Update Information:

This is a new upstream release

>From the upstream changelog:

This version incorporates some optimizations that can't quite be considered bug fixes.

**New features**:

* Use Linux's mremap(2) for huge object reallocation when possible.
* Avoid locking in mallctl*() when possible.
* Add the "thread.[de]allocatedp" mallctl's.
* Convert the manual page source from roff to DocBook, and generate both roff and HTML manuals.

**Bug fixes**:

* Fix a crash due to incorrect bootstrap ordering. This only impacted --enable-debug --enable-dss configurations.
* Fix a minor statistics bug for mallctl("swap.avail", ...).
