### Releases ### Releases
* 2021-04-06, `v1.7.1`, `v2.0.1` (beta): fix bug in arena allocation for huge pages, improved aslr on large allocations, improved M1 support (still experimental). Note: the `v2.x` beta has a new algorithm for managing internal mimalloc pages that tends to use reduce memory usage
and fragmentation compared to mimalloc `v1.x` (especially for large workloads). Should otherwise have similar performance
* 2021-01-31, `v2.0.0`: beta release 2.0: new algorithm for managing internal mimalloc pages that tends to use reduce memory usage
and fragmentation compared to mimalloc v1 (especially for large workloads). Should otherwise have similar performance
(see [below](#performance)); please report if you observe any significant performance regression. (see [below](#performance)); please report if you observe any significant performance regression.
