I think it would make sense to post this kind of info in the manual. I mean, the first thing a user does is read the 3.0 manual and find out that a nifty plugin called Addrcheck is there. Then when they go to use it, it doesn't work. So they naturally ask here. What would point them to reading the NEWS file? As I understand it, valgrind is special in the sense that most programs don't "pick up/drop" support for plugins between versions. Usually once a program supports a feature set, it doesn't go back.
