This file details the changelog of Capstone.
|
||
|
||
---------------------------------
|
||
Version 2.0: January 22nd, 2014
|
||
|
||
Release 2.0 deprecates verison 1.0 and brings a lot of crucial changes.
|
||
|
||
[ API changes ]
|
||
|
||
- API version has been bumped to 2.0 (see cs_version() API)
|
||
- New API cs_strerror(errno) returns a string describing error code given
|
||
in its only argument.
|
||
- cs_version() now returns combined version encoding both major & minor versions.
|
||
- New option CS_OPT_MODE allows to change engine’s mode at run-time with
|
||
cs_option().
|
||
- New option CS_OPT_MEM allows to specify user-defined functions for dynamically
|
||
memory management used internally by Capstone. This is useful to embed Capstone
|
||
into special environments such as kernel or firware.
|
||
- New API cs_support() can be used to check if this lib supports a particular
|
||
architecture (this is necessary since we now allow to choose which architectures
|
||
to compile in).
|
||
- The detail option is OFF by default now. To get detail information, it should be
|
||
explicitly turned ON. The details then can be accessed using cs_insn.detail
|
||
pointer (to newly added structure cs_detail)
|
||
|
||
|
||
[ Core changes ]
|
||
|
||
- On memory usage, Capstone uses much less memory, but a lot faster now.
|
||
- User now can choose which architectures to be supported by modifying config.mk
|
||
before compiling/installing.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[ Architectures ]
|
||
|
||
- Arm
|
||
- Support Big-Endian mode (besides Little-Endian mode).
|
||
- Support friendly register, so instead of output sub "r12,r11,0x14",
|
||
we have "sub ip,fp,0x14".
|
||
- Arm64: support Big-Endian mode (besides Little-Endian mode).
|
||
- PowerPC: newly added.
|
||
- Mips: support friendly register, so instead of output "srl $2,$1,0x1f",
|
||
we have "srl $v0,$at,0x1f".
|
||
- X86: bug fixes.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[ Python binding ]
|
||
|
||
- Python binding is vastly improved in performance: around 3 ~ 4 times faster
|
||
than in 1.0.
|
||
- Cython support has been added, which can further speed up over the default
|
||
pure Python binding (up to 30% in some cases)
|
||
- Function cs_disasm_quick() & Cs.disasm() now use generator (rather than a list)
|
||
to return succesfully disassembled instructions. This improves the performance
|
||
and reduces memory usage.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[ Java binding ]
|
||
|
||
- Better performance & bug fixes.
|
||
|
||
|
||
[ Miscellaneous ]
|
||
|
||
- Fixed some installation issues with Gentoo Linux.
|
||
- Capstone now can easily compile/install on all *nix, including Linux, OSX,
|
||
{Net, Free, Open}BSD & Solaris.
|
||
