   3 Changes in 2.37:
   4
   5 * New features
   6
   7 ** Add ctf_lookup_by_symbol name and ctf_arc_lookup_symbol_name, analogues of
   8    existing ctf_lookup_by_symbol and ctf_arc_lookup_symbol, but looking up
   9    symbols by name rather than symbol number.  This also works in places where no
  10    symbol number is known, like in object files and dynamic dicts created by
  11    ctf_create.
  12
  13 ** libctf supports compilers that encode unrepresentable types via a special
  14    kind (CTF_K_UNKNOWN) as well as via type ID 0.
  15
  16 * Bugfixes
  17
  18 ** Avoid duplicating or losing types of data object symbols when
  19    ld -r is used
  20
  21 ** Prohibit typedefs with no name; prevent the linker/deduplicator
  22    producing such typedefs
  23
  24 * Bugfixes, also on 2.36 branch
  25
  26 ** Prevent ctf_lookup_by_name returning success when
  27    looking up nonexistent pointer types
  28
  29 ** Fix ctf_type_add copying of structs with unnamed members
