+Release 3.3.1 (4 June 2008)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+3.3.1 fixes a bunch of bugs in 3.3.0, adds support for glibc-2.8 based
+systems (openSUSE 11, Fedora Core 9), improves the existing glibc-2.7
+support, and adds support for the SSSE3 (Core 2) instruction set.
+
+3.3.1 will likely be the last release that supports some very old
+systems.  In particular, the next major release, 3.4.0, will drop
+support for the old LinuxThreads threading library, and for gcc
+versions prior to 3.0.
+
+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.
