Nguyen Anh Quynh | f51971d | 2014-03-05 00:09:49 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 466 | Version 2.1: March 5th, 2014 |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | 6e6ada2 | 2014-03-03 16:50:04 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 467 | |
| 468 | [ API changes ] |
| 469 | |
| 470 | - API version has been bumped to 2.1. |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | 6cfabcd | 2014-03-03 17:04:15 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 471 | - Change prototype of cs_close() to be able to invalidate closed handle. |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | 6e6ada2 | 2014-03-03 16:50:04 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 472 | See http://capstone-engine.org/version_2.1_API.html for more information. |
| 473 | - Extend cs_support() to handle more query types, not only about supported |
| 474 | architectures. This change is backward compatible, however, so existent code |
| 475 | do not need to be modified to support this. |
| 476 | - New query type CS_SUPPORT_DIET for cs_support() to ask about diet status of |
| 477 | the engine. |
| 478 | - New error code CS_ERR_DIET to report errors about newly added diet mode. |
| 479 | - New error code CS_ERR_VERSION to report issue of incompatible versions between |
| 480 | bindings & core engine. |
| 481 | |
| 482 | |
| 483 | [ Core changes ] |
| 484 | |
| 485 | - On memory usage, Capstone uses about 40% less memory, while still faster |
| 486 | than version 2.0. |
| 487 | - All architectures are much smaller: binaries size reduce at least 30%. |
| 488 | Especially, X86-only binary reduces from 1.9MB to just 720KB. |
| 489 | - Support "diet" mode, in which engine size is further reduced (by around 40%) |
| 490 | for embedding purpose. The price to pay is that we have to sacrifice some |
| 491 | non-critical data fields. See http://capstone-engine.org/diet.html for more |
| 492 | details. |
| 493 | |
| 494 | |
| 495 | [ Architectures ] |
| 496 | |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | 6cfabcd | 2014-03-03 17:04:15 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 497 | - Update all 5 architectures to fix bugs. |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | 6e6ada2 | 2014-03-03 16:50:04 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 498 | - PowerPC: |
| 499 | - New instructions: FMR & MSYNC. |
| 500 | - Mips: |
| 501 | - New instruction: DLSA |
| 502 | - X86: |
| 503 | - Properly handle AVX-512 instructions. |
| 504 | - New instructions: PSETPM, SALC, INT1, GETSEC. |
| 505 | - Fix some memory leaking issues in case of prefixed instructions such |
| 506 | as LOCK, REP, REPNE. |
| 507 | |
| 508 | |
| 509 | [ Python binding ] |
| 510 | |
| 511 | - Verify the core version at initialization time. Refuse to run if its version |
| 512 | is different from the core's version. |
| 513 | - New API disasm_lite() added to Cs class. This light API only returns tuples of |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | 6cfabcd | 2014-03-03 17:04:15 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 514 | (address, size, mnemonic, op_str), rather than list of CsInsn objects. This |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | 6e6ada2 | 2014-03-03 16:50:04 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 515 | improves performance by around 30% in some benchmarks. |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | 7fc8121 | 2014-03-04 23:56:42 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 516 | - New API version_bind() returns binding's version, which might differ from |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | b0b7308 | 2014-03-03 17:57:15 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 517 | the core's API version if the binding is out-of-date. |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | f51971d | 2014-03-05 00:09:49 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 518 | - New API debug() returns information on Cython support, diet status & archs |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | 7fc8121 | 2014-03-04 23:56:42 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 519 | compiled in. |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | 6e6ada2 | 2014-03-03 16:50:04 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 520 | - Fixed some memory leaking bugs for Cython binding. |
| 521 | - Fix a bug crashing Cython code when accessing @regs_read/regs_write/groups. |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | e6c378e | 2014-03-03 17:25:53 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 522 | - Support diet mode. |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | 6e6ada2 | 2014-03-03 16:50:04 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 523 | |
| 524 | |
| 525 | [ Java binding ] |
| 526 | |
| 527 | - Fix some memory leaking bugs. |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | e6c378e | 2014-03-03 17:25:53 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 528 | - New API version() returns combined version. |
| 529 | - Support diet mode. |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | 6e6ada2 | 2014-03-03 16:50:04 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 530 | - Better support for detail option. |

| 534 | |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | 6cfabcd | 2014-03-03 17:04:15 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 535 | - make.sh now can uninstall the core engine. This is done with: |
| 536 | |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | 6e6ada2 | 2014-03-03 16:50:04 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 537 | $ sudo ./make.sh uninstall |

