Version 0.190
readelf: Support readelf -Ds, --use-dynamic --symbol.
Version 0.189 "Don't deflate!"
configure: eu-nm, eu-addr2line and eu-stack can provide demangled symbols
when linked with libstdc++. Use --disable-demangler to disable.
A new option --enable-sanitize-memory has been added for msan
sanitizer support.
libelf: elf_compress now supports ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD when build against
libzstd
libdwfl: dwfl_module_return_value_location now returns 0 (no return type)
for DIEs that point to a DW_TAG_unspecified_type.
elfcompress: -t, --type= now support zstd if libelf has been build with
ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD support.
backends: Add support for LoongArch and Synopsys ARCv2 processors.
Version 0.188 "no section left behind"
readelf: Add -D, --use-dynamic option.
debuginfod-client: Add $DEBUGINFOD_HEADERS_FILE setting to supply outgoing
HTTP headers. Add new function debuginfod_find_section.
debuginfod: Add --disable-source-scan option.
libdwfl: Add new function dwfl_get_debuginfod_client.
Add new function dwfl_frame_reg.
Add new function dwfl_report_offline_memory.
Version 0.187 "no zero negatives"
debuginfod: Support -C option for connection thread pooling.
debuginfod-client: Negative cache file are now zero sized instead of
no-permission files.
addr2line: The -A, --absolute option, which shows file names including
the full compilation directory is now the default. To get the
old behavior use the new option --relative.
readelf, elflint: Recognize FDO Packaging Metadata ELF notes
libdw, debuginfo-client: Load libcurl lazily only when files need to
be fetched remotely. libcurl is now never
loaded when DEBUGINFOD_URLS is unset. And when
DEBUGINFOD_URLS is set, libcurl is only loaded
when the debuginfod_begin function is called.
Version 0.186 "Just In Time"
debuginfod-client: Default $DEBUGINFOD_URLS is computed from drop-in files
/etc/debuginfod/*.urls rather than hardcoded into the
/etc/profile.d/debuginfod* scripts.
Add $DEBUGINFOD_MAXSIZE and $DEBUGINFOD_MAXTIME settings
for skipping large/slow transfers.
Add $DEBUGINFOD_RETRY for retrying aborted lookups.
debuginfod: Supply extra HTTP response headers, describing archive/file
names that satisfy the requested buildid content.
Support -d :memory: option for in-memory databases.
Protect against loops in federated server configurations.
Add -r option to use -I/-X regexes for grooming stale files.
Protect against wasted CPU from duplicate concurrent requests.
Limit the duration of groom ops roughly to rescan (-t) times.
Add --passive mode for serving from read-only database.
Several other performance improvements & prometheus metrics.
libdw: Support for the NVIDIA Cuda line map extensions.
DW_LNE_NVIDIA_inlined_call and DW_LNE_NVIDIA_set_function_name
are defined in dwarf.h. New functions dwarf_linecontext and
dwarf_linefunctionname
translations: Update Japanese translation.
Version 0.185 "oops, I did it again"
debuginfod-client: Simplify curl handle reuse so downloads which
return an error are retried.
elfcompress: Always exit with code 0 when the operation succeeds (even
when nothing was done). On error the exit code is now always 1.
Version 0.184 "negative results"
debuginfod: Use libarchive's bsdtar as the .deb-family file unpacker.
debuginfod-client: Client caches negative results. If a query for a
file failed with 404, an empty 000 permission
file is created in the cache. This will prevent
requesting the same file for the next 10 minutes.
Client objects now carry long-lived curl handles
for outgoing connections. This makes it more
efficient for multiple sequential queries, because
the TCP connections and/or TLS state info are kept
around awhile, avoiding O(100ms) setup latencies.
libdw: handle DW_FORM_indirect when reading attributes
translations: Update Polish translation.
Version 0.183 "100+ commits"
debuginfod: New thread-busy metric and more detailed error metrics.
New --fdcache-mintmp and tracking of filesystem freespace.
New increased webapi concurrency while grooming.
debuginfod-client: DEBUGINFOD_SONAME macro added to debuginfod.h which
can be used to dlopen the libdebuginfod.so library.
New function debuginfod_set_verbose_fd and
DEBUGINFOD_VERBOSE environment variable.
config: profile.sh and profile.csh won't export DEBUGINFOD_URLS unless
configured --enable-debuginfod-urls[=URLS]
elflint, readelf: Recognize SHF_GNU_RETAIN.
Handle SHT_X86_64_UNWIND as valid relocation target.
Version 0.182 "October Surprise!"
backends: Support for tilegx has been removed.
config: New /etc/profile.d files to provide default $DEBUGINFOD_URLS.
debuginfod: More efficient package traversal, tolerate various errors
during scanning, grooming progress is more visible and
interruptible, more prometheus metrics.
debuginfod-client: Now supports compressed (kernel) ELF images.
libdwfl: Add ZSTD compression support.
Version 0.181 "Show me your ARMs"
libelf: elf_update now compensates (fixes up) a bad sh_addralign for
SHF_COMPRESSED sections.
libdebuginfod: configure now takes --enable-libdebuginfod=dummy or
--disable-libdebuginfod for bootstrapping.
DEBUGINFOD_URLS now accepts "scheme-free" urls
(guessing at what the user meant, either http:// or file://)
readelf, elflint: Handle aarch64 bti, pac bits in dynamic table and gnu
property notes.
libdw, readelf: Recognize DW_CFA_AARCH64_negate_ra_state. Allows unwinding
on arm64 for code that is compiled for PAC (Pointer
Authentication Code) as long as it isn't enabled.
Version 0.180 "We got an L, we got an T, can we have a O?"
elflint: Allow SHF_EXCLUDE as generic section flag when --gnu is given.
libdw, readelf: Handle GCC LTO .gnu.debuglto_ prefix.
libdw: Use correct CU to resolve file names in dwarf_decl_file.
libdwfl: Handle debugaltlink in dwfl_standard_find_debuginfo.
size: Also obey radix printing for bsd format.
nm: Explicitly print weak 'V' or 'T' and common 'C' symbols.
Version 0.179 "All your packages are belong to us!"
debuginfod-client: When DEBUGINFOD_PROGRESS is set and the program doesn't
install its own debuginfod_progressfn_t show download
progress on stderr.
DEBUGINFOD_TIMEOUT is now defined as seconds to get at
least 100K, defaults to 90 seconds.
Default to $XDG_CACHE_HOME/debuginfod_client.
New functions debuginfod_set_user_data,
debuginfod_get_user_data, debuginfod_get_url and
debuginfod_add_http_header.
Support for file:// URLs.
debuginfod: Uses libarchive directly for reading rpm archives.
Support for indexing .deb/.ddeb archives through dpkg-deb
or bsdtar.
Generic archive support through -Z EXT[=CMD]. Which can be
used for example for arch-linux pacman files by using
-Z '.tar.zst=zstdcat'.
Better logging using User-Agent and X-Forwarded-For headers.
More prometheus metrics.
Support for eliding dots or extraneous slashes in path names.
debuginfod-find: Accept /path/names in place of buildid hex.
libelf: Handle PN_XNUM in elf_getphdrnum before shdr 0 is cached
Ensure zlib resource cleanup on failure.
libdwfl: dwfl_linux_kernel_find_elf and dwfl_linux_kernel_report_offline
now find and handle a compressed vmlinuz image.
readelf, elflint: Handle PT_GNU_PROPERTY.
translations: Updated Ukrainian translation.
Version 0.178 "All the build-id you can count!"
debuginfod: New server, client tool and library to index and fetch
ELF/DWARF files addressed by build-id through HTTP.

