+Release 3.4.1 (28 February 2009)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+3.4.1 is a bug-fix release that fixes some regressions and assertion
+failures in debug info reading in 3.4.0, most notably incorrect stack
+traces on amd64-linux on older (glibc-2.3 based) systems. Various
+other debug info problems are also fixed. A number of bugs in the
+exp-ptrcheck tool introduced in 3.4.0 have been fixed.
+
+In view of the fact that 3.4.0 contains user-visible regressions
+relative to 3.3.x, upgrading to 3.4.1 is recommended. Packagers are
+encouraged to ship 3.4.1 in preference to 3.4.0.
+
+The fixed bugs are as follows. Note that "n-i-bz" stands for "not in
+bugzilla" -- that is, a bug that was reported to us but never got a
+bugzilla entry. We encourage you to file bugs in bugzilla
+(http://bugs.kde.org/enter_valgrind_bug.cgi) rather than mailing the
+developers (or mailing lists) directly -- bugs that are not entered
+into bugzilla tend to get forgotten about or ignored.
+
+n-i-bz Fix various bugs reading icc-11 generated debug info
+n-i-bz Fix various bugs reading gcc-4.4 generated debug info
+n-i-bz Preliminary support for glibc-2.10 / Fedora 11
+n-i-bz Cachegrind and Callgrind: handle non-power-of-two cache sizes,
+ so as to support (eg) 24k Atom D1 and Core2 with 3/6/12MB L2.
+179618 exp-ptrcheck crashed / exit prematurely
+179624 helgrind: false positive races with pthread_create and
+ recv/open/close/read

+176926 floating point exception at valgrind startup with PPC 440EPX
