We are pleased to announce a new release of Valgrind, version 3.0.0.
It is available from http://www.valgrind.org.

Valgrind is an open-source suite of simulation based debugging and
profiling tools.  With the tools that come with Valgrind, you can
automatically detect many memory management bugs, avoiding hours of
frustrating bug-hunting, and make your code more stable.  You can also
perform detailed time and space profiling to help speed up and slim
down your programs.

3.0.0 is the first Valgrind to support both x86-linux and amd64-linux.
Support for ppc32-linux is also integrated but does not work well
enough to be useful yet.  There have been many other improvements and
refinements relative to the 2.4.X line.

Happy (and productive) debugging and profiling,

-- The Valgrind Developers
