Version 0.191 "Bug fixes in C major"

libdw: dwarf_addrdie now supports binaries lacking a .debug_aranges
       section.

       Improved support for DWARF package files.  Add new function
       dwarf_cu_dwp_section_info.

debuginfod: Caching eviction logic improvements to improve retention
            of small/frequent/slow files such as Fedora's vdso.debug.

srcfiles: Can now fetch the source files of a DWARF/ELF file and
          place them into a zip.

Version 0.190 "Woke!"

CONTRIBUTING: Switch from real name policy to known identity policy.
              Updated ChangeLog policy (no more separate ChangeLog files).
              There is a SECURITY bug policy now.
              The default branch is now 'main'.

libelf: Add RELR support.

libdw: Recognize .debug_[ct]u_index sections

readelf: Support readelf -Ds, --use-dynamic --symbol.
         Support .gdb_index version 9

scrlines: New tool that compiles a list of source files associated
          with a specified dwarf/elf file.

debuginfod: Schema change (reindexing required, sorry!) for a 60%
            compression in filename representation, which was a large
            part of the sqlite index; also, more deliberate sqlite
            -wal management during scanning using the
            --scan-checkpoint option.

backends: Various LoongArch updates.

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

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.

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://)

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.

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.

            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.

Version 0.172 "DWARF5 bugs split!"

No functional changes compared to 0.171 "DWARF5 split!".

Various bug fixes in libdw and eu-readelf dealing with bad DWARF5 data.
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.

readelf: Handle all new DWARF5 sections.
         --debug-dump=info+ will show split unit DIEs when found.
         --dwarf-skeleton can be used when inspecting a .dwo file.
	 Recognizes GNU locviews with --debug-dump=loc.

libdw: New functions dwarf_die_addr_die, dwarf_get_units,
       dwarf_getabbrevattr_data and dwarf_cu_info.
       libdw will now try to resolve the alt file on first use of
       an alt attribute FORM when not set yet with dwarf_set_alt.
       dwarf_aggregate_size() now works with multi-dimensional arrays.

libdwfl: Use process_vm_readv when available instead of ptrace.

now flags level 2 (deprecated features) usage.

Version 0.33:

Create dynamic symbol table, dynamic string table, and hash table to ld.

Add hash table histogram support to readelf.

Version 0.32:

more work on elflint

Extension of linker script syntax.

Various cleanups.

Implement section group handling in readelf.

Version 0.29:

Implement section groups.  This involved a lot of code moving.  The
new code is entirely untested since gas/gcc are currently not able to
create section groups.  ld works fine on files without section groups.

Version 0.28:

Fix problem with adding more section in elf_newscn.  The section pointers
for the data buffers wasn't adjusted.

Fix elf_getdata with nonzero second parameter.  Correctly handle creation
of internal data buffer for machines without unaligned access.

Start adding support to selectively add sections.  Includes support for
section groups.
Add --gc-sections/--no-gc-sections options.
Add general section merging support.

Fix a bug in section group support in strip.

Fix some potential problems with hash value in dynamic hash implementation.

Version 0.26:

section merging works in ld.

Version 0.25:

Actually create data structures from version map file and use it to hide
symbols in ld.

Implement -s -s for ld.

Version 0.24:

Improve relocation table output in readelf.  Avoid some crashes.
Finish many section handling in readelf.

Finish: finish implementation of ld -r.  At least some simple tests pass.

Version 0.23:

Fix a number of errors in ELF_C_WRITE handling.

Almost finished implementation of ld -r.  The data sections are all copied.
Handling of symbol tables is missing.

Version 0.22:

Handle DSO and archive input files correctly if -r option is given.

Gracefully deal with no phdr in new file in libelf.
Fix various small error handling problems.
Don't mmap file for output unless the command says so.

Add code to create ELF section header table to ld finalize routines.

Version 0.21:

Fix some problems with recursive handling of archives in libelf.

Improve messages printed by nm.

Add symbol binding name handling to libebl.  Fix section name handling in
libebl.

readelf and nm use more libebl functions.

Handle XINDEX correctly in nm and string.

Add first machine ld backend library (i386).
Use it.  Recognize -r and --shared.  Avoid using -lxxx parameters for -r.
Create ELF header in output file.  Change mode of output file according to
output file type.  Reorganize callback initialization in ld.

Version 0.20:

Fix some memory leaks in libelf.

Version 0.19:

Implement reading version script.  Both inside linker scripts and via the
--version-script command line parameter.  Uses the same code.
What remains to be done is to implement a data structure which allows
efficient matching against the version names to decide which pattern
matches.

Beginning of output generation and output writing functions.

Version 0.18:

Finish implementation for DSO input file handling.  Implement rpath, runpath,
and LD_LIBRARY_PATH handling.

Version 0.17:

make handling of e_shnum overflow in libelf standard conforming

ld now actually can handle DSOs in linker scripts.  Handling of DT_RUNPATH,
DT_RPATH, -rpath, -rpath-link still remains to be implemented.

fix handling of -L parameters.  Make actual use of the default_paths element.

make re-definition of symbols in and from DSO compatible with existing linker

Version 0.16:

more work on assigning input sections to output sections.

Add gelf_xlatetof and gelf_xlatetom which were accidentally left out.

Fix memory handling of section headers.

Version 0.15:

Add many-section support to ld.  Add various new command line parameters.
Allow pagesize to be specified in linker script or on the command line.
Collect input sections in list for the output section according to the rules
specified in the linker script.

Version 0.14:

Fix some problems in the internal list handling which had the result
that we didn't look for some of the unresolved symbols.

Free some memory if we know we don't need it anymore.

Optimize the list of unresolved symbols.  Throw out symbols which are
meanwhile resolved.

Version 0.13:

Got file reading correct now.  The files are all read while parsing
the parameters.  No creating of data structures to describe the linker
command line.  The symbol table is built up while reading the files.
DSOs are handled now.  -( -) handling is optimized.

Version 0.12:

Linker read linker scripts everywhere.  Handles --whole-archive.  Recognizes
--dynamic and --static.  Collects defined and undefined symbols.  Recognizes
conflicts.

libebl now defines functions to call the callbacks.  Add generic name handling
in these new functions.  Remove the code from readelf and call the new
functions.

Version 0.11:

Start of linker.  Basic argument parsing, finding of input files,
linker script reading.
