   8   - Support for .debug_pubtypes and .debug_pubnames sections (#208)
   9   - Support for DWARF v4 location lists (#214)
  10   - Decode strings in dynamic string tables (#217)
  11   - Improve symbol table handling in dynamic segments (#219)
  12   - Improved handling of location information (#225)
  13   - Avoid deprecation warnings in Python 3.7+
  14   - Add DWARF v5 OPs (#240)
  15   - Handle many new translation forms and constants
  16   - Lazy DIE parsing to speed up partial parsing of DWARF info (#249)
  17
  18 + Version 0.25 (2018.09.01)
  19
  20   - Make parsing of SH_TYPE and PT_TYPE fields dependent on the machine
  21     (e_machine header field), making it possible to support conflicting type
  22     enums between different machines (#71 and #121).
  23   - Add parsing and readelf dumping for .eh_frame (#155)
  24   - Support compressed sections (#152)
  25   - Better support for parsing core dumps (#147)
  26   - More comprehensive handling of ARM relocations (#121)
  27   - Convert all ascii encoding to utf-8 encoding (#182)
  28   - Don't attempt to hex/string dump SHT_NOBITS sections in readelf (#119).
  29   - Test with Python 3.6
  30   - Minor bugfixes (#118)
  31   - Cleanup: Use argparse instead of optparse
  32   - Make readelf comparison tests run in parallel using multiprocessing; cuts
  33     testing time 3-5x
  34   - Improvements in MIPS flags handling (#165)
  35
  36 + Version 0.24 (2016.08.04)
  37
  38   - Retrieve symbols by name - get_symbol_by_name (#58).
  39   - Symbol/section names are strings internally now, not bytestrings (this may
  40     affect API usage in Python 3) (#76).
  41   - Added DT_MIPS_* constants to ENUM_D_TAG (#79)
  42   - Made dwarf_decode_address example a bit more useful for command-line
  43     invocation.
  44   - More DWARF v4 support w.r.t decoding function ranges; DW_AT_high_pc value
  45     is now either absolute or relative to DW_AT_low_pc, depending on the class
  46     of the form encoded in the file. Also #89.
  47   - Support for SHT_NOTE sections (#109)
  48   - Support for .debug_aranges section (#108)
  49   - Support for zlib-compressed debug sections (#102)
  50   - Support for DWARF v4 line programs (#82)
  51
  52 + Version 0.23 (2014.11.08)
  53
  54   - Minimal Python 2.x version raised to 2.7
  55   - Basic support for MIPS (contributed by Karl Vogel).
  56   - Support for PT_NOTE segment parsing (contributed by Alex Deymo).
  57   - Support for parsing symbol table in dynamic segment
  58     (contributed by Nam T. Nguyen).
  59
  60 + Version 0.22 (2014.03.30)
  61
  62   - pyelftools repository moved to https://github.com/eliben/pyelftools
  63   - Support for version sections - contributed by Yann Rouillard.
  64   - Better ARM support (including AArch64) - contributed by Dobromir Stefanov.
  65   - Added some initial support for parsing Solaris OpenCSW ELF files
  66     (contributed by Yann Rouillard).
  67   - Added some initial support for DWARF4 (as generated by gcc 4.8)
  68     and DWARF generated by recent versions of Clang (3.3).
  69   - Added the get_full_path utility method to DIEs that have an associated
  70     file name / path (based on pull request #16 by Shaheed Haque).
  71   - Set up Travis CI integration.
  72
  73 + Version 0.21 (2013.04.17)
  74
  75   - Added new example: dwarf_decode_address - decode function name and
  76     file & line information from an address.
  77   - Issue #7: parsing incorrect DWARF was made a bit more forgiving for cases
  78     where serialized DIE trees have extra NULLs at the end.
  79   - Very initial support for ARM ELF files (Matthew Fernandez - pull
  80     request #6).
  81   - Support for dumping the dynamic section (Mike Frysinger - pull
  82     request #7).
  83   - Output of scripts/readelf.py now matches that of binutils 2.23.52.
  84   - Added more machine EM_ values to ENUM_E_TYPE.
  85
  86 + Version 0.20 (2012.01.27)
  87
  88   - Python 3 support
  89   - Fixed some problems with running tests
  90   - Issue #2: made all examples run (and test/run_examples_test.py pass)
  91     on Windows.
  92
  93 + Version 0.10 - Initial public release (2012.01.06)
