- Added AskUsingForm() with embedded forms support (check ex_askusingform.py example and formchooser.py in the SDK)

- Added idc.BeginTypeUpdating() / EndTypeUpdating() for fast batch type update operations
- Added more IDP callbacks
- Added UI_Hooks with a few notification events
- Added idaapi.process_ui_action() / idc.ProcessUiAction()
- Added netnode.index() to get netnode number
- Better handling of ea_t values with bitwise negation
- Execute statement hotkey (Ctrl-F3), script timeout, and other options are now configurable with Python.cfg
- bugfix: idaapi.msg() / error() and warning() so they don't accept vararg
- bugfix: processor_t.id constants were incorrect
- bugfix: get_debug_names() was broken with IDA64
- Various bugfixes
- Fixed idaapi.msg() / error() and warning() so they don't accept vararg
- Fixed processor_t.id constants
- idaapi.BasicBlock and FlowChart are now new-style classes
- IDA 6.0 support
- Python CLI now prints expression evaluation result (no need to use print())
- Changed Alt-8 to Ctrl-F3 (because it conflicts with window switching key Alt+n)
- Added get_highlighted_identifier()
- Added PluginForm class to allow UI development with either PyQt4 or PySide
- Added idautils.Entries() to enumerate entrypoints
- idc / AddConst() was broken
- Minor fixes
idaapi.cvar.database_idb seems to point to a realloc'ed buffer. When IDA is working on an IDB stored in a directory with a long path and a second IDB with a shorter path is loaded, the buffer will be overwritten with the new path to the IDB, which will end in "\x00" and the leftovers of the older, longer path will follow.
The problem with GetIdbPath() is that it returns the whole bufer, NULL and "leftovers" included, which leads to trouble in Python. Specifically some functions like os.path.splitext which will look for the extension starting from the end of the buffer and will return an invalid split.
The patch simply post-processes the contents of idaapi.cvar.database_idb returning a Python string with all characters up to the "\x00"
- wrapped print_type
- minor mods to idc.py
- added idautils.GetIdbDir
- added Names()
- added Modules()
- added idautils.peutils_t()
- simplecustviewer_t.GetLineNo() now returns -1 on failure
- idc.py / setregval: it was not possible to set register values > 0x7fffffff
- added AUTHORS.txt and changed the banner
- IDAPython_ExecFile() will print script execution errors to the log window too
- added 'ph' into idaapi. It is a replacement for idaapi.cvar.ph
- added runscript to init.py for backward compatibility
- added cli_t support
It is now possible to identify the registers of a decoded instruction with:
cmd = DecodeInstruction(here())
if cmd[0].is_reg(proc_regs.eax): print "EAX is used"
or something like:
if cmd[1].is_reg(proc_regs.al): print "al is used"
