A new release of elfutils is available at:

or https://sourceware.org/elfutils/ftp/0.184/

* NEWS *

debuginfod: Use libarchive's bsdtar as the .deb-family file unpacker.

debuginfod-client: Client caches negative results. If a query for a
                   file failed with 404, an empty 000 permission
                   file is created in the cache. This will prevent
                   requesting the same file for the next 10 minutes.

                   Client objects now carry long-lived curl handles
                   for outgoing connections.  This makes it more
                   efficient for multiple sequential queries, because
                   the TCP connections and/or TLS state info are kept
                   around awhile, avoiding O(100ms) setup latencies.

libdw: handle DW_FORM_indirect when reading attributes

translations: Update Polish translation.
