somewhat to move less relevant material out of the way to some extent.
The main changes are:
* Update date and version info
* Mention other tools in the quick-start guide
* Document --child-silent-after-fork
* Rearrange order of sections in the Valgrind Core chapter, to move
advanced stuff (client requests) to the end, and compact stuff
relevant to the majority of users towards the front
* Move MPI debugging stuff from the Core manual (a nonsensical place
for it) to the Memcheck chapter
* Update the manual's introductory chapter a bit
* Connect up new tech docs summary page, and disconnect old and
very out of date valgrind/memcheck tech docs
* Add section tags to the Cachegrind manual, to stop xsltproc
complaining about their absence

easier-to-use interface for if you just want to store words.

VG_(record_startup_wd) which records the working directory at startup,
and VG_(get_startup_wd) which later tells you what value was recorded.
This works because all uses of VG_(getcwd) serve only to record the
directory at process start anyway. The motivation is that AIX does
not support sys_getcwd directly, so it's easier for the launcher to
ship in the required value using an environment variable. On Linux
sys_getcwd is used as before.

--branch-sim=yes is specified, Cachegrind simulates a simple indirect
branch predictor and a conditional branch predictor. The latter
considers both the branch instruction's address and the behaviour of
the last few conditional branches. Return stack prediction is not
modelled.
The new counted events are: conditional branches (Bc), mispredicted
conditional branches (Bcm), indirect branches (Bi) and mispredicted
indirect branches (Bim). Postprocessing tools (cg_annotate, cg_merge)
handle the new events as you would expect. Note that branch
simulation is not enabled by default as it gives a 20%-25% slowdown,
so you need to ask for it explicitly using --branch-sim=yes.

precisely the name of the profile data file it should use (instead of
assuming cachegrind.out.<pid> where <pid> is specified by the --<pid>
flag). The old mechanism is still supported though.

basename to be something other than "cachegrind.out".
* Observe the core-supplied --log-file-qualifier, if specified,
in creation of output file names.
* To make the above work, move most of the stuff in cg_pre_clo_init
into cg_post_clo_init, so that the core's determination of the
log file qualifier, if any, is done by the time cachegrind comes
to process its arguments.

reused both for L2 and L3 parameters.

Cachegrind docs.
Removed the Cachegrind tech docs, because they're so out of date to be
useless. My PhD dissertation gives a much better description of how
Cachegrind works. (I mentioned this in the Cachegrind user manual.) The
only still-useful part of Cachegrind's tech docs, the output file format
description, I moved into the Cachegrind user manual.

Makefile.am changes for AIX5. Almost all boilerplate stuff fitting in
with the existing factorisation scheme. The only change of interest
is that configure.in now generates automake symbols of name
VGP_platform and VGO_os, whereas previously it just made VG_platform
which was a bit inconsistent with the VGP/VGO/VGA scheme used in C
code.

interface, except for the syscall numbers, into that. Mostly this
means moving include/vki-*.h to include/vki/vki-*.h.
include/pub_tool_basics.h previously dragged in the entire kernel
interface. I've done away with that, so that modules which need to
see the kernel interface now have to include pub_{core,tool}_vki.h
explicitly. This is why there are many modified .c files -- they have
all acquired an extra #include line.
This certainly breaks all platforms except x86. Will fix shortly.

non-redirected guest address. This is a small but significant change
needed to make function wrapping work. The problem is that with
function wrapping two different translations are associated with the
non-redirected address (of a wrapped function entry point), and so
cachegrind asserts. Whereas the redirected guest addresses reflect
the reality of only one translation associated with each address. So
use them instead.

distinction between primary and secondary build targets, and (2) make
it independent of the default behaviour of gcc (iow, what gcc does
when you specify neither -m32 nor -m64).
As a result, an out-of-the-box build on ppc64-linux now builds a
system which is basically for 64-bit PowerPC, but also has the ability
to run 32-bit ppc-linux binaries (exactly the same arrangement as you
get when building on amd64-linux).
There are various twists and turns. multiple-architectures.txt is
updated all the gory details.
This will break amd64 builds until such time as
<tool>/tests/{amd64,x86}/Makefile.am are fixed up (shortly).
