Enjoy!
### Branches
* `master`: latest stable release.
* `dev`: latest development branch.
* `dev-slice`: experimental branch with a different way of managing mimalloc pages that tends
to use less memory than plain mimalloc with similar performance. Give it a try and please
report any significant performance improvement or degradation.
### Releases
* 2020-09-24, `v1.6.5`: stable release 1.6: using standard C atomics, passing tsan testing, improved
handling of out-of-memory and failed commits, add `mi_process_info` api call.
* 2020-08-06, `v1.6.4`: stable release 1.6: improved error recovery in low-memory situations,
support for IllumOS and Haiku, NUMA support for Vista/XP, improved NUMA detection for AMD Ryzen, ubsan support.
* 2020-05-05, `v1.6.3`: stable release 1.6: improved behavior in out-of-memory situations, improved malloc zones on macOS,

Special thanks to:
* Jason Gibson (@jasongibson) for exhaustive testing on large workloads and server environments and finding complex bugs in (early versions of) `mimalloc`.
* Mary Feofanova (@mary3000), Evgeniy Moiseenko, and Manuel Pöter (@mpoeter) for making mimalloc TSAN checkable, and finding
memory model bugs using the [genMC] model checker.
* Weipeng Liu (@pongba), Zhuowei Li, Junhua Wang, and Jakub Szymanski, for their early support of mimalloc and deployment
at large scale services, leading to many improvements in the mimalloc algorithms for large workloads.
* Jason Gibson (@jasongibson) for exhaustive testing on large scale workloads and server environments, and finding complex bugs
in (early versions of) `mimalloc`.
* Manuel Pöter (@mpoeter) and Sam Gross (@colesbury) for finding an ABA concurrency issue in abandoned segment reclamation.
