All releases of libelf


Release Notes: A new function, elf_getaroff(), was added to maintain compatibility with other implementations. A few build fixes were made.


Release Notes: Due to some unfortunate confusion, the elf_getphnum(), elf_getshnum(), and elf_getshstrndx() are not compatible between libelf implementations. Therefore, the developers jointly decided to replace them with new functions: elf_getphdrnum(), elf_getshdrnum(), and elf_getshdrstrndx(), which will always return -1 on failure and 0 on success. Code using the old interface should be upgraded to increase portability.


Release Notes: This release fixes a bug in elf_rawfile().


Release Notes: Users are now able to turn off select sanity checks that are not compatible with other versions of libelf.


Release Notes: The data translator can now handle versioning sections with inconsistent data (as found on Solaris). Windows DLLs should work now as well.


Release Notes: This release fixes a brown paper bag bug that made 0.8.7 unusable. Besides that, elf_getphnum(), elf_getshnum(), and elf_getshstrndx() are now compatible with OpenSolaris. They are not compatible with Red Hat's elfutils, however, but it was a choice between one or the other.


Release Notes: New convenience functions: elfx_get_shnum (aka elf_getshnum, for compatibility with elfutils), elfx_get_shstrndx (aka elf_getshstrndx), and elfx_update_shstrndx. Some minor bugfixes.


Release Notes: This release fixeed an alignment problem caused by archive members on some architectures. Limited Win32 support was implemented.


Release Notes: elf_strptr() should now work more safely with fragmented or badly formatted string tables. A bug in elf_update() that was introduced in 0.8.3 has been fixed.


Release Notes: Minor bugfixes were made. The shared library is now built by default, and the --{en,dis}able-compat switch now works.
