## Unreleased
### New Features
* Introduced `Memoryllocator`, which lets the user specify custom allocator for memory in block cache.
* Improved `DeleteRange` to prevent read performance degradation. The feature is no longer marked as experimental.
### Public API Change
* `NO_ITERATORS` is divided into two counters `NO_ITERATOR_CREATED` and `NO_ITERATOR_DELETE`. Both of them are only increasing now, just as other counters.
### Bug Fixes

//
// This feature is currently an experimental performance optimization for
// deleting very large ranges of contiguous keys. Invoking it many times or on
// small ranges may severely degrade read performance; in particular, the
// resulting performance can be worse than calling Delete() for each key in
// the range. Note also the degraded read performance affects keys outside the
// deleted ranges, and affects database operations involving scans, like flush
// and compaction.
//
// Consider setting ReadOptions::ignore_range_deletions = true to speed
// up reads for key(s) that are known to be unaffected by range deletions.
// This feature is now usable in production, with the following caveats:
// 1) Accumulating many range tombstones in the memtable will degrade read
// performance; this can be avoided by manually flushing occasionally.
// 2) Limiting the maximum number of open files in the presence of range
// tombstones can degrade read performance. To avoid this problem, set
// max_open_files to -1 whenever possible.
