Hi all. I just tagged and published 2.8.1.

This is a minor release. Most important reason for this release is due to reverting of the new for 2.8 feature that returns memory back to the kernel without page heap lock. This feature was found to cause crashes at least for aggressive decommit mode. See https://github.com/gperftools/gperftools/issues/1204 and https://github.com/gperftools/gperftools/issues/1227. Both issues were root-caused to that feature.

Other notable changes include newly submitted support for riscv64 and some preliminary support for building with cmake.
