Things I am working on that I hope will make it before the release:

- Make a decision about elf_memory:
https://inbox.sourceware.org/elfutils-devel/20240829134757.GC4864@gnu.wildebeest.org/

- Fix a elf_compress issue I found with debugedit:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32102

- Get the last MIPS pieces in:

The issue here is how to handle the first patch which rewrites the
r_info field to make GELF_R_SYM and GELF_R_TYPE work. MIPS uses a
different layout than other arches, so it doesn't really fit the endian
based conversion mechanism we are currently using.

- Review your documentation patches v2

- Review other pending patches like the just posted Openwrt
  compat patches.

Cheers,

Mark
