  46
  47 + Version 0.25 (2018.09.01)
  48
  49   - Make parsing of SH_TYPE and PT_TYPE fields dependent on the machine
  50     (e_machine header field), making it possible to support conflicting type
  51     enums between different machines (#71 and #121).

  56   - Convert all ascii encoding to utf-8 encoding (#182)
  57   - Don't attempt to hex/string dump SHT_NOBITS sections in readelf (#119).
  58   - Test with Python 3.6
  59   - Minor bugfixes (#118)
  60   - Cleanup: Use argparse instead of optparse
  61   - Make readelf comparison tests run in parallel using multiprocessing; cuts
  62     testing time 3-5x
  63   - Improvements in MIPS flags handling (#165)
  64
  65 + Version 0.24 (2016.08.04)
  66
  67   - Retrieve symbols by name - get_symbol_by_name (#58).
  68   - Symbol/section names are strings internally now, not bytestrings (this may
  69     affect API usage in Python 3) (#76).
  70   - Added DT_MIPS_* constants to ENUM_D_TAG (#79)
  71   - Made dwarf_decode_address example a bit more useful for command-line
  72     invocation.
  73   - More DWARF v4 support w.r.t decoding function ranges; DW_AT_high_pc value
  74     is now either absolute or relative to DW_AT_low_pc, depending on the class
  75     of the form encoded in the file. Also #89.
  76   - Support for SHT_NOTE sections (#109)
  77   - Support for .debug_aranges section (#108)

  80
  81 + Version 0.23 (2014.11.08)
  82
  83   - Minimal Python 2.x version raised to 2.7

  85   - Support for PT_NOTE segment parsing (contributed by Alex Deymo).
  86   - Support for parsing symbol table in dynamic segment
  87     (contributed by Nam T. Nguyen).
  88
  89 + Version 0.22 (2014.03.30)
  90
  91   - pyelftools repository moved to https://github.com/eliben/pyelftools
  92   - Support for version sections - contributed by Yann Rouillard.
  93   - Better ARM support (including AArch64) - contributed by Dobromir Stefanov.
  94   - Added some initial support for parsing Solaris OpenCSW ELF files
  95     (contributed by Yann Rouillard).
  96   - Added some initial support for DWARF4 (as generated by gcc 4.8)
  97     and DWARF generated by recent versions of Clang (3.3).
  98   - Added the get_full_path utility method to DIEs that have an associated
  99     file name / path (based on pull request #16 by Shaheed Haque).
 100   - Set up Travis CI integration.
 101
 102 + Version 0.21 (2013.04.17)
 103
 104   - Added new example: dwarf_decode_address - decode function name and
 105     file & line information from an address.
 106   - Issue #7: parsing incorrect DWARF was made a bit more forgiving for cases
 107     where serialized DIE trees have extra NULLs at the end.
 108   - Very initial support for ARM ELF files (Matthew Fernandez - pull
 109     request #6).
 110   - Support for dumping the dynamic section (Mike Frysinger - pull
 111     request #7).

 120     on Windows.
 121
 122 + Version 0.10 - Initial public release (2012.01.06)
