Version 2.4.0

• Document and validate the ability to use exe/DWARF2+ files, which are produced by MinGW gcc.
  In practice support for these files has always existed because the object crate transparently supports getting sections from exe files.
• Allow greater control over the a2l update process
  • The option --update can now take an argument FULL or ADDRESSES (if the argument is not provided it defaults to FULL)
    Mode FULL updates addresses, datatypes, upper and lower limits, etc. It is a comprehensive update of all information in the a2l file.
    The mode ADDRESSES only updates the addresses, leaving everything else untouched.
  • The option --upate-preserve has been removed. Instead there is not --update-mode, which works in combination with --update
    Update mode STRICT verifies all information in the al2 file. If anything other than the addresses would be modified, then a2lfile reports an error.
    Update mode PRESERVE PRESERVE behaves like --update-preserve, and keeps unknown objects.
    Update mode DEFAULT (or omitting the option entirely) allows incorrect information, and discards invalid blocks.
• Upgrade to a2lfile 2.3.2
  • Bugfix: Escape codes \r, \n and \t in quoted strings were not handled correctly while writing files
• Bugfix: support the case where a compiler omits type information after the volatile tag for "volatile void*"
