  30   - Lazy DIE parsing to speed up partial parsing of DWARF info (#249)
  31
  32 + Version 0.25 (2018.09.01)
  33
  34   - Make parsing of SH_TYPE and PT_TYPE fields dependent on the machine
  35     (e_machine header field), making it possible to support conflicting type
  36     enums between different machines (#71 and #121).
  37   - Add parsing and readelf dumping for .eh_frame (#155)
  38   - Support compressed sections (#152)
  39   - Better support for parsing core dumps (#147)
  40   - More comprehensive handling of ARM relocations (#121)
  41   - Convert all ascii encoding to utf-8 encoding (#182)
  42   - Don't attempt to hex/string dump SHT_NOBITS sections in readelf (#119).
  43   - Test with Python 3.6
  44   - Minor bugfixes (#118)
  45   - Cleanup: Use argparse instead of optparse
  46   - Make readelf comparison tests run in parallel using multiprocessing; cuts
  47     testing time 3-5x
  48   - Improvements in MIPS flags handling (#165)
  49
  50 + Version 0.24 (2016.08.04)
  51
  52   - Retrieve symbols by name - get_symbol_by_name (#58).
  53   - Symbol/section names are strings internally now, not bytestrings (this may
  54     affect API usage in Python 3) (#76).
  55   - Added DT_MIPS_* constants to ENUM_D_TAG (#79)
  56   - Made dwarf_decode_address example a bit more useful for command-line
  57     invocation.
  58   - More DWARF v4 support w.r.t decoding function ranges; DW_AT_high_pc value
  59     is now either absolute or relative to DW_AT_low_pc, depending on the class
  60     of the form encoded in the file. Also #89.
  61   - Support for SHT_NOTE sections (#109)
  62   - Support for .debug_aranges section (#108)
  63   - Support for zlib-compressed debug sections (#102)
  64   - Support for DWARF v4 line programs (#82)
  65
  66 + Version 0.23 (2014.11.08)
  67
  68   - Minimal Python 2.x version raised to 2.7
  69   - Basic support for MIPS (contributed by Karl Vogel).
  70   - Support for PT_NOTE segment parsing (contributed by Alex Deymo).
  71   - Support for parsing symbol table in dynamic segment
  72     (contributed by Nam T. Nguyen).
  73
  74 + Version 0.22 (2014.03.30)
  75
  76   - pyelftools repository moved to https://github.com/eliben/pyelftools
  77   - Support for version sections - contributed by Yann Rouillard.
  78   - Better ARM support (including AArch64) - contributed by Dobromir Stefanov.
  79   - Added some initial support for parsing Solaris OpenCSW ELF files
  80     (contributed by Yann Rouillard).
  81   - Added some initial support for DWARF4 (as generated by gcc 4.8)
  82     and DWARF generated by recent versions of Clang (3.3).
  83   - Added the get_full_path utility method to DIEs that have an associated
  84     file name / path (based on pull request #16 by Shaheed Haque).
  85   - Set up Travis CI integration.
  86
  87 + Version 0.21 (2013.04.17)
  88
  89   - Added new example: dwarf_decode_address - decode function name and
  90     file & line information from an address.
  91   - Issue #7: parsing incorrect DWARF was made a bit more forgiving for cases
  92     where serialized DIE trees have extra NULLs at the end.
  93   - Very initial support for ARM ELF files (Matthew Fernandez - pull
  94     request #6).
  95   - Support for dumping the dynamic section (Mike Frysinger - pull
  96     request #7).

 105     on Windows.
