- New upstream release.
- DWARF5 and split dwarf, including GNU DebugFission, support.
- readelf: Handle all new DWARF5 sections.
--debug-dump=info+ will show split unit DIEs when found.
--dwarf-skeleton can be used when inspecting a .dwo file.
Recognizes GNU locviews with --debug-dump=loc.
- libdw: New functions dwarf_die_addr_die, dwarf_get_units,
dwarf_getabbrevattr_data and dwarf_cu_info.
libdw will now try to resolve the alt file on first use
when not set yet with dwarf_set_alt.
