+
++ Version 0.24 (2016.08.04)
+
+ - Retrieve symbols by name - get_symbol_by_name (#58).

+ - Made dwarf_decode_address example a bit more useful for command-line
+ invocation.
+ - More DWARF v4 support w.r.t decoding function ranges; DW_AT_high_pc value
+ is now either absolute or relative to DW_AT_low_pc, depending on the class
+ of the form encoded in the file. Also #89.

+
+ - Minimal Python 2.x version raised to 2.7
+ - Basic support for MIPS (contributed by Karl Vogel).
+ - Support for PT_NOTE segment parsing (contributed by Alex Deymo).
+ - Support for parsing symbol table in dynamic segment
+ (contributed by Nam T. Nguyen).
+
++ Version 0.22 (2014.03.30)
+
+ - pyelftools repository moved to https://github.com/eliben/pyelftools
+ - Support for version sections - contributed by Yann Rouillard.
+ - Better ARM support (including AArch64) - contributed by Dobromir Stefanov.
+ - Added some initial support for parsing Solaris OpenCSW ELF files
+ (contributed by Yann Rouillard).
+ - Added some initial support for DWARF4 (as generated by gcc 4.8)
+ and DWARF generated by recent versions of Clang (3.3).
+ - Added the get_full_path utility method to DIEs that have an associated
+ file name / path (based on pull request #16 by Shaheed Haque).
+ - Set up Travis CI integration.
+
++ Version 0.21 (2013.04.17)
- Added new example: dwarf_decode_address - decode function name and
file & line information from an address.
- Issue #7: parsing incorrect DWARF was made a bit more forgiving for cases
where serialized DIE trees have extra NULLs at the end.
+ - Very initial support for ARM ELF files (Matthew Fernandez - pull
+ request #6).
+ - Support for dumping the dynamic section (Mike Frysinger - pull
+ request #7).
+ - Output of scripts/readelf.py now matches that of binutils 2.23.52.
+ - Added more machine EM_ values to ENUM_E_TYPE.
