Changed

• All binaries formats now have lifetimes
• Elf has a lifetime
• Strtab.new now requires a &'a[u8]
• Strtab.get now returns a scroll::Result<&'a str> (use strtab[index] if you want old behavior and don't care about panics); returning scroll::Error is a bug, fixed in next release

[0.0.9] - 2017-04-05

Changed

• Archive has a lifetime
• Mach has a lifetime
