v17.0 - 2021-07-02:
  Tracing service and probes:
    * Fixed a bug in ftrace parsing of absolute timestamps
      (RINGBUF_TYPE_TIME_STAMP), encountered on Linux kernels 5.9+.
    * Fixed a bug in --save-for-bugreport causing 0-length traces if the
      selected trace declared one or more triggers in the config.
    * Fixed a bug in tracebox causing the PERFETTO_PRODUCER_SOCK_NAME env
      var to be ignored.
  Trace Processor:
    * Changed CORS headers of --httpd mode to allow only https://ui.perfetto.dev
      and http://localhost:10000. This affects only CORS-aware browser clients.
    * Added GPU frequency metrics.
  UI:
    * Fixed ADB connection issues ("unable to reset device") on Windows and Mac.
    * Added caching of tracing in the cache storage so that the trace is
      re-opened if a tab is killed (Chrome tab discarding or accidental CTRL+W).
  SDK:
    * Added support for writing track events using custom clock timestamps.


v16.1 - 2021-06-08:
  Tracing service and probes:
    * Cherry-pick of r.android.com/1716718 which missed the v16 branch cut and
      fixed MSVC 2019 builds.


v16.0 - 2021-06-01:
  Tracing service and probes:
    * Added support for building most targets (including traced, SDK and
      trace_processor_shell) from Windows using either clang-cl or MSVC 2019.
    * Added tracebox, a monolithic binary to capture traces with one command
      on Linux and older versions of Android (tested on Android Oreo).
    * Added support for service-side field-level filtering of traces. The
      consumer can pass a filter bytecode and ensure that non-allowed fields
      are never emitted in output.
    * Added reporting of service version and producer SDK version into the trace
      and `perfetto --query`.
    * Fixed compatibility with Android versions older than Pie (for sideloading)
      which cause failures when trying to enable atrace categories.
  Trace Processor:
    * Added new RPC interface based on a bidirectional binary pipe. This allows
      to simplify integration with out-of-process users. The existing --httpd
      interface now exposes a single /rpc endpoint. Older endpoints are still
      available for legacy clients.
    * Added support for counters and instant events in JSON traces.
    * Fixed support of displayTimeUnit in JSON traces.
  UI:
    * Added warning dialog when trying to use a trace_processor_shell --httpd
      which is too old.
    * Added warning dialog when trying to use a trace_processor_shell --httpd
      RPC instance from more than one tab.
    * Added links to convert the trace to JSON or systrace directly from the UI.
    * Changed track sorting logic. Tracks are now sorted in groups (e.g.,
      scheduling tracks, summary tracks, frame timeline tracks).
    * Fixed crashes happening flakily when pushing traces via window.open().


v15.0 - 2021-05-05:
  Tracing service and probes:
    * Added support for {host,target}=aarch64 standalone builds.
    * Added --background cmdline switch to traced and traced_probes services.
    * Changed trigger_perfetto to ignore unknown command line arguments to
      preserve forward compatibility.
    * Added -a / --app cmdline argument to tools/record_android_trace.
  Trace Processor:
    * Added sanitisation of keys in nested debug annotation dictionaries.
    * Changed Android startup metric: count CPU time of JIT thread pool, report
      timestamp of activities during startup.
    * Changed android_surfaceflinger metric, added missed frame counters.
    * Changed version of SQLite to 3.35.4.
    * Fixed importing of JSON traces with decimal (sub-us) timestamp.
    * Fixed prepending "debug." prefix to debug annotations with non-interned
      names.
  UI:
    * Added support to visualize the lifetime of individual dmabuf allocations
      as async slices (datasource: already existing ftrace dmabuf event).
    * Fixed visualization of unfinished slices to extend to the end of the
      viewport.
  SDK:
    * Added support for passing arbitrary number of debug annotations to
      TRACE_EVENT and combining them with lambdas.
    * Added support for writing typed TrackEvent arguments using TRACE_EVENT
      inline without lambdas.
    * Changed ConvertTimestampToTraceTimeNs to be a member of
      TraceTimestampTraits<T> struct instead of a standalone function.
    * Changed TracedValue to use nested DebugAnnotation proto instead of
      DebugAnnotation::NestedValue.


