 ## Are You Ready to ROCK?
 The ROCm Platform brings a rich foundation to advanced computing by seamlessly integrating the CPU and GPU with the goal of solving real-world problems.
 This software enables the high-performance operation of AMD GPUs for computation oriented tasks in the Linux operating system.
 Please refer the ROCm Documentation [here](https://rocm-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html).

-### New features and enhancements in ROCm 2.7
+### Hotfix release ROCm 2.7.2
 
+This release is a hotfix for ROCm release 2.7.
+
+#### Defect fixed in ROCm 2.7.2
+
+##### A defect in upgrades from older ROCm releases has been fixed.
+
+### Hotfix release ROCm 2.7.1
+
+This release is a hotfix release for ROCm release 2.7.1, and addresses the defect mentioned below. The features and enhancements as mentioned in [ROCm 2.7](#new-features-and-enhancements-in-rocm-27) remain relevant to ROCm release 2.7.1 as well.
+
+#### Defect fixed in ROCm 2.7.1
+
+##### rocprofiler --hiptrace and --hsatrace fails to load roctracer library
+In ROCm 2.7.1, rocprofiler --hiptrace and --hsatrace fails to load roctracer library defect has been fixed.  
+To generate traces, please provide directory path also using the parameter: -d <$directoryPath> for ex:
+```shell
+/opt/rocm/bin/rocprof  --hsa-trace -d $PWD/traces /opt/rocm/hip/samples/0_Intro/bit_extract/bit_extract
+  ```
+All traces and results will be saved under $PWD/traces path
+
+#### Upgrading from ROCm 2.7 to 2.7.1
+
+To upgrade, please remove 2.7 completely as specified [here](#how-to-uninstall-from-ubuntu-1604-or-Ubuntu-1804) or [here](#how-to-uninstall-rocm-from-centosrhel-76), and install 2.7.1 as per instructions [here](#installing-from-amd-rocm-repositories)
+
+#### Other notes
+
+  To use rocprofiler features, the following steps need to be completed before using rocprofiler:
+
+  ##### Step-1: Install roctracer
+
+###### Ubuntu 16.04 or Ubuntu 18.04:
+
+  ```shell
+  sudo apt install roctracer-dev
+  ```
+
+######  CentOS/RHEL 7.6:
+
+  ```shell
+  sudo yum install roctracer-dev
+  ```
+  ##### Step-2: Add /opt/rocm/roctracer/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+
+### New features and enhancements in ROCm 2.7
 
 #### [rocFFT] Real FFT Functional
 Improved real/complex 1D even-length transforms of unit stride. Performance improvements of up to 4.5x are observed. Large problem sizes should see approximately 2x.

-#### rocprofiler --hiptrace and --hsatrace fails to load roctracer library
-In ROCm 2.7, rocprofiler --hiptrace and --hsatrace fails to load roctracer library.  
-The workaround is to create two links under '/opt/rocm':
