PR 4899 * tapsets.cxx (dwflpp::has_single_line_record): Extended, abstraction violated. (iterate_over_srcfile_lines): Remove exactly line number match logic. Improve error message to offered better-checked alternative line numbers. (query_srcfile_line): Whoops, pass scope_die down for statement("...") probes, to enable $target var processing. 2007-08-24 Frank Ch. Eigler <fche@redhat.com> PR 4899 * buildok/fortytwo.stp: New test.

* What's new since version 0.5.15?
- New security model. To install a systemtap kernel module, a user
-must be one of the following: the root user; a member of the 'stapdev'
-group; or a member of the 'stapusr' group. Members of the stapusr group can
-only use modules located in the /lib/modules/VERSION/systemtap
-directory (where VERSION is the output of "uname -r").
+ must be one of the following: the root user; a member of the

+- .statement("...@file:line") probes now apply heuristics to allow an
+ approximate match for the line number. This works similarly to gdb,
+ where a breakpoint placed on an empty source line is automatically
+ moved to the next statement. A silly bug that made many $target
+ variables inaccessible to .statement() probes was also fixed.
