[Valgrind-announce] Valgrind-3.0.1 (for x86 and amd64) is available

[Julian S. <js...@ac...>]

We are pleased to announce a new release of Valgrind, version 3.0.1.
It is available from http://www.valgrind.org.

Valgrind is an open-source suite of simulation based debugging and
profiling tools.  With the tools that come with Valgrind, you can
automatically detect many memory management bugs, avoiding hours of
frustrating bug-hunting, and make your code more stable.  You can also
perform detailed time and space profiling to help speed up and slim
down your programs.

3.0.1 fixes a bunch of bugs reported in 3.0.0.  There is no new
functionality.  Some of the fixed bugs are critical, so if you use
or distribute 3.0.0, an upgrade to 3.0.1 is recommended.  The attached
release notes give details of the fixed bugs.

Happy (and productive) debugging and profiling,

-- The Valgrind Developers
