Hi,

Version 2.0.0 of minicoredumper has been released. This version has been
submitted for inclusion in the next Debian release (stretch). It will
also be submitted to openembedded.org.

Be aware that significant API changes were made for this
release. Applications based on libminicoredumper will be required to
modify their code in order to work with version 2.0.0.

>From the release notes:

2.0.0 (2016-11-30)

    * Relicense public domain files as BSD-2-clause.

    * Replace libjson.a with libjson-c.

    * Improve autotool usage to provide a complete installation.

    * Add support for finding symbols in stripped binaries.

    * Relocate administration binaries to sbin directory.

    * API function arguments rearranged for a more intuitive ordering.

    * Add "ident" option to buffers for external dumps.

    * Remove minicoredumper_regd and all D-Bus and inotify functionality.
      This has been replaced by the minicoredumper_regd service.

    * Add minicoredumper_regd service to track libminicoredumper-based
      application registrations.

    * Dumps now stored in PID subdirectories.

    * coreinject updates custom ELF section in core file.

    * Add support for custom data injecting with coreinject.

    * Add MCD_DATA_NODUMP option for binary dumps.

    * Use pkg-config to check for libelf.

    * Add compile-time checks for API format arguments.

    * Change text dump API to match scanf() syntax.

    * Fix printing of "%%" in text dump strings.

    * For sparseness, rely on shared memory rather than filesystems.

    * Fix possible trailing data in tar file.

    * Add custom ELF section to core file that lists the dumps.

    * Fix dumping when dump occupies multiple VMA's.

    * Known problems:

        - broken for 32-bit applications using more than 2GB memory

        - unable to dump libraries if they are linked using relative
          paths
