[ANNOUNCE] makedumpfile 1.7.1

[HAGIO KAZUHITO =?unknown-8bit?b?6JCp5bC+IOS4gOS7gQ==?=]

Hi,

I'm pleased to announce the release of makedumpfile 1.7.1.
Thank you everyone for your help to maintain this tool.

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

New features:
- Cycle detection for printk log_buf
- A lot of code hardening
- Support kernels up to v5.17 (x86_64)

Special thanks to Philipp Rudo (again), who has worked on hardening
makedumpfile.  This release contains the remainder of the work,
mainly removal of variable-length arrays.

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.

Hi Hagio,

I maintain the package in Arch Linux and noticed that you are signing 
the git tag but not the commit message. Would you be able to sign both 
next time so I can switch to validate the source using your public key? 
Arch Linux packaging tool (pacman) supports this natively and it would 
help maintain the chain of trust. It would also be useful to mention 
your public key in the README (along with other's PGP keys who might be 
tagging releases)

Cheers,
