| The major news, as per the title, is that a port to FreeBSD arm64 (or aarch64) is now ready. | ||||||
| The next steps are to get it reviewed and pushed upstream. | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| Valgrind 3.23 due out at the end of April 2024 and package:devel/valgrind[] will be updated shortly after that. | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| package:devel/valgrind-devel[] will get an update as soon as I've pushed the changes for arm64. | ||||||
