<blockquote><p><u><B>Improvements</B></u></p>
<ul>
<li><I>Debugger:LLDB</I>. Upgraded SWIG-generated Java (plus docs) to LLVM/lldb 16.x. (GP-3442, Issue #5359)</li>
<li><I>Decompiler</I>. Added an option to the Decompiler, controlling the maximum size of jumptable that can be recovered. (GP-3266)</li>
<li><I>Decompiler</I>. Improved Decompiler function call-override to consider calling convention when differentiating function signatures. (GP-3268, Issue #5335)</li>
<li><I>Decompiler</I>. The Decompiler now respects tool options for shortening template strings within symbol names. (GP-3369)</li>
<li><I>Importer:ELF</I>. Added <span class="gtitle">Max Zero-Segment Discard Size</span> import option to ELF Loader. Value was previously hard-coded to 255 bytes. (GP-3428, Issue #5273)</li>
<li><I>Importer:Mach-O</I>. Restored Mach-O indirect symbol creation when binding information is not present, such as when importing a <span class="gcode">DYLIB</span> extracted from a <span class="gcode">dyld_shared_cache</span>. (GP-3526)</li>
<li><I>Languages</I>. Added windows<span class="gcode">__stdcall</span> calling convention as an alias to the default calling convention for <span class="gcode">aarch64</span> and <span class="gcode">x86-64</span>. (GP-3472)</li>
<li><I>Scripting</I>. Improved the <span class="gcode">RecoverClassesFromRTTIScript</span> recognition of special vtables when they are in memory blocks not tied to imported file bytes. (GP-3463)</li>
<li><I>Scripting</I>. Mitigated a <span class="gcode">RecoverClassesFromRTTIScript</span> issue where mangled typeinfo names were not always getting extracted from memory when more than one bad data type was created over the memory containing the mangled string. (GP-3467)</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<blockquote><p><u><B>Bugs</B></u></p>
<ul>
<li><I>Analysis</I>. Fixed regression when functions are set as inline that can cause lockups: during analysis, with use of stack depth field, and for <span class="gtitle">Set Stack Depth Change</span> action. (GP-3499, Issue #5378, #5400, #5401)</li>
