-=====================================
-
- * Experimental tracking of various drm events (vblank and CRTC/MSC)
- * Drawing code now uses double instead of float for additional precision
- * CLOCK_MONOTONIC is now the preferred clock
- * A new capture type of "mark" has been added to the capture format. It

-   with a timechart in a future release.
- * Various counters are automatically detected and displayed when opening a

-Overview of changes in Sysprof 3.27.91
-======================================
-
- * Sysprof now exclusively uses the meson build system.
- * Improvements to the process filtering model used in the profiler popover.
- * More tests for utility helpers.
- * Some code was relicensed to LGPLv2.1+ to extend it's reusability.
- * A new libsysprof-capture-2.a static library is installed to allow external
-   tooling to read and write the capture format. We expect tooling such as
-   GJS to use this in the future.
- * A new kallsyms tokenizer was added.
- * If we fail to parse kallsyms as the effective user, we now query the
-   sysprofd daemon to access and parse those symbols for us as root. This
-   requires polkit authorization on the DBus connection just like our
-   elevated perf_event_open() helper.
- * Now that we have to deal with overlapping kernel and user-space memory,
-   Sysprof tries harder to check the current perf context. New API was
-   added to symbol resolvers to facilitate this.

-   stacktrace samples, to the given time range.
- * Missing headers are now installed which may be needed by applications
-   using libsysprof-ui.
- * A keyboard shortcuts dialog has been added.

-Overview of changes in Sysprof 3.20.0
-=====================================
-
-Sysprof 3.20.0 is a major rewrite of the sysprof internals.
-
- * The GTK+ user interface has been ported to GTK+ 3, and includes
-   the use of modern GTK+ patterns, including GtkHeaderBar.
-
- * A new library, libsysprof-2 has been created, which contains the
-   internals for implementing a Linux perf-based profiler.
-
- * A new library, libsysprof-ui-2 has been created, which can be used by
-   IDEs to provide profiling capabilities. GNOME Builder is expected to
-   take advantage of this.
-
- * Sysprof uses a new binary capture format, to allow for collecting
-   more types of data than simply Perf callchain information.
-
- * Data collection sources have been abstracted, allowing for new types
-   of data collection to occur. Additionally, it is now possible to port
-   Sysprof to other operating systems if contributors are found to
-   implement those features. As before, Sysprof is currently supported
-   on Linux, where the perf_event_open syscall is available.
-
- * The sysprof capture format supports information from JITd languages.
-   Patches to Gjs (GNOME's wrapper around mozjs24) exist that can export
-   JIT information from the JavaScript engine.
-
- * Sysprof now supports launching an application as part of the
-   profiling process.
-
- * Sysprof can attach to one-or-more existing processes to collect
-   profiling information. This still uses the Linux perf infrastructure,
-   which means sampling is still performed.
-
- * The user interface provides a stopwatch for the amount of time that
-   has elapsed since recording started. If you find that the sysprof UI
-   shows up in your capture, we suggest using sysprof-cli to collect
-   samples.
-
- * The Sysprof UI provides tags next to common GNOME libraries used in
-   the GNOME stack to allow users to quickly identify libraries that
-   may not have fully-qualified symbol names.
-
- * The binutils based demanger has been removed in favor of
-   abi::__cxx_demangle() function. This fixes modern C++ demangling
-   and vastly simplifies the Sysprof codebase. However, it does require
-   a C++ compiler and linker to build Sysprof. Applications using
-   libsysprof-2 and libsysprof-ui-2 do not require a C++ compiler.
-
- * Sysprof now provides a D-Bus service, sysprofd, which can perform
-   elevated perf_event_open syscalls on behalf of the user interface
-   after appropriate authorization. Polkit is used to perform the
-   authorization. This service requires sd-bus from systemd 222 and
-   newer. If you choose not to use this service, or do not have
-   systemd on your system, you will have to perform system-wide
-   captures as root, either via the UI, or via sysprof-cli.
-
- * sysprof-cli now supports executing a command with the -c option.
-
- * A new mimetype for *.syscap is installed to allow opening capture
-   files from Nautilus or other file-managers.
-
- * The sysprof artwork has been updated.
-
- * Sysprof can now be translated using GNOME's i18n and l10n
-   infrastructure.
-
- * Sysprof now comes with a modest help manual which can be viewed with
-   the Yelp documentation browser.
-
- * New code in sysprof has been licensed under the GPLv3 or newer.

-
-It is worth noting that Sysprof is still a sampling based profiler.
-However, it should now be possible to extend sysprof to support tracing
-via callgrind. If you are interested in helping on this effort, please
-let us know and we can help you get started.
-
-Happy Perf Hunting,

+Overview of changes in Sysprof 3.33.3
+=====================================
+
+This release of Sysprof contains the largest amount of work since we revived
+the project a few years ago. We have revamped and minimized the ABI of
+libsysprof-ui considerably. As port of the ABI update, symbols have been
+changed from Sp to Sysprof to reduce chances of collisions.
+
+With these changes comes a soname bump and upgrade of the D-Bus API provided
+by the package. Some work has been taken to implement older versions of the
+sysprofd API so that older clients may continue to work.
+
+ • Various build system improvements
+ • A new libsysprof-capture-3.a capture library has been provided to allow
+   application developers to capture data and merge into the profiler stream.
+ • The recording and viewing API has been redesigned and improved.
+ • Sysprof has been backported to support GTK 3.22 and GLib 2.50.
+ • Support for passing file-descriptors has been added to allow profiling
+   integration with GNOME Shell, GJS, and GTK profilers.
+ • New API to allow integration with external tooling that spawns applications
+   is provided so that environment and arguments may be modified.
+ • A new re-record feature has been added.
+ • The capture format can now store log messages, metadata, and file content.
+ • A new org.gnome.Sysprof3 daemon has been added, which is written using
+   GDBus instead of libsystemd. This may improve portability to some
+   distributions.
+ • The portability of Sysprof to non-Linux systems has been improved, however
+   many recording features are still not available on non-Linux platforms.
+ • A new org.gnome.Sysprof3.Profiler XML D-Bus interface is provided for
+   tooling that wants to export Sysprof content via D-Bus.
+ • Various new capture sources have been provided.
+ • sysprofd also implements a compat org.gnome.Sysprof2 D-Bus end-point
+   for older clients.
+ • Translation updates
+
+Happy Profiling,
+
+-- Christian
