# v0.8.2
Fixed:
- Fixed printing of internal error messages when an object file can't be loaded, mainly affecting MacOS https://github.com/jeremy-rifkin/cpptrace/issues/217
Other:
- Bumped zstd via FetchContent to 1.5.7
# v0.8.1
Fixed:
- Fixed compile error on msvc https://github.com/jeremy-rifkin/cpptrace/issues/215
Added:
- Added `cpptrace::can_get_safe_object_frame()`
Breaking changes:
- Renamed ctrace's `can_signal_safe_unwind` to `ctrace_can_signal_safe_unwind`. This was an oversight. Apologies for
including a breaking change in a patch release. Github code search suggests this API isn't used in public code, at
least.
Other:
- Added CI workflow to test on old msvc
- Made some internal improvements on robustness and cleanliness
# v0.8.0
Added:
- Added support for resolving symbols from elf and mach-o symbol tables, allowing function names to be resolved even in
a build that doesn't include debug information https://github.com/jeremy-rifkin/cpptrace/issues/201
- Added a configurable stack trace formatter https://github.com/jeremy-rifkin/cpptrace/issues/164
- Added configuration options for the libdwarf back-end that can be used to lower memory usage on memory-constrained
systems https://github.com/jeremy-rifkin/cpptrace/issues/193
- Added `cpptrace::nullable<T>::null_value`
- Made `cpptrace::nullable<T>` member functions conditionally `constexpr` where possible
Fixed:
- Fixed handling of `SymInitialize` when other code has already called `SymInitialize`. `SymInitialize` must only be
called once per handle and cpptrace now attempts to duplicate the current process handle to avoid conflicts.
https://github.com/jeremy-rifkin/cpptrace/issues/204
- Fixed a couple of locking edge cases surrounding dbghelp functions
- Fixed improper deallocation of `dwarf_errmsg` in the libdwarf back-end
Breaking changes:
- `cpptrace::get_snippet` previously included a newline at the end but it now does not. This also affects the behavior
of trace formatting with snippets enabled.
Other:
- Significantly improved memory usage and performance of the libdwarf back-end
- Improved implementation and organization of internal utility types, such as `optional` and `Result`
- Improved trace printing and formatting implementation
- Added unit tests for library internal utilities
- Added logic to the cxxabi demangler to ensure external names begin with `_Z` or `__Z` before attempting to demangle
- Added various internal tools and abstractions to improve maintainability and clarity
- Various internal improvements for robustness
- Added a small handful of utility tool programs that are useful for continued development, maintenance, and debugging
- Improved library CI setup
- Marked the `CPPTRACE_BUILD_BENCHMARK` option as advanced
# v0.7.5

- Set C++ standard for cmake support checks https://github.com/jeremy-rifkin/cpptrace/issues/200
- Changed hyphens to underscores for cmake component names due to cpack issue https://github.com/jeremy-rifkin/cpptrace/issues/203
# v0.7.4
