This is a bug fix only release. With one important regression fix
introduced in elfutils 0.162.

elf_update could fail to reduce the file size on disk in some cases. The
result would still be a valid ELF file, but it would contain extra data
at the end of the ELF image (from the old file). This would make it seem
like eu-strip didn't work correctly since it would not have reduced the
file size, even though the debug sections would not be available
anymore.

This release also contains an updated Polish translation.

Are you working on this one? I have to build Xorg as part of my deps for gtk-doc and I generally build Elfutils as part of it.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

I was, but, please, take it.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

Thanks.

[Douglas R. Reno]

Thanks Fernando. I hope that I did not make you upset.

[Fernando de Oliveira]

Not at all.

As I said, it is a pleasure seeing that you are contributing!!!

[Douglas R. Reno]

Just getting ready to update this, as a bit of an update to my current status. I will push it to the top of my build order on my new build.
