Hi, >=20 > 3.0.0 is a major overhaul of Valgrind. There have been many=20 > changes and > improvements.

PPC32 on Linux is under development but not yet > usable. See the NEWS file for details of these and many=20 > other changes. >=20 > Note the last sentence. Yes I agree, it's surely there somewhere if you download the tarball. However such a crucial change should be right on top together with the important fact that valgrind now supports other architectures. Why do you think you get so many people asking this particual question over and over? Are you calling them all stupid or lazy? Instead of complaining one should be considering to take steps to make it more obvious. That's my only point.=20 > This line of reasoning insults just about anyone who's ever=20 > answered a=20 > question on a mailing list or newsgroup. It was not my intention to insult people so if anyone here feels insulted by what I have to say then I am deeply sorry. However I do not think that it's particualry helpful telling people about the netiqette and telling them to RTFM when the man page is vague and the information on what changed can be found at different places.=20 Under no circumstance do I want to criticise any work that has sofar be done. I think valgrind is great. My full respect to the developers.=20 thanks & best regards, ~/joachim PS: attached is a patch for the manpage |
