[Valgrind-announce] Valgrind-3.3.1 is available

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

We are pleased to announce a new release of Valgrind, version 3.3.1,
available from http://www.valgrind.org.  See the attached release notes
for details.

Happy (and productive) debugging and profiling,

-- The Valgrind Developers


Release 3.3.1 (4 June 2008)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3.3.1 fixes a bunch of bugs in 3.3.0, adds support for glibc-2.8 based
systems (openSUSE 11, Fedora Core 9), improves the existing glibc-2.7
support, and adds support for the SSSE3 (Core 2) instruction set.

3.3.1 will likely be the last release that supports some very old
systems.  In particular, the next major release, 3.4.0, will drop
support for the old LinuxThreads threading library, and for gcc
versions prior to 3.0.

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 -- bugs that are not entered
into bugzilla tend to get forgotten about or ignored.
