+Release 1.0.4 (14 Oct 02)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+1.0.4 adds support for Red Hat 8, and improves support for code
+compiled with gcc-3.1 and above.  Really this is the first valgrind
+which works reasonably well for systems built with gcc-3.1 and above.
+
+- Support for Red Hat 8.  Mostly this means changes to the thread
+  support to make thread-local locales work.
+
+- Fix a serious bug in the DWARF2 debug information reader.  DWARF2 is
+  the debug info format used by gcc-3.1 and above.  The bug caused
+  approximately one third of all addresses to not get mapped to any
+  source location, so this fix should make a big difference.
+
+- Better handling of inlined strlen() et al with gcc-3.1 and above.
+  Versions of valgrind prior to 1.0.4 tended to falsely report 
+  uninitialised value errors in some inlined strlen() functions
+  created with recent gcc's.  1.0.4 includes a fix for this.  The
+  --avoid-strlen-errors= flag controls the fix; it is enabled by
+  default.
+
+- Valgrind now makes use of information from ELF dynamic symbol
+  tables.  This means it can often find function names even in ELF
+  .so's which have been stripped.
+
+- The longstanding link-errors caused by missing
+  __pthread_clock_settime / __pthread_clock_gettime have been fixed, I
+  hope.  These problems particularly afflicted Red Hat 7.3 users for
+  some reason.
+
+- Fixed a nasty bug in which valgrind's calloc() was ignoring
+  alignment requests made with the --alignment= flag.
+
+- Added an FAQ.txt to the source distribution, to help people work
+  around commonly encountered problems.
+
+- Added the flag --weird-hacks=lax-ioctls.  This selects more relaxed
+  checking of ioctl() arguments, which is useful if you're dealing
+  with ioctls which valgrind knows nothing about and are getting a lot
+  of errors as a result.
+
+- Catch uses of __select() and __poll() and treat them as select() and
+  poll().
+
+- Implement (sort-of) pthread_attr_{set,get}guardsize.
+
+- Implement sem_timedwait().
+
+- Implement primary opcode 0x1A (SBB Eb,Gb).
+
+- Add a small army of new syscalls:
+     setxattr lsetxattr fsetxattr getxattr fgetxattr listxattr 
+     llistxattr flistxattr removexattr lremovexattr fremovexattr 
+  and ioctls:
+     SNDCTL_DSP_POST SNDCTL_DSP_RESET SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC
+     SNDCTL_DSP_SETSYNCRO SNDCTL_DSP_SETDUPLEX
+
+- Minor documentation updates.
+
+
