Release History

0.16.2 (Yet to be released)

The release combines the 0.15.1 through 0.15.4 backports with 0.16.1.

  • Code quality and infra changes just like 0.15.{1,2}
  • Update to a later glibc elf.h, just like 0.15.4

0.16.1 (October 28, 2022)

This release only fixes the incorrect reported version by the 0.16.0 release.

0.16.0 (October 27, 2022)

Changes from 0.15.3:

  • Add --print-os-abi and --set-os-abi options by @dmsck in #381
  • Sync .note.gnu.property to PT_GNU_PROPERTY by @Bo98 in #414
  • Rework file shifting to avoid sections crossing multiple segments by @Bo98 in #415

(These notes are the remainder of 0.16.0 that was not backported to 0.15.3. Originally, 0.16.0 was branched from 0.15.0, and those changes were fresh in this release, having never been backported.)

0.15.5 (August 12, 2025)

Bugfix backports from 0.18.0:

  • Adjust roundUp for 0 as input by @cgzones in #466

Bugfix backports from 0.17.{0, 1}:

  • Fix page size constants for Itanium and SPARC.
  • Fix Out-of-bounds read in the function modifySoname by @yairKoskas in #451

0.15.4 (August 12, 2025)

  • Update to a later glibc elf.h.

    This should not result in any behavioral changes, except for possibly better architecture-specific support.

0.15.3 (August 12, 2025)

This is a backport release made from the simplest fixes from 0.16.0.

  • Handle glibc-hwcaps on ppc64le on CentOS/RHEL/Rocky 8 for tests/replace-add-needed.sh (fixes #406) by @robert-scheck in #407
  • Fix Out-of-bounds read in the function modifyRPath by @xiaoxiaoafeifei in #419
  • Fix out of bounds access when increasing program header table by @Bo98 in #411

0.15.2 (August 12, 2025)

  • In the autotools build system for the tests, pass a few more tool env vars in TESTS_ENVIRONMENT.

    Some of them are not used yet (at all, or at least not in this backport to the 0.15-maintenance branch), but at least STRIP is.

0.15.1 (August 12, 2025)

The objective is to prepare a very conservative patch release which can be bumped in Nixpkgs immediately.

  • Backport infra changes from later master (August 2025)
  • Backport shellcheck fixes to test suite
  • Backport C++ code quality fixes (all of #464 but the final two commits)

The behavior of this version should be essentially the same as 0.15.0.

0.15.0 (July 16, 2022)

  • Add --add-debug option by @deadw00d in #367
  • Add O_BINARY flag when opening files to allow compilation for Windows by @JagoGyselinck in #372
  • Document --print-needed by @klemensn in #375
  • modifyRPath: return early if new and old rpath are empty by @ehmry in #376
  • Add comment explaining calculation for DT_MIPS_RLD_MAP_REL by @amjoseph-nixpkgs in #379
  • Add --no-sort option by @amjoseph-nixpkgs in #378
  • Handle DT_MIPS_XHASH and .MIPS.xhash by @amjoseph-nixpkgs in #380

0.14.5 (February 21, 2022)

  • fix faulty version in 0.14.4

0.14.4 (February 21, 2022)

  • Several test fixes to fix patchelf test suite on openbsd by @klemensn
  • Allow multiple modifications in same call by @fzakaria in #361
  • Add support to build with musl by @fzakaria in #362
  • Fix typo: s/folllow/follow/ by @bjornfor in #366
  • mips: fix incorrect polarity on dyn_offset; closes #364 by @a-m-joseph in #365

    https://github.com/NixOS/patchelf/commits/0.9

    This release has contributions from Aaron D. Marasco, Adrien Devresse, Alexandre Pretyman, Changli Gao, Chingis Dugarzhapov, darealshinji, David Sveningsson, Eelco Dolstra, Felipe Sateler, Jeremy Sanders, Jonas Kuemmerlin, Thomas Tuegel, Tuomas Tynkkynen, Vincent Danjean and Vladimír Čunát.

0.8 (January 15, 2014)

  • Fix a segfault caused by certain illegal entries in symbol tables.

0.7 (January 7, 2014)

  • Rewrite section indices in symbol tables. This for instance allows gdb to show proper backtraces.

  • Added --remove-needed option.

0.6 (November 7, 2011)

  • Support segments with an alignment of 0 (contributed by Zack Weinberg).

If only DT_RPATH is present, it is converted to DT_RUNPATH unless --force-rpath is specified. If neither is present, a DT_RUNPATH is added unless --force-rpath is specified, in which case a DT_RPATH is added.
