The 40.52 release of MuGuardianAngel added support for SegTracker v47
and is thus able to print symbol and line number information in faulty
binaries if such information is present, and SegTracker was instructed
to load them. The latest SegTracker version is included as contribution.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 40.51 release of MuGuardianAngel only fixes a tiny bug that was
detected by Alexander Benedictov, namely that MuGA failed to check
on exit whether AllocAbs() was patched over. This release adds the
missing check. Thanks, Sascha!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This version is a re-release of the version Christian Sauer fixed. It
merges all developments back into the main branch, but does not include
further functionalities.

MuGuardianAngel is a mmu.library aware debugging tool that works very much
like the original "Guardian Angel". It access-protects non-allocated
memory blocks by the MMU to detect even more illegal pointer usage. It
will also provide all "MungWall" and "WipeOut" features, including
memory pool watches, periodic memory consistency checks and disassembler
output. MuGuardianAngel requires "MuForce" to be up and running, which is
included in this archive.
MuForce is based on the Enforcer © 1992-1998 Mike Sinz, check

This tool is part of the MMULib distribution. To find out more about the
mmu.library and its goals, download util/libs/MMULib.lha.

Quick installation notes:
There are no quick installation notes. This tool requires some care, as
much more software and firmware is broken that I though. Check the MMU.guide
and the MuGuardianAngel guide for how to install it, and how to install
Software fixes.
