* Wed Nov 21 2018 Dirk Mueller - update to 3.14.0 (bsc#1114575, FATE#326355): see http://www.valgrind.org/docs/manual/dist.news.html
* The new option --keep-debuginfo=no|yes (default no) can be used to retain debug info for unloaded code. This allows saved stack traces (e.g. for memory leaks) to include file/line info for code that has been dlclose\'d (or similar). See the user manual for more information and known limitations.
* Ability to specify suppressions based on source file name and line number.
* Majorly overhauled register allocator. No end-user changes, but the JIT generates code a bit more quickly now.
* Preliminary support for macOS 10.13 has been added.
* mips: support for MIPS32/MIPS64 Revision 6 has been added.
* mips: support for MIPS SIMD architecture (MSA) has been added.
* mips: support for MIPS N32 ABI has been added.
* s390: partial support for vector instructions (integer and string) has been added.
* Helgrind: Addition of a flag - -delta-stacktrace=no|yes [yes on linux amd64/x86] which specifies how full history stack traces should be computed. Setting this to =yes can speed up Helgrind by 25% when using - -history-level=full.
* Memcheck: reduced false positive rate for optimised code created by Clang 6 / LLVM 6 on x86, amd64 and arm64. In particular, Memcheck analyses code blocks more carefully to determine where it can avoid expensive definedness checks without loss of precision. This is controlled by the flag - -expensive-definedness-checks=no|auto|yes [auto].
* Valgrind is now buildable with link-time optimisation (LTO). A new configure option --enable-lto=yes allows building Valgrind with LTO. If the toolchain supports it, this produces a smaller/faster Valgrind (up to 10%). Note that if you are doing Valgrind development, --enable-lto=yes massively slows down the build process.- remove epoll-wait-fix.patch, Fix-access-to-time-base-register-to-return-64-bits.patch, 0001-Accept-read-only-PT_LOAD-segments-and-.rodata.patch (upstream),

* Better control over the leak checker. It is now possible to specify which leak kinds (definite/indirect/possible/reachable) should be displayed.
* Reduced \"possible leak\" reports from the leak checker by the use of better heuristics.
* Better control of stacktrace acquisition for heap-allocated blocks.

* Fixes some assertion failures.
* Support for some missing instructions on ARM.
* Support instructions MOVAPS and TZCNT.
* Bug fixes.
* Wed Sep 05 2012 dmuellerAATTsuse.com- update to 3.8.0 (FATE#314090):
* 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= 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 many blocks and/or having many partially defined bytes. - Addition of GDB server monitor command \'block_list\' that lists the addresses/sizes of the blocks of a leak search loss record. - Addition of GDB server monitor command \'who_points_at\' that lists the locations pointing at a block. - If a redzone size > 0 is given, VALGRIND_MALLOCLIKE_BLOCK now will detect an invalid access of these redzones, by marking them noaccess. Similarly, if a redzone size is given for a memory pool, VALGRIND_MEMPOOL_ALLOC will mark the redzones no access. This still allows to find some bugs if the user has forgotten to mark the pool superblock noaccess. - Performance of memory leak check has been improved, especially in cases where there are many leaked blocks and/or many suppression rules used to suppress leak reports. - Reduced noise (false positive) level on MacOSX 10.6/10.7, due to more precise analysis, which is important for LLVM/Clang generated code. This is at the cost of somewhat reduced performance. Note there is no change to analysis precision or costs on Linux targets.
* DRD: - Added even more facilities that can help finding the cause of a data race, namely the command-line option --ptrace-addr and the macro DRD_STOP_TRACING_VAR(x). More information can be found in the manual. - Fixed a subtle bug that could cause false positive data race reports.
* The C++ demangler has been updated so as to work well with C++ compiled by up to at least g++ 4.6.
* Tool developers can make replacement/wrapping more flexible thanks to the new option --soname-synonyms. This was reported above, but in fact is very general and applies to all function replacement/wrapping, not just to malloc-family functions.
* Round-robin scheduling of threads can be selected, using the new option --fair-sched= yes. Prior to this change, the pipe-based thread serialisation mechanism (which is still the default) could give very unfair scheduling. --fair-sched=yes improves responsiveness of interactive multithreaded applications, and improves repeatability of results from the thread checkers Helgrind and DRD.
* For tool developers: support to run Valgrind on Valgrind has been improved. We can now routinely Valgrind on Helgrind or Memcheck.
* gdbserver now shows the float shadow registers as integer rather than float values, as the shadow values are mostly used as bit patterns.
* Increased limit for the --num-callers command line flag to 500.
* Performance improvements for error matching when there are many suppression records in use.
* Improved support for DWARF4 debugging information (bug 284184).
* Initial support for DWZ compressed Dwarf debug info.
* Improved control over the IR optimiser\'s handling of the tradeoff between performance and precision of exceptions. Specifically, - -vex-iropt-precise-memory-exns has been removed and replaced by - -vex-iropt-register-updates, with extended functionality. This allows the Valgrind gdbserver to always show up to date register values to GDB.
* Modest performance gains through the use of translation chaining for JIT-generated code.
* Fri Aug 17 2012 burnusAATTnet-b.de- Support TZCNT/LZCNT instructions, generated by GCC 4.8, by falling back to BSF/BSR. (bnc#776211)
* Sun Jul 22 2012 ajAATTsuse.de- Support glibc 2.16.
* Mon Jun 04 2012 dmuellerAATTsuse.com- arch is now armv7hl
* Tue May 15 2012 sndirschAATTsuse.com- add \"BuildRequires: pkgconfig\" so the provides for \"pkgconfig(valgrind)\" gets created again
* Thu May 10 2012 vuntzAATTopensuse.org- Remove xorg-x11-devel BuildRequires: I can only guess it was there to make sure the xfree supp files are used, but they are used anyway by default. This helps resolve a build loop between libdrm and valgrind.
* Thu Apr 26 2012 joop.boonenAATTopensuse.org- Added patch valgrind-3.7.0-automake-1.11.2.patch to fix automake issue

