Hi, I'm pleased to announce the release of makedumpfile 1.7.0. Thank you everyone for your help to maintain the tool. Download: The latest makedumpfile can be downloaded from the following URL. https://github.com/makedumpfile/makedumpfile/releases New features: - Zstandard (zstd) compression support - New -L option to limit output file size - Support of kernels up to v5.15 (x86_64) Special thanks to Philipp Rudo, who has been working on hardening makedumpfile. This release contains a part of the work, such as buffer overflow fix, removal of strcpy() and etc. We will continue to do this also for the next release. Note that due to some reasons the work has been done internally, please check out the commits if you have interest.