Version 0.172 "DWARF5 bugs split!"

Thanks to running the afl fuzzer on eu-readelf and various testcases.
eu-readelf -N is ~15% faster.
Version 0.171 "DWARF5 split!"
DWARF5 and split dwarf, including GNU DebugFission, are supported now.
Data can be read from the new DWARF sections .debug_addr, .debug_line_str,
.debug_loclists, .debug_str_offsets and .debug_rnglists. Plus the new
DWARF5 and GNU DebugFission encodings of the existing .debug sections.
Also in split DWARF .dwo (DWARF object) files. This support is mostly
handled by existing functions (dwarf_getlocation*, dwarf_getsrclines,
dwarf_ranges, dwarf_form*, etc.) now returning the data from the new
sections and data formats. But some new functions have been added
to more easily get information about skeleton and split compile units
(dwarf_get_units and dwarf_cu_info), handle new attribute data
(dwarf_getabbrevattr_data) and to keep references to Dwarf_Dies
that might come from different sections or files (dwarf_die_addr_die).
Not yet supported are .dwp (Dwarf Package) and .sup (Dwarf Supplementary)
files, the .debug_names index, the .debug_cu_index and .debug_tu_index
sections. Only a single .debug_info (and .debug_types) section are
currently handled.

--dwarf-skeleton can be used when inspecting a .dwo file.
Recognizes GNU locviews with --debug-dump=loc.

dwarf_getabbrevattr_data and dwarf_cu_info.
