+  - Remove JEMALLOC_OPTIONS and malloc_options (see MALLOC_CONF above).
+  - Increase default backtrace depth from 4 to 128 for heap profiling.
+  - Disable interval-based profile dumps by default.
+
+  Bug fixes:
+  - Remove bad assertions in fork handler functions.  These assertions could
+    cause aborts for some combinations of configure settings.
+  - Fix strerror_r() usage to deal with non-standard semantics in GNU libc.
+  - Fix leak context reporting.  This bug tended to cause the number of contexts
+    to be underreported (though the reported number of objects and bytes were
+    correct).
+  - Fix a realloc() bug for large in-place growing reallocation.  This bug could
+    cause memory corruption, but it was hard to trigger.
+  - Fix an allocation bug for small allocations that could be triggered if
+    multiple threads raced to create a new run of backing pages.
+  - Enhance the heap profiler to trigger samples based on usable size, rather
+    than request size.
+  - Fix a heap profiling bug due to sometimes losing track of requested object
+    size for sampled objects.
+
+* 1.0.3 (August 12, 2010)
+
+  Bug fixes:
+  - Fix the libunwind-based implementation of stack backtracing (used for heap
+    profiling).  This bug could cause zero-length backtraces to be reported.
+  - Add a missing mutex unlock in library initialization code.  If multiple
+    threads raced to initialize malloc, some of them could end up permanently
+    blocked.
+
+* 1.0.2 (May 11, 2010)
+
+  Bug fixes:
+  - Fix junk filling of large objects, which could cause memory corruption.
+  - Add MAP_NORESERVE support for chunk mapping, because otherwise virtual
+    memory limits could cause swap file configuration to fail.  Contributed by
+    Jordan DeLong.
+
+* 1.0.1 (April 14, 2010)
+
+  Bug fixes:
+  - Fix compilation when --enable-fill is specified.
+  - Fix threads-related profiling bugs that affected accuracy and caused memory
+    to be leaked during thread exit.
+  - Fix dirty page purging race conditions that could cause crashes.
+  - Fix crash in tcache flushing code during thread destruction.
+
+* 1.0.0 (April 11, 2010)
+
+  This release focuses on speed and run-time introspection.  Numerous
+  algorithmic improvements make this release substantially faster than its
+  predecessors.
+
+  New features:
+  - Implement autoconf-based configuration system.
+  - Add mallctl*(), for the purposes of introspection and run-time
+    configuration.
+  - Make it possible for the application to manually flush a thread's cache, via
+    the "tcache.flush" mallctl.
+  - Base maximum dirty page count on proportion of active memory.
+  - Compute various addtional run-time statistics, including per size class
+    statistics for large objects.
+  - Expose malloc_stats_print(), which can be called repeatedly by the
+    application.
+  - Simplify the malloc_message() signature to only take one string argument,
+    and incorporate an opaque data pointer argument for use by the application
+    in combination with malloc_stats_print().
+  - Add support for allocation backed by one or more swap files, and allow the
+    application to disable over-commit if swap files are in use.
+  - Implement allocation profiling and leak checking.
+
+  Removed features:
+  - Remove the dynamic arena rebalancing code, since thread-specific caching
+    reduces its utility.
+
+  Bug fixes:
+  - Modify chunk allocation to work when address space layout randomization
+    (ASLR) is in use.
+  - Fix thread cleanup bugs related to TLS destruction.
+  - Handle 0-size allocation requests in posix_memalign().
+  - Fix a chunk leak.  The leaked chunks were never touched, so this impacted
+    virtual memory usage, but not physical memory usage.
+
+* linux_2008082[78]a (August 27/28, 2008)
+
+  These snapshot releases are the simple result of incorporating Linux-specific
+  support into the FreeBSD malloc sources.