* Wed Nov 09 2011 dmuellerAATTsuse.de- 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)

* Mon Apr 11 2011 dmuellerAATTsuse.de- fix testsuite for s390 (kde#264800, kde#265762, kde#253206)- Add folding rules for Clz32 and Clz64 (kde#243404)- Refresh s390x port (kde#243404)
* Wed Mar 16 2011 dmuellerAATTsuse.de- update to 3.6.1 (bnc#679106): 3.6.1 is a bug fix release. It adds support for some SSE4 instructions that were omitted in 3.6.0 due to lack of time. Initial support for glibc-2.13 has been added. A number of bugs causing crashing or assertion failures have been fixed.
* Fri Oct 22 2010 dmuellerAATTsuse.de- update to 3.6.0: 3.6.0 is a feature release with many significant improvements and the usual collection of bug fixes. See the NEWS file for details.
* Thu Oct 21 2010 dmuellerAATTsuse.de- apparently gcc-32bit does not exist on old code streams, but it seems to work without it as well
* Wed Oct 20 2010 dmuellerAATTsuse.de- disable building docs until I find a way to build them without network access
* Wed Oct 13 2010 dmuellerAATTsuse.de- add s390x port (FATE#310036)- update to 3.6.0 snapshot: - Valgrind runs much faster when the --smc-check=all option is given. - Cachegrind has a new processing script, cg_diff, which finds the difference between two profiles. It\'s very useful for evaluating the performance effects of a change in a program. Related to this change, the meaning of cg_annotate\'s (rarely-used) - -threshold option has changed; this is unlikely to affect many people, if you do use it please see the user manual for details. - Callgrind now can do branch prediction simulation, similar to Cachegrind. In addition, it optionally can count the number of executed global bus events. Both can be used for a better approximation of a \"Cycle Estimation\" as derived event (you need to update the event formula in KCachegrind yourself). - Cachegrind and Callgrind now refer to the LL (last-level) cache rather than the L2 cache. This is to accommodate machines with three levels of caches -- if Cachegrind/Callgrind auto-detects the cache configuration of such a machine it will run the simulation as if the L2 cache isn\'t present. This means the results are less likely to match the true result for the machine, but Cachegrind/Callgrind\'s results are already only approximate, and should not be considered authoritative. The results are still useful for giving a general idea about a program\'s locality. - Massif has a new option, --pages-as-heap, which is disabled by default. When enabled, instead of tracking allocations at the level of heap blocks (as allocated with malloc/new/new[]), it instead tracks memory allocations at the level of memory pages (as mapped by mmap, brk, etc). Each mapped page is treated as its own block. Interpreting the page-level output is harder than the heap-level output, but this option is useful if you want to account for every byte of memory used by a program. - Added new memcheck command-line option --show-possibly-lost. - Support for analyzing programs running under Wine with has been improved. The header files , and can now be used in Windows-programs compiled with MinGW or one of the Microsoft Visual Studio compilers. - DRD does now have two new command-line options: --free-is-write and - -trace-alloc. The former allows to detect reading from already freed memory, and the latter allows to trace all memory allocations and deallocations. - Several new annotations have been added in DRD: custom barrier implementations can now be annotated and benign races on static variables too. - The happens before / happens after annotations in DRD have been made more powerful such that these can now also be used to annotate e.g. a smart pointer implementation.
