Stack traces produced when --xml=yes is specified are different and
unchanged.
+* The graphs drawn by Massif's ms_print program have changed slightly:
+ - The half-height chars '.' and ',' are no longer drawn, because they are
+ confusing. The --y option can be used if the default y-resolution is
+ not high enough.
+ - Horizontal lines are now drawn after the top of a snapshot if there is a
+ gap until the next snapshot. This makes it clear that the memory
+ usage has not dropped to zero between snapshots.
+
* The location of some install files has changed. This should not affect
most users. Those who might be affected:
-
- For people who use Valgrind with MPI programs, the installed
libmpiwrap.so library has moved from $(INSTALL)/<platform>/libmpiwrap.so
to $(INSTALL)/libmpiwrap-<platform>.so.
-
- For people who distribute standalone Valgrind tools, the installed
libraries such as $(INSTALL)/<platform>/libcoregrind.a have moved to
$(INSTALL)/libcoregrind-<platform>.a.
