| Unreleased: |
| Tracing service and probes: |
| * |
| Trace Processor: |
| * Remove |force_full_sort| flag from config. This has been replaced |
| by setting the sorting mode to force a full sort. |
| UI: |
| * |
| SDK: |
| * Add 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. |

| 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 |

| * 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: |
