Hello.  Please could you post the following in the Development section?

J



We are pleased to announce a new release of Valgrind, version 3.1.0.
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.

3.1.0 improves on 3.0.0 in three major areas.  AMD64 support is much
improved, with transparent interworking of 32- and 64-bit executables.
32-bit PowerPC is now officially supported and is eminently usable.
Finally, memory management for all platforms has been overhauled,
allowing larger programs to run successfully.  There have been many 
other improvements and bug-fixes relative to the 3.0.X line.

In parallel with the 3.1.0 release, new versions of the Callgrind
profiling tool (0.10.1) and Valkyrie GUI (1.1.0) are also available.

Happy (and productive) debugging and profiling,

-- The Valgrind Developers
