- update to 3.8.0:
* Support for MIPS32 platforms running Linux. Valgrind has been
tested on MIPS32 and MIPS32r2 platforms running different Debian
Squeeze and MeeGo distributions. Both little-endian and big-endian
cores are supported. The tools Memcheck, Massif and Lackey have
been tested and are known to work. See README.mips for more details.
* Preliminary support for Android running on x86.
* Preliminary (as-yet largely unusable) support for MacOSX 10.8.
* Support for Intel AVX instructions and for AES instructions. This
support is available only for 64 bit code.
* Support for POWER Decimal Floating Point instructions.
* Non-libc malloc implementations are now supported. This is useful
for tools that replace malloc (Memcheck, Massif, DRD, Helgrind).
Using the new option --soname-synonyms, such tools can be informed
that the malloc implementation is either linked statically into the
executable, or is present in some other shared library different
from libc.so. This makes it possible to process statically linked
programs, and programs using other malloc libraries, for example
TCMalloc or JEMalloc.
* For tools that provide their own replacement for malloc et al, the
option --redzone-size=<number> allows users to specify the size of
the padding blocks (redzones) added before and after each client
allocated block. Smaller redzones decrease the memory needed by
Valgrind. Bigger redzones increase the chance to detect blocks
overrun or underrun. Prior to this change, the redzone size was
hardwired to 16 bytes in Memcheck.
* Memcheck:
- The leak_check GDB server monitor command now can
control the maximum nr of loss records to output.
- Reduction of memory use for applications allocating

- update to 3.7.0 (bnc#724215):
* Support for IBM z/Architecture (s390x) running Linux. Valgrind can
analyse 64-bit programs running on z/Architecture. Most user space
instructions up to and including z10 are supported.
See README.s390 for more details.
* Support for the IBM Power ISA 2.06 (Power7 instructions)
* Further solidification of support for SSE 4.2 in 64-bit mode
* Memcheck:
* - reduction of memory use in some circumstances
* - improved handling of freed memory for finding more errors
* - fix of a longstanding bug that could cause false negatives
* Helgrind:
* - Helgrind: performance improvements and major memory use reductions
* GDB server: Valgrind now has an embedded GDB server. That means it
is possible to control a Valgrind run from GDB, doing all the usual
things that GDB can do (single stepping, breakpoints, examining
data, etc). Tool-specific functionality is also available.
* Over 160 bugs have been fixed.
