   ================================

We are pleased to announce a major new release of Dyninst and its
component tool kits. This release includes some major new features
(e.g., parallel binary code analysis, more ARM/64 support, Power 8
and 9 support) and major improvement in our build system.

In addition, we've made a lot of code analysis improvement, performance
improvements, internal code clean ups, and bug fixes.

NEW FEATURES:

- Parallel binary code analysis (ParseAPI):
    - Parallel code parsing, significantly improving the speed of the
      analysis of large binaries
    - Parallel query to ParseAPI
    - Improve multiple aspects of parsing, including non-returning
      functions, tail call identification, jump table analysis

- First official release of dyninstAPI for ARMv8, with partial support
  of dynamic instrumentation. Please see
  https://github.com/dyninst/dyninst/wiki/DyninstAPI-ARMv8-status for details.

- Improving support for Power 8 & 9 instrumentation and new vector
  instruction decoding

- Limited CUDA support: read-only queries of SymtabAPI

- Updated Spack receipt for installing Dyninst

SOFTWARE DEPENDENCY CHANGES:

- Adds dependency on libdw and removes dependency on libdwarf

- Adds dependency on Intel Threading Building Blocks (TBB)

- Adds optional dependency on OpenMP for parallel code analysis

BUG FIXES

- x86/64 decoding Issues, including adding support for vector instructions
  and wrong operand sizes

- Fix compilation issues on Arch Linux

- Cross-architecture binary analysis: try/catch blocks 

- Improve DWARF parsing: fix dwarf symbol frame and elf section parsing

- Improve CMake build systems: automatically downloading correct versions
  of Boost, TBB, and elfutils

- Fix inferior RPC on ARMv8

- Updated CMake build system for automatically downloading Dyninst
  dependencies and support parallel compilation
