Changed

• PR#169 updated the crate to edition 2024 and an MSRV of 1.85.0.
• PR#172 updated dependencies, resolving several audit failures. The MSRV was changed to 1.88.0 due to the time crate.
• PR#173 replaced the windows-sys dependency introduced in PR#168 with inline bindings.

Fixed

• PR#164 resolved #163 by avoiding reading Linux distro information on Android.

Added

• PR#168 resolved MOZ#1831094 by adding functionality for reading process and module reading for each platform minidump-writer targets.

Changed

• PR#146 changed windows::MinidumpWriter::dump_crash_context to take crash_context by reference.
• PR#155 refactored a large portion of the code.

Fixed

• PR#150 fixed undefined behavior in the Linux crash dump writing.

Added

• PR#143
  • turn many errors that are currently treated as critical (and thus prevent minidump generation) into non-critical "soft" errors
  • collect non-critical errors and serialize them into a new JSON stream in the minidump

Changed

• PR#145 updated dependencies.

Fixed

• PR#129 added checking of additions to ensure invalid memory offsets are gracefully handled.
• PR#135 resolved #134 by attempting to read the executables build id from the mapped file if it could not be retrieved from process memory.
• PR#136 changed to an older type to avoid requiring a semi-recent rust version.

Changed

• PR#118 resolved #72 by adding support for reading process memory via process_vm_readv and /proc/{pid}/mem, in addition to the original PTRACE_PEEKDATA. This gives significant performance benefits as memory can now be read in blocks of arbitrary size instead of word-by-word with ptrace.
• PR#128 and PR#133 updated the lockfile.

Fixed

• PR#127 resolved #27 by allowing programs to pass the needed auxv information, still falling back to reading /proc/{pid}/auxv to fill missing information, and being more permissive by still writing a dump if some or all of the auxv information could not be retrieved successfully rather than completely failing to write the minidump.
• PR#131 resolved #124 by reinjecting non-SIGSTOP signals after ptrace::attach so that the thread would be in the correct state after ptrace::detach.

Fixed

• PR#117 resolved #79 by enabling reading of a module's build id and soname directly from the mapped process rather than relying on file reading, though that is still used as a fallback.

Changed

• PR#126 updated minidump-common -> 0.22.

Fixed

• PR#110 changed it so that SIGCONT is sent regardless if the process was not able to be SIGSTOPed quickly enough.
• PR#113 fixed a segfault(!) on linux if it was compiled with rustc 1.77.0 in release mode.

Fixed

• PR#108 resolved #28 by sending a SIGSTOP to the process that is about to be dumped to (hopefully) increase the robustness of the dumping process by reducing the chance of errors, particularly with regard to threads. This is done as a best effort, and will perform the old behavior if the process has not stopped within a timeout (by default 100ms), which can be overriden by the user.

Changed

• PR#106 bumped minidump-common, minidump, minidump-processor, and minidump-unwind -> 0.21.

Changed

• PR#104 slightly tweaked .so version parsing in the case of more "exotic" versions such as libdbus-1.so.3.34.2rc5. Previously this was parsed as 3.34.25 but would cause ambiguity if there was ever an actual .25 patch/age in the future. Now, the last version is parsed as 1-2 numbers, ignoring non-digit characters if the last component has them. If 2 numbers are parsed, the last number is now placed in VS_FIXEDFILEINFO::product_version_lo so that it is distinct from the patch/age component placed in VS_FIXEDFILEINFO::product_version_hi.
