* Drop the CVE-2024-53589 patch, its included in 2.44
* Package newly rename gp-* to gprofng-* binaries and remove old gp-*
symlinks
* Gold linker is now deprecated and will be removed in future release
its already deleted in tarball releases
* Support for the Nios II target has been removed.
* Assembler:
- Support for new architecture extensions for AArch64, Risc-V and
x86.
* Linker:
The default maximum page size was changed from 16KiB to 64KiB for
LoongArch.
This now supports mixed LTO and non-LTO object files in
relocatable output.
The ELF forms of the linker support a --image-base=<ADDR> option
for compatibility with LLD.
The --build-id= option now accepts an argument of "xx" which
enables the use of the xxhash library. This produces a 128-bit
hash and is 2-4x faster than md5 or sha1.
The ELF linker option --package-metadata supports percent-encoded
and %[string] encoded JSON payloads.
* Disassembler:
The RISC-V disassembler now supports -M,max option like QEMU to
dump instruction without checking architecture support as usual.
* GprofNG:
Support added for hardware event counters for Neoverse-N1,
Ampere-1, and Appliedmicro processors.
