* NEWS *

strip, unstrip: Handle ELF files with merged strtab/shstrtab tables.
                Handle missing SHF_INFO_LINK section flags.

libelf: Use int64_t for offsets in libelf.h instead of loff_t.

libdw: dwarf.h Add preliminary DWARF5 DW_LANG_Haskell.

libdwfl: dwfl_standard_find_debuginfo now searches any subdir of the
         binary path under the debuginfo root when the separate debug
         file couldn't be found by build-id.

         dwfl_linux_proc_attach can now be called before any
         Dwfl_Modules have been reported.

backends: Better sparc and sparc64 support.

translations: Updated Ukrainian translation.

Provide default-yama-scope subpackage.
