I actually don't think we did any significant user-visible improvements in
asan other than LOTS of bug/performance/compatibility fixes.
asan for OSX and Android did not exist in 3.1 (Alex, right?), so these two
platforms could be included into the release notes:

   Improvements to AddressSanitizer including better portability (OSX,
Android NDK), support for cmake based builds, enhanced error reporting and
lots of bug fixes.
