### Releases
+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
+ (see [below](#performance)); please report if you observe any significant performance regression.
+
* 2021-06-17, `v1.7.2`, `v2.0.2` (beta): support M1, better installation layout on Linux, fix
- thread_id on Android, prefer 2-6TiB area for aligned allocation to work better on pre-window 8, various small fixes.
