<br>
Hello all,<br>
I'm glad to announce that we switched our symbol scrapers for
Linux<br>
distributions to our new and improved Rust-based tooling [1]. This
means<br>
that when looking at crash reports or profiling you will not find
stack<br>
traces with missing or omitted function names anymore.<br>
<br>
If you're tracking Linux crashes this might cause signature
changes<br>
starting with release version 83; the new signatures should be<br>
significantly improved.<br>
<br>
The impact of this change will be more visible to users on Fedora
and<br>
OpenSUSE.<br>
<br>
Gabriele<br>
