We are pleased to announce a new release of Valgrind, version 3.17.0,
available from http://valgrind.org/downloads/current.html.  The source tarball
is signed with the PGP key at the bottom of this message.

3.17.0 fixes a number of bugs and adds some functional changes: support for
GCC 11, Clang 11, DWARF5 debuginfo, the 'debuginfod' debuginfo server, and
some new instructions for Arm64, S390 and POWER.  There are also some tool
updates.

Our thanks to all those who contribute to Valgrind's development.  This
release represents a great deal of time, energy and effort on the part of many
people.

Happy and productive debugging and profiling,

Release 3.17.0 (19 Mar 2021)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3.17.0 fixes a number of bugs and adds some functional changes: support for
GCC 11, Clang 11, DWARF5 debuginfo, the 'debuginfod' debuginfo server, and
some new instructions for Arm64, S390 and POWER.  There are also some tool
updates.

This release supports X86/Linux, AMD64/Linux, ARM32/Linux, ARM64/Linux,
PPC32/Linux, PPC64BE/Linux, PPC64LE/Linux, S390X/Linux, MIPS32/Linux,
MIPS64/Linux, ARM/Android, ARM64/Android, MIPS32/Android, X86/Android,
X86/Solaris, AMD64/Solaris and AMD64/MacOSX 10.12.  There is also preliminary
support for X86/macOS 10.13, AMD64/macOS 10.13 and nanoMIPS/Linux.

* ==================== CORE CHANGES ===================

* DWARF version 5 support.  Valgrind can now read DWARF version 5 debuginfo as
  produced by GCC 11.

* Valgrind now supports debuginfod, an HTTP server for distributing ELF/DWARF
  debugging information. When a debuginfo file cannot be found locally,
  Valgrind is able to query debuginfod servers for the file using its
  build-id. See the user manual for more information about debuginfod support.

* ================== PLATFORM CHANGES =================

* arm64:

  - Inaccuracies resulting from double-rounding in the simulation of
    floating-point multiply-add/subtract instructions have been fixed.  These
    should now behave exactly as the hardware does.

  - Partial support for the ARM v8.2 instruction set.  v8.2 support work is
    ongoing.  Support for the half-word variants of at least the following
    instructions has been added:
       FABS <Hd>, <Hn>
       FABS <Vd>.<T>, <Vn>.<T>
       FNEG <Hd>, <Hn>
       FNEG <Vd>.<T>, <Vn>.<T>
       FSQRT <Hd>, <Hn>
       FSQRT <Vd>.<T>, <Vn>.<T>
       FADDP

* s390:

  - Implement the new instructions/features that were added to z/Architecture
    with the vector-enhancements facility 1.  Also cover the instructions from
    the vector-packed-decimal facility that are defined outside the chapter
    "Vector Decimal Instructions", but not the ones from that chapter itself.

    For a detailed list of newly supported instructions see the updates to
    `docs/internals/s390-opcodes.csv'.

    Since the miscellaneous instruction extensions facility 2 was already
    added in Valgrind 3.16.0, this completes the support necessary to run
    general programs built with `--march=z14' under Valgrind.  The
    vector-packed-decimal facility is currently not exploited by the standard
    toolchain and libraries.

* ppc64:

  - Various bug fixes.  Fix for the sync field to limit setting just two of
    the two bits in the L-field. Fix the write size for the stxsibx and
    stxsihx instructions.  Fix the modsw and modsd instructions.

  - Partial support for ISA 3.1 has been added.  Support for the VSX PCV mask
    instructions, bfloat16 GER instructions, and bfloat16 to/from float 32-bit
    conversion instructions are still missing.

* ==================== TOOL CHANGES ====================

* General tool changes

  - All the tools and their vgpreload libraries are now installed under
    libexec because they cannot be executed directly and should be run through
    the valgrind executable. This should be an internal, not user visible,
    change, but might impact valgrind packagers.

  - The --track-fds option now respects -q, --quiet and won't output anything
    if no file descriptors are leaked. It also won't report the standard stdin
    (0), stdout (1) or stderr (2) descriptors as being leaked with
    --trace-fds=yes anymore. To track whether the standard file descriptors
    are still open at the end of the program run use --trace-fds=all.

* DHAT:

  - DHAT has been extended, with two new modes of operation. The new
    --mode=copy flag triggers copy profiling, which records calls to memcpy,
    strcpy, and similar functions. The new --mode=ad-hoc flag triggers ad hoc
    profiling, which records calls to the DHAT_AD_HOC_EVENT client request in
    the new dhat/dhat.h file. This is useful for learning more about hot code
    paths. See the user manual for more information about the new modes.

  - Because of these changes, DHAT's file format has changed. DHAT output
    files produced with earlier versions of DHAT will not work with this
    version of DHAT's viewer, and DHAT output files produced with this version
    of DHAT will not work with earlier versions of DHAT's viewer.

* ==================== FIXED BUGS ====================

The following bugs have been fixed or resolved.  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 (https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=valgrind) rather
than mailing the developers (or mailing lists) directly -- bugs that
are not entered into bugzilla tend to get forgotten about or ignored.
