12 points by paulf38 31 days ago
Just a minor point release, mainly for a regression that I introduced :-(

The following bugs have been fixed or resolved in this point release.

519574 valgrind 3.27 "--fair-sched=yes" does not work 519613 Valgrind incorrectly unpacks the result of sys_port (port_getn) on error, leading to a ~60s wallclock time delay on every call n-i-bz Update vg-lifespan (copyright) years n-i-bz Use SSizeT for VG_(readlink) result in VG_(realpath)

Nice to see a maintenance release focused on real regressions. The fair sched fix alone is pretty important.
And sadly that was one that I broke trying to refactor together all our C++ autoconf tests. Silver lining, I added a test for it so if I break it again we should notice earlier.