Nguyen Anh Quynh | 1ee2326 | 2014-01-22 18:27:39 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 540 | Version 2.0: January 22nd, 2014 |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | 8282dc6 | 2014-01-15 21:20:47 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 541 | |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | 1ee2326 | 2014-01-22 18:27:39 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 542 | Release 2.0 deprecates verison 1.0 and brings a lot of crucial changes. |

Nguyen Anh Quynh | 1ee2326 | 2014-01-22 18:27:39 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 544 | [ API changes ] |
| 545 | |
| 546 | - API version has been bumped to 2.0 (see cs_version() API) |
| 547 | - New API cs_strerror(errno) returns a string describing error code given |
| 548 | in its only argument. |
| 549 | - cs_version() now returns combined version encoding both major & minor versions. |
| 550 | - New option CS_OPT_MODE allows to change engine’s mode at run-time with |
| 551 | cs_option(). |
| 552 | - New option CS_OPT_MEM allows to specify user-defined functions for dynamically |
| 553 | memory management used internally by Capstone. This is useful to embed Capstone |
| 554 | into special environments such as kernel or firware. |
| 555 | - New API cs_support() can be used to check if this lib supports a particular |
| 556 | architecture (this is necessary since we now allow to choose which architectures |
| 557 | to compile in). |
| 558 | - The detail option is OFF by default now. To get detail information, it should be |
| 559 | explicitly turned ON. The details then can be accessed using cs_insn.detail |
| 560 | pointer (to newly added structure cs_detail) |

Nguyen Anh Quynh | 1ee2326 | 2014-01-22 18:27:39 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 563 | [ Core changes ] |
| 564 | |
| 565 | - On memory usage, Capstone uses much less memory, but a lot faster now. |
| 566 | - User now can choose which architectures to be supported by modifying config.mk |
| 567 | before compiling/installing. |
| 568 | |
| 569 | |
| 570 | [ Architectures ] |
| 571 | |
| 572 | - Arm |
| 573 | - Support Big-Endian mode (besides Little-Endian mode). |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | 6c5eec5 | 2014-01-22 18:33:35 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 574 | - Support friendly register, so instead of output sub "r12,r11,0x14", |
| 575 | we have "sub ip,fp,0x14". |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | 1ee2326 | 2014-01-22 18:27:39 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 576 | - Arm64: support Big-Endian mode (besides Little-Endian mode). |
| 577 | - PowerPC: newly added. |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | 6c5eec5 | 2014-01-22 18:33:35 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 578 | - Mips: support friendly register, so instead of output "srl $2,$1,0x1f", |
| 579 | we have "srl $v0,$at,0x1f". |
Nguyen Anh Quynh | 1ee2326 | 2014-01-22 18:27:39 +0800 | [diff] [blame] | 580 | - X86: bug fixes. |
| 581 | |
| 582 | |
| 583 | [ Python binding ] |
| 584 | |
| 585 | - Python binding is vastly improved in performance: around 3 ~ 4 times faster |
| 586 | than in 1.0. |
| 587 | - Cython support has been added, which can further speed up over the default |
| 588 | pure Python binding (up to 30% in some cases) |
| 589 | - Function cs_disasm_quick() & Cs.disasm() now use generator (rather than a list) |
| 590 | to return succesfully disassembled instructions. This improves the performance |
| 591 | and reduces memory usage. |
| 592 | |
| 593 | |
| 594 | [ Java binding ] |
| 595 | |
| 596 | - Better performance & bug fixes. |
| 597 | |
| 598 | |
| 599 | [ Miscellaneous ] |
| 600 | |
| 601 | - Fixed some installation issues with Gentoo Linux. |
| 602 | - Capstone now can easily compile/install on all *nix, including Linux, OSX, |
| 603 | {Net, Free, Open}BSD & Solaris. |
