[Mark Wielaard <mjw at redhat dot com>]

A new release of elfutils is available now at:
https://fedorahosted.org/releases/e/l/elfutils/0.159/

* NEWS *

Version 0.159

stack: New option -d, --debugname to lookup DWARF debuginfo name for
       frame. New option -i, --inlines to show inlined frames using
       DWARF debuginfo.

libdwelf: New libdwelf.h header for libdw.so DWARF ELF Low-level
          Functions. New function dwelf_elf_gnu_debuglink,
          dwelf_dwarf_gnu_debugaltlink, and dwelf_elf_gnu_build_id.

libdw: Support for DWZ multifile forms DW_FORM_GNU_ref_alt and
       DW_FORM_GNU_strp_alt is now enabled by default and no longer
       experimental. Added new functions dwarf_getalt and dwarf_setalt
       to get or set the alternative debug file used for the alt FORMs.
       The dwfl_linux_proc_find_elf callback will now find ELF from
       process memory for (deleted) files if the Dwfl has process state
       attached.

libdwfl: The dwfl_build_id_find_debuginfo and
         dwfl_standard_find_debuginfo functions will now try to resolve
         and set the alternative debug file.

backends: Add CFI unwinding for arm. Relies on .debug_frame.
          Add arm process initial register state compatible mode to
          aarch64. Add aarch64 native and core unwind support.

other: All separate elfutils-robustify patches have been merged.
       CVE-2014-0172 Check overflow before calling malloc to uncompress
       data.
