Dynamic Probes v3.6 is released.
Dynamic Probes is a generic and pervasive debugging facility that will operate under the most extreme software conditions such as debugging a deep rooted operating system problem in a live environment.
Highlights of v3.6 include a new DProbes C Compiler that allows you to write probe programs in a C-like language and integrated support for S/390 platform. Avaiblabe at the project website:

Changelog: - New with this version is the DProbes High Level Language compiler dpcc which enables you to write RPN probe programs in a C-like language. Checkout dpcc/ dir in the tarball for details. - DProbes for s390 integrated into this package - new patches/ directory containing all the kernel patches. - kernel patch is split into multiple files. We now have a patch with all arch-independent mods in a core patch, along with a patch for each architecture (currently i386 and s390). You need to apply the core patch first and then the arch-specific patch for your architecture. - Make RPN IO instruction related code i386-specific as s390 does not implement io*(). - Up JMP_MAX to 65535, dpcc needs this. - Sync up kernel hooks code with version 1.6. - Documentation updates to for s/390 arch.
