   2 =========
   3
   4 + Version 0.25 (2018.09.01)
   5
   6   - Make parsing of SH_TYPE and PT_TYPE fields dependent on the machine
   7     (e_machine header field), making it possible to support conflicting type
   8     enums between different machines (#71 and #121).
   9   - Add parsing and readelf dumping for .eh_frame (#155)
  10   - Support compressed sections (#152)
  11   - Better support for parsing core dumps (#147)
  12   - More comprehensive handling of ARM relocations (#121)
  13   - Convert all ascii encoding to utf-8 encoding (#182)
  14   - Don't attempt to hex/string dump SHT_NOBITS sections in readelf (#119).
  15   - Test with Python 3.6
  16   - Minor bugfixes (#118)
  17   - Cleanup: Use argparse instead of optparse
  18   - Make readelf comparison tests run in parallel using multiprocessing; cuts
  19     testing time 3-5x
  20   - Improvements in MIPS flags handling (#165)
  21
  22 + Version 0.24 (2016.08.04)
  23
  24   - Retrieve symbols by name - get_symbol_by_name (#58).
  25   - Symbol/section names are strings internally now, not bytestrings (this may
  26     affect API usage in Python 3) (#76).
  27   - Added DT_MIPS_* constants to ENUM_D_TAG (#79)
  28   - Made dwarf_decode_address example a bit more useful for command-line
  29     invocation.
  30   - More DWARF v4 support w.r.t decoding function ranges; DW_AT_high_pc value
  31     is now either absolute or relative to DW_AT_low_pc, depending on the class
  32     of the form encoded in the file. Also #89.
  33   - Support for SHT_NOTE sections (#109)
  34   - Support for .debug_aranges section (#108)
  35   - Support for zlib-compressed debug sections (#102)
  36   - Support for DWARF v4 line programs (#82)
  37
  38 + Version 0.23 (2014.11.08)
  39
  40   - Minimal Python 2.x version raised to 2.7
  41   - Basic support for MIPS (contributed by Karl Vogel).
  42   - Support for PT_NOTE segment parsing (contributed by Alex Deymo).
  43   - Support for parsing symbol table in dynamic segment
  44     (contributed by Nam T. Nguyen).
  45
  46 + Version 0.22 (2014.03.30)
  47
  48   - pyelftools repository moved to https://github.com/eliben/pyelftools
  49   - Support for version sections - contributed by Yann Rouillard.
  50   - Better ARM support (including AArch64) - contributed by Dobromir Stefanov.
  51   - Added some initial support for parsing Solaris OpenCSW ELF files
  52     (contributed by Yann Rouillard).
  53   - Added some initial support for DWARF4 (as generated by gcc 4.8)
  54     and DWARF generated by recent versions of Clang (3.3).
  55   - Added the get_full_path utility method to DIEs that have an associated
  56     file name / path (based on pull request #16 by Shaheed Haque).
  57   - Set up Travis CI integration.
  58
  59 + Version 0.21 (2013.04.17)
  60
  61   - Added new example: dwarf_decode_address - decode function name and
  62     file & line information from an address.
  63   - Issue #7: parsing incorrect DWARF was made a bit more forgiving for cases
  64     where serialized DIE trees have extra NULLs at the end.
  65   - Very initial support for ARM ELF files (Matthew Fernandez - pull
  66     request #6).
  67   - Support for dumping the dynamic section (Mike Frysinger - pull
  68     request #7).
  69   - Output of scripts/readelf.py now matches that of binutils 2.23.52.
  70   - Added more machine EM_ values to ENUM_E_TYPE.
  71
  72 + Version 0.20 (2012.01.27)
  73
  74   - Python 3 support
  75   - Fixed some problems with running tests
  76   - Issue #2: made all examples run (and test/run_examples_test.py pass)
  77     on Windows.
  78
  79 + Version 0.10 - Initial public release (2012.01.06)
