- Turn on native-unwinder for aarch64
- Generate problem reports for SIGSYS
- Clean cache if more space is needed
- Port retrace-client to libsoup
- Port applet to GApplication/GNotification
- ShellCheck fixes
- Architecture of python[2,3]-abrt-addon packages was changed to noarch.
- Restarting abrtd daemon forces abrt-dbus to reload configuration files.
- Fixed issue with local backtrace generation.
- Fixed bug that caused daemon to consume 100% of CPU core.
- Fixed issue with abrt not resolving a hostname in coredump filenames.
- Requirements on Python 2
- Dependency on nss-pem
- Added saving of container cmdline.
- Added saving mountinfo from journal.
- Added processing of unpackaged executables.
- Added blacklist for suspicious kernel oops messages to filter out false positives.
- Added descriptions for taint flags of kernel oopses.
- Added default action for notifications. Clicking on a notification now opens 'gnome-abrt' with the detected problem.
- Translation updates.
- 'abrt-addon-python' and 'abrt-addon-python3' now provide more information about where the exception happened.
- Added creation of new element 'mce' for oopses, where it's possible values are 'fatal' or 'non-fatal' and check to restrict reporting of MCEs.
- Start saving cpuinfo in problem directories.
- Introduce migration to abrt-journal-core.
- Improve fatal MCE check when dumping backtrace. Problem was, that regular kernel panic message was treated as fatal MCE, for which we don't want to have backtrace.
- Translation updates.
- Python 3.6 invalid escape sequence deprecation fix and some spelling fixes.
- 'abrt-ccpp.service' is not enabled by default. 'abrt-abrt-journal-core.service' is enablen instead. ABRT gets coredumps from systemd journal.
- Modify suspicious kernel string "invalid opcode:" because "invalid opcode:" can also be without colon.
- The EVENTs generating machine-id and executing sosreport are now delivered as standalone plugins.
- Remove dependency on hawkey. Function hy_split_nevra of obsolete hawkey library replaced by own implementation, as hawkey will be removed soon.
- Fix calling of 'run_event_on_problem_dir'. The function is imported as a solo identifier from the report module.
- Fix scratch-build targe. Prefix "dist-" in no longer used in koji build target.
- Start reporting the detected problems to systemd-journal in the form of catalogue messages that contains essential problem details. The messages are reported with SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER=abrt-notification and are mainly designated for developers and administrator.
- Start capturing /proc/[pid]/ns details and some other interesting process details for uncaught Python, Ruby and Java exceptions in the problem data.
- Run the core dump time backtrace generator under the user of the crashed process and not under root. This change makes ABRT more secure to deploy as ABRT no longer runs elfutils functions in superuser context.
- Set up the yum/dnf debuginfo repositories according to /etc/os-release captured in the problem details, so it is possible to analyze core dump files of processes running in a container or a changed root environment.
- Save core dump files to disk using low level kernel functions to make the dumping a little bit faster.
- Start limiting the dumped core file size and set the default limit to 5GiB. The limit can be changed through the MaxCoreFileSize configuration option in the /etc/abrt/plugins/CCpp.conf file.
- Give the Kernel vmcore plugin the ability to parse the kdump.conf file at any location, so the plugin can be used from a container.
- Move the look for Bodhi updates including know Bugzilla bugs to a solo event to allow users of non-Fedora distributions to run the core dump analysis tools without error messages about unavailability of Bodhi.
- Start notifying all detected problems and not only those that are related to a package.
- Update the list of known interpreters with python3.6.
- Ensure that the reporting will not be terminated with the 'the problem cannot be reported' error message when a user passes the '--unsafe' argument on command line.
- Start considering child processes of the processes that run binaries with the path prefix '/usr/libexec/docker' containerized by Docker.
- Correct a typo in a name of a variable causing the absence of DSO list (Dynamic Shared Objec list) in the captured problem details.
- Enable usage of the problem Python API in GObject projects by proper includes from gi.repository.
- Make sure all users can run
abrt reporton their problems and the process does not exit with file access permission error. - Fix the bugs preventing users from passing their preferred format of problem
data to
abrt list --fmtandabrt info --fmt. - Fix several file descriptor leaks in abrtd.
