    Thanks! I’ve been running a random svn version with quite a bit of success, but it’s nice to have a released version I can show to friends.

    Finally, I can do away with linux :)

    Congratulations! It’s been an interesting read watching the Mac OS X support develop on SVN and through this blog.

    This is great news! However, I’m disappointed to see that the “definitely lost” are counted as errors just like buffer overruns and the like… Would it be possible to call them warning instead?

      mmc: if you don’t run with –leak-check=yes then definitely lost leaks won’t be counted as errors.

    Congrats and thanks! Here’s hoping garbage collection support will come soon, so that I can actually use Valgrind. :)
