+Sysprof 1.0
+
+* What is it?
+--------------------------
+
+Sysprof is a sampling system-wide CPU profiler for Linux.
+
+Sysprof uses a Linux kernel module to profile the entire system, not
+just an individual application. 
+
+Of course, sysprof handles threads and shared libraries, and
+applications do not have to be recompiled or instrumented. In fact
+they don't even have to be restarted. 
+
+Just insert the kernel module and start sysprof.
+
+
+* Features:
+----------------------
+
+    - Profiles all running processes, not just a single application
+
+    - Call graph support showing time spent in each branch of the call tree
+
+    - Has a simple graphical interface
+
+    - Profiles can be loaded and saved
+
+    - Easy to use: Just insert the kernel module and start sysprof
+
+    - Supports Fedora debuginfo packages
+
+
+* Sysprof 1.0
+--------------------------
+
+This is the first release of sysprof with a 1.x version number. I am
+very excited about that.
+
+New features since Sysprof 0.91:
+
+- support for x86-64, thanks to Mike Frysinger
+- better reporting of time spent in the kernel
+
+Please report bugs as well as success or failure stories to
