[ANNOUNCE] makedumpfile 1.7.0

[HAGIO KAZUHITO(萩尾 一仁)]

Hi,

I'm pleased to announce the release of makedumpfile 1.7.0.
Thank you everyone for your help to maintain the tool.

Download:
The latest makedumpfile can be downloaded from the following URL.
  https://github.com/makedumpfile/makedumpfile/releases

New features:
- Zstandard (zstd) compression support
- New -L option to limit output file size
- Support of kernels up to v5.15 (x86_64)

Special thanks to Philipp Rudo, who has been working on hardening
makedumpfile.  This release contains a part of the work, such as
buffer overflow fix, removal of strcpy() and etc.  We will continue
to do this also for the next release.
Note that due to some reasons the work has been done internally,
please check out the commits if you have interest.

Description of makedumpfile:
The makedumpfile is a tool for creating a dumpfile from /proc/vmcore
with filtering out unnecessary pages for analysis and compressing the
remaining pages, in order to shorten the size of the dumpfile and the
time of creating it.
