Description:
In the section, "1.2.2: The Main Features of MySQL", 

    link: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/features.html

Under "Internals and Portability", there is a bullet point that includes a link to the Valgrind tool:

    Original text:

    "Tested with Purify (a commercial memory leakage detector) as well as with Valgrind, a GPL tool (http://developer.kde.org/~sewardj/)."

The link http://developer.kde.org/~sewardj/ is out of date, and should be replaced with https://valgrind.org/ .

How to repeat:
Go to https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/features.html

Scroll to "Internals and Portability"

Observe the bullet point:

    "Tested with Purify (a commercial memory leakage detector) as well as with Valgrind, a GPL tool (http://developer.kde.org/~sewardj/)."

Attempt to go to the link: http://developer.kde.org/~sewardj/

Observe that the link redirects to https://valgrind.org/

, which indicates that http://developer.kde.org/~sewardj/ is now an out of date link, and that references to http://developer.kde.org/~sewardj/ should be replaced with https://valgrind.org/

Suggested fix:
Just need to replace the the link:

    http://developer.kde.org/~sewardj/

with

    https://valgrind.org/
