[Valgrind-announce] valgrind-3.2.2 for {x86, amd64, ppc32, ppc64}-linux is available

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

A bug-fix release of valgrind, version 3.2.2, is now available from
http://www.valgrind.org.  See the attached release notes for details.

Happy (and productive) debugging and profiling,

-- The Valgrind Developers


Release 3.2.2 (22 Jan 2007)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3.2.2 fixes a bunch of bugs in 3.2.1, adds support for glibc-2.5 based
systems (openSUSE 10.2, Fedora Core 6), further reduces memcheck's
false error rate on x86/amd64, improves support for icc-9.X compiled
code, and brings modest performance improvements in some areas,
including amd64 floating point, powerpc support, and startup
responsiveness on all targets.

The fixed bugs are as follows.  Note that "n-i-bz" stands for "not in
bugzilla" -- that is, a bug that was reported to us but never got a
bugzilla entry.  We encourage you to file bugs in bugzilla
(http://bugs.kde.org/enter_valgrind_bug.cgi) rather than mailing the
developers or mailing lists directly.
