=========================================================
+* **Meter API updated to accomodate configuration profiles.**
+
+ The meter API is changed to support meter configuration profiles. The
+ configuration profile represents the set of configuration parameters
+ for a given meter object, such as the rates and sizes for the token
+ buckets. These configuration parameters were previously the part of meter
+ object internal data strcuture. The separation of the configuration
+ parameters from meter object data structure results in reducing its
+ memory footprint which helps in better cache utilization when large number
+ of meter objects are used.
