v16.3-static

Changes:

• Updated gdb to v16.3
• Use musl-based compilers. This should make the gdb & gdbserver binaries compatible across different distributions.
• Add compressed debug sections support. This is used commonly in android. Thanks you @sabae-valve !
• Add python-ctypes support (via libffi)
• Added the needed python-modules for GEF to work.

Release artifacts are divided into 2 types:

• Slim releases contain all of the base features (aside the ones mentioned below).
• Full releases also contain python & cross-architecture debugging support.
  Please note that full release binaries are bigger (hence the split).

v16.2-static

Changes:

• Updated gdb to v16.2
• Fixed gdb pretty printers & auto-load default path configuration

NOTE: Since statically linking against python makes the binaries considerably larger, we have decided to split the gdb-static binaries into 2 variants, one with python support, and a compact version without python support.

v15.2-static-4

This version is a hotfix for the previous one.

• Fixed: python support (baked into the gdb binary).
• Fixed: source syntax highlighting via pygments (baked into the gdb binary).

NOTE: Since statically linking against python makes the binaries considerably larger, we have decided to split the gdb-static binaries into 2 variants, one with python support, and a compact version without python support.

v15.2-static-3

Changes:

• Added libexpat support (used for xml based gdb commands such as info os files).
• Added python support (baked into the gdb binary).
• Added source syntax highlighting via pygments (baked into the gdb binary).

NOTE: It has come to our attention that the source highlighting and python support are not working properly. We found the problem, and a new release will be available soon! I do not recommend using this tag for now.
