Version 2.10.0
--------------
* Heterogeneous Memory core improvements
+ Better heuristics to identify the subtype of memory such as HBM,
DRAM, NVM, CXL-DRAM, etc.
+ Build memory tiers, i.e. sets of NUMA nodes with the same subtype
and similar performance.
- NUMA node tier ranks are exposed in the new MemoryTier info
attribute (starts from 0 for highest bandwidth tier)..
+ See the new Heterogeneous Memory section in the documentation.
* API
+ Add hwloc_topology_free_group_object() to discard a Group created
by hwloc_topology_alloc_group_object().

+ Input locations and many command-line options (e.g. hwloc-calc -I -N -H,
lstopo --only) now accept filters such as "NUMA[HBM]" so that only
objects are that type and subtype are considered.
- NUMA[tier=1] is also accepted for selecting NUMA nodes depending
on their MemoryTier info attribute.
+ Add --object-output to hwloc-calc to report the type as a prefix to
object indexes, e.g. Core:2 instead of 2 in the output of -I.
+ hwloc-info --ancestor and --descendants now accepts kinds of objects
