Hi,
We'd like to release Valgrind 3.5.0 some time in the next month or so.
As you've undoubtedly noticed I've gone through all our old bugs,
closing a lot of them. We have 210 open bugs, which is about 100 less
than we did before I started. We also have 90-odd feature requests
("wishlist" bugs) which I haven't gone through yet.
I've been marking bugs that I felt important as having a target of
"blocking3.5.0" (ie. we must fix this before releasing 3.5.0) or
"wanted3.5.0" (ie. we'd like to fix this before releasing 3.5.0).
This lets us quantify progress towards the release. It also makes it
easy for others to contribute.
If you want to see the blocking3.5.0 bugs, this URL will do it:
https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=dorem&remaction=run&namedcmd=Valgrind%20blocking3.5.0
And wanted3.5.0:
https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=dorem&remaction=run&namedcmd=Valgrind%20wanted3.5.0
We currently have 24 blockers and 45 wanted bugs. A lot of them are
assigned but if anyone wants to help and sees one they think they can
contribute to, please feel free to do so. Nominations for
blocking/wanted bugs are also welcome.
Nick

There are also a couple of outstanding bugs in the XML department, which I'll fix at the same time. J |

Which combinations of operating system (Linux/Darwin/AIX), operating
system distribution, operating system version and CPU instruction set
will be supported by the 3.5.0 release ? This kind of information
should not only be included in the release notes. This information is
also essential for testers such that they know which platforms to run
tests on.
Bart.

Definite:
- x86/Linux
- amd64/Linux
- ppc32/Linux
- ppc64/Linux
- x86/Darwin
As for Linux distros, it'll be tested on whatever people have... I
have Ubuntu 9.04, Julian has some OpenSUSE and maybe some others. For
Darwin it's 10.5.0 and greater.
Will work, but not great:
- amd64/Darwin
Entirely unclear:
- aix5/ppc32
- aix5/ppc64
The aix5 versions almost certainly are broken
(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198392, which I haven't even
marked as "wanted"). Whether these get fixed is pretty much up to
Julian. And if they don't get fixed now it raises the question of
whether they'll ever be fixed and what we should do with AIX
longer-term. (It's also interesting that the AIX support was
mentioned in the 3.3.0 release notes, but it's never made it onto
http://www.valgrind.org/info/platforms.html; indeed it's listed as a
platform "of little interest"!)
