0.7.4 - 2023-11-22
- Fix note parsing for notes with n_namesz == (align * x + 1)
0.7.3 - 2023-10-09
- Derive Debug on LittleEndian and BigEndian
- Enable #![forbid(unsafe_code)]
- Enable #![deny(missing_debug_implementations)]
- Enable #![warn(rust_2018_idioms)]
- Fix doc comment on file::Class
- Fix README example so it compiles
0.7.2 - 2023-02-15
- Implement core::error::Error for ParsingError accessible via a new non-default "nightly" cargo feature
- Add abi constants for note descriptor types (n_type)
- Add C-style struct definitions for various abi structs (Elf[32|64]_Ehdr etc). These aren't used by the parser, but are useful definitions for folks wanting to manually muck with elf bytes.
- Fix an 'attempt to shift right with overflow' panic in the GnuHashTable if nshift is wider than the bloom filter word size
- Add doc comments for EM_* abi constants
- Tweak formatting and update language for various doc comments

- Make ELF structures generic across the new endian-aware integer parsing trait EndianParse
- Refactor parsed Note type to be a typed enum
- Rename ElfStream::dynamic_section() -> dynamic() to match ElfBytes
- Change ElfStream::dynamic() to yield a DynamicTable just like in ElfBytes
- Standardize ElfBytes' interfaces for the .dynamic contents to return a DynamicTable

- Refactor section_headers_with_strtab to work with files that have shdrs but no shstrtab
- Remove redundant hash arg from SysVHashTable.find()
- Expose Class in the public interface alongside FileHeader
- Remove opinionated Display impl for file::Class
- Remove section_data_as_symbol_table() from public ElfBytes interface
- Change SymbolVersionTable::new() to take Options instead of Default-empty iterators
- Change ElfStream to parse out the ProgramHeaders into an allocated vec as part of ElfStream::open_stream()
- Change ElfStream to parse out the SectionHeaders into an allocated Vec as part of ElfStream::open_stream()
- Properly parse program header table when ehdr.e_phnum > 0xffff
- Fix OOM in ElfStream parsing when parsing corrupted files
- Fix a divide by zero panic in SysVHashTable.find() for empty tables
- Add more fuzz testing
- Add some simple parsing smoke tests for the various sample architecture objects
- Add sample object and testing with > 0xff00 section headers
- Add a lot more doc comments to each of the modules
0.6.1 - 2022-11-05
- Expose Class and Endian in the public interface. These types are exposed in the FileHeader type and so they should also be accessible for users to inspect.
0.6.0 - 2022-11-01
- Add fuzz targets for parts of our ELF parsing interface via cargo-fuzz
- Add SysVHashTable which interprets the contents of a SHT_HASH section
- Add StringTable::get_raw() to get an uninterpreted &[u8]
- Add ParsingTable.len() method to get the number of elements in the table
- Add some note n_type constants for GNU extension notes.
- Add default "to_str" feature to get &str for gabi constant names
- Change File::segments() to return a ParsingTable instead of just a ParsingIterator
- Change File's SectionHeader interfaces to provide a ParsingTable instead of just a ParsingIterator
- Remove deprecated File::section_data_for_header() in favor of File::section_data()
- Remove FileHeader wrapper types OSABI, Architecture, and ObjectFileType
- Remove ProgramHeader wrapper types ProgType and ProgFlag
- Remove Symbol wrapper types SymbolType SymbolBind SymbolVis
- Remove wrapper type SectionType
- Remove unhelpful SectionFlag wrapper type
- Remove Display impl for FileHeader, SectionHeader, ProgramHeader, Symbol
- Remove ParseError::UnsupportedElfVersion in favor of more general ParseError::UnsupportedVersion
- Fix divide by zero panic when parsing a note with alignment of 0 (Error instead of panic)
- Use checked integer math all over the parsing code (Error instead of panic or overflow)
- Fix note parsing for 8-byte aligned .note.gnu.property sections (Successfully parse instead of Erroring)
- Add size validation when parsing tables with entsizes (Error instead of panic)
0.5.0 - 2022-10-30
- Add File::symbol_version_table() interface to get the GNU extension symbol versioning table
- Add Symbol.is_undefined() helper to check if a symbol is defined in this object
- Add File::section_data() which opportunistically parses the CompressionHeader if present
- Fix StringTable to return a ParseError on index out of bounds instead of panicking
- Fix File::section_data_as_rels to properly parse Rels (not Relas)
0.4.0 - 2022-10-24
- Add .note section and segment parsing
- Add .dynamic section and segment parsing
- Add .rel and .rela section parsing
- Add File::section_headers_with_strtab to get both a header iter and strtab concurrently.
- The ReadBytesAt trait was changed to be implemented for an owned CachedReadBytes. This means that File::open_stream now expects to move-own the CachedReadBytes as opposed to taking a mutable reference.
0.3.1 - 2022-10-21
- Add File::section_data_for_header() to get raw section data for a given section
- Fix section header table parsing when ehdr.e_shnum > 0xff00
0.3.0 - 2022-10-20
- Add a
no_std
option by fully moving the parser over to lazy zero-alloc parsing patterns.
