* What's new
+- Prototype support for "perf events", where the kernel supports the
+ 2.6.33 in-kernel API. Probe points may refer to low-level
+ perf_event_attr type/config numbers, or to a number of aliases
+ defined in the new perf.stp tapset:
+ probe perf.sw.cpu_clock, perf.type(0).config(4) { }
+
- Type-casting can now use multiple headers to resolve codependencies.