v14.0 - 2021-04-01:
  Tracing service and probes:
    * Added support for polling power rails on Android from the newer
      IPowerStats AIDL interface (previously using only the HAL interface).
    * Fixed native heap profiler crash when ABI of heapprofd and profiled
      process mismatch.
    * Changed encoding format of Anroid managed heap profiler to reduce heap
      dump sizes by delta-encoding object IDs.
  Trace Processor:
    * Added activity create/resume, layout inflation and resource timings to
      the Android startup metric.
    * Added chrome metadata key/value pairs (e.g. chrome version) into the
      `metadata` table with 'cr-' prefixed keys.
    * Added dma-buf-based memory metrics reporting total/avg/min/max dmabuf
      allocation per-dmabuf-heap and per-process.
    * Removed |force_full_sort| flag from config. This has been replaced
      by setting the sorting mode to force a full sort.
  UI:
    * Added tools/symbolize-ui-crash script to resolve crash reports via
      TypeScript source maps.
    * Fixed newlines when copying Android event log lines into the clipboard.
    * Fixed crash when selecting "Did not finish" slices.
    * Fixed OOM dialog to give actionable instructions when opening large traces
      rather than suggesting to file a bug.
  SDK:
    * Added /meson.build for bundling /sdk/perfetto.{cc,h} in Meson builds.
    * Added support for counter trace points with the TRACE_COUNTER macro.


v13.0 - 2021-03-01:
  Tracing service and probes:
    * Added ability to sample callstacks using kernel tracepoints as timebase.
    * Added abililty to record the perf timebase counter values into the trace,
      both combined callstack+counter or counter-only.
    * Added abillity to trigger traces based on VM pressure on Android. Requires
      a dedicated tracing instance in $tracefs/instances/mm_events.
  Trace Processor:
    * Added sorting mode to trace processor config to specify how trace
      processor should sort events. The |force_full_sort| flag has been
      deprecated (with replacement) and will be removed in the next version.
    * Added ingestion of frame timeline events into the
      {expected,actual}_frame_timeline_slice tables.
    * Added support for Mali's trace_marker_write ftrace event.
    * Added memory metric based on newer android_fastrpc kernel events.
  UI:
    * Added flow events support for instant events and async tracks.
    * Added support for Android frame timeline events. They allow inspecting
      end-to-end expected vs actual app-to-surfaceflinger frame times.
    * Added ability to switch between Canary and Stable channels in the UI.
    * Added ability to drag&drop to open trace files.
    * Changed UI serving infrastructure, old ui versions can be now retrieved by
      directly opening https://ui.perfetto.dev/v12.1.269/ .
    * Removed thread state track for threads that have no activity.
  SDK:
    * Use process start time hashed with the process id as a unique process
      identifier, allowing multiple independent users of the SDK in the same
      process to interleave their events on shared tracks.
    * Record process and thread names into the trace.
    * Add ring buffer tracing support, i.e., periodic clearing of incremental
      state.
  Misc:
    * Convert python scripts to python3.


v12.1 - 2021-02-01:

      'Info and stats' page.
    * Fixed 'TABLE/VIEW XXX already exists' in the Metrics page when running the
      same metric twice.
    * Fixed sorting of tracks using numeric sorting instead of lexicographic:
      Thread {1, 2, 10, 11, 20} rather than Thread {1, 10, 11, 2, 20}.
    * Fixed CSP-related bug that was preventing the UI to work on Firefox.

    * Added cmdline arguments for integration within ChromeOS system image
      (--{producer,consumer}-socket-{group,mode} for chmod-ing sockets).
    * Changed path lookup logic for traced socket. /run/perfetto/ is used if the

  Tracing service and probes:
    * Added support for recording traces from a system service through the
      client API.
