[Valgrind-announce] Valgrind-3.1.1 for {x86,amd64,ppc32}-linux is available

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

We are pleased to announce a new release of Valgrind, version 3.1.1.
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.

3.1.1 fixes a bunch of bugs reported in 3.1.0.  There is no new
functionality.  The attached release notes give details of the fixed
bugs.

Happy (and productive) debugging and profiling,

-- The Valgrind Developers
