Here's what we have in NEWS so far:

20 July 2013
gperftools 2.1rc is out!

As a result of more than a year of contributions we're ready for 2.1 release.

But before making that step I'd like to create RC and make sure people have 
chance to test it.

Here are notable changes since 2.0:

fixes for building on newer platforms. Notably, there's now initial support for 
x32 ABI (--enable-minimal only at this time)
new getNumericProperty stats for cache sizes
added HEAP_PROFILER_TIME_INTERVAL variable (see documentation)
added environment variable to control heap size (TCMALLOC_HEAP_LIMIT_MB)
added environment variable to disable release of memory back to OS 
(TCMALLOC_DISABLE_MEMORY_RELEASE)
cpu profiler can now be switched on and off by sending it a signal (specified 
in CPUPROFILESIGNAL)
( issue 491 ) fixed race-ful spinlock wake-ups
( issue 496 ) added some support for fork-ing of process that is using tcmalloc
( issue 368 ) improved memory fragmentation when large chunks of memory are 
allocated/freed
