+I've just released gperftools 2.0
+
+The `google-perftools` project has been renamed to `gperftools`. I
+(csilvers) am stepping down as maintainer, to be replaced by
+David Chappelle. Welcome to the team, David! David has been an
+an active contributor to perftools in the past -- in fact, he's the
+only person other than me that already has commit status. I am
+pleased to have him take over as maintainer.
+
+I have both renamed the project (the Google Code site renamed a few
+weeks ago), and bumped the major version number up to 2, to reflect
+the new community ownership of the project. Almost all the
+[http://sparsehash.googlecode.com/svn/tags/gperftools-2.0/ChangeLog changes]
+are related to the renaming.
+
+The main functional change from google-perftools 1.10 is that
+I've renamed the `google/` include-directory to be `gperftools/`
+instead. New code should `#include <gperftools/tcmalloc.h>`/etc.
+(Most users of perftools don't need any perftools-specific includes at
+all, so this is mostly directed to "power users.") I've kept the old
+names around as forwarding headers to the new, so `#include
+<google/tcmalloc.h>` will continue to work.
+
+(The other functional change which I snuck in is getting rid of some
+bash-isms in one of the unittest driver scripts, so it could run on
+Solaris.)
+
+Note that some internal names still contain the text `google`, such as
+the `google_malloc` internal linker section. I think that's a
+trickier transition, and can happen in a future release (if at all).
