dev-util/google-perftools-2.8.1 was released on 2020-12-21:
> * previous release contained change to release memory without page
>   heap lock, but this change had at least one bug that caused to
>   crashes and corruption when running under aggressive decommit mode
>   (this is not default). While we check for other bugs, this feature
>   was reverted. See github issue #1204 and issue #1227.
> 
> * stack traces depth captured by gperftools is now up to 254 levels
>   deep. Thanks to Kerrick Staley for this small but useful tweak.
> 
> * Levon Ter-Grigoryan has contributed small fix for compiler warning.
> 
> * Grant Henke has contributed updated detection of program counter
>   register for OS X on arm64.
> 
> * Tim Gates has contributed small typo fix.
> 
> * Steve Langasek has contributed basic build fixes for riscv64 (!).
> 
> * Isaac Hier and okhowang have contributed premiliminary port of build
>   infrastructure to cmake. This works, but it is very premiliminary.
>   Autotools-based build is the only officially supported build for
>   now.


dev-util/google-perftools-2.8.90 was released on 2021-02-15:
> * Jarno Rajahalme has contributed fix for crashing bug in syscalls
>   support for aarch64.
> 
> * User SSE4 has contributed basic support for Elbrus 2000 architecture
>   (!)
> 
> * Venkatesh Srinivas has contributed cleanup to atomic ops.
> 
> * Đoàn Trần Công Danh has fixed cpu profiler compilation on musl.
> 
> * there is now better backtracing support for aarch64 and
>   riscv. x86-64 with frame pointers now also defaults to this new
>   "generic" frame pointer backtracer.
> 
> * emergency malloc is now enabled by default. Fixes hang on musl when
>   libgcc backtracer is enabled.
> 
> * bunch of legacy config tests has been removed


dev-util/google-perftools-2.9 was released on 2021-02-21:
> * Venkatesh Srinivas has contributed thread-safety annotations
>   support.
> 
> * couple more unit test bugs that caused tcmalloc_unittest to fail on
>   recent clang has been fixed.
> 
> * usage of unsupportable linux_syscall_support.h has been removed from
>   few places. Building with --disable-heap-checker now completely
>   avoids it. Expect complete death of this header in next major
>   release.


dev-util/google-perftools-2.9.1 was released on 2021-03-03:
> * OSX builds new prefer backtrace() and have somewhat working heap
>   sampling.
> 
> * Incorrect assertion failure was fixed that crashed tcmalloc if
>   assertions were on and sized delete was used. More details in github
>   issue #1254.
