Valgrind 1.0.0 Released

Anonymous Lazy Boy writes "Yesterday saw the official release of Valgrind 1.0.0. Valgrind is a C/C++ programmer's dream come true: effortless memory allocation checking, uninitialized memory access, leaks etc. Purify for Linux has arrived, only better: contrary to its commercial (non-Linux) sibling, checking is performed directly on the executable, no re-linking necessary. The technology behind Valgrind is highly fascinating and explained down to the very gory details in the documentation."

For a long time, CmdrTaco was special-cased in the code: he posted at score:3 by default. :)

Just score:3? Interesting, I believe I saw some people posting with score:4 by default. They must be some big guys out there. :)
