What's new:
- added the decompiler bindings
- Expose simpleline_t type to IDAPython. That lets the user to set the bgcolor & text for each line in the decompilation.
- Wrapped new functions from the IDA SDK
Various fixes:
for non-code locations, idc.GetOpnd() would create instructions instead of returning empty result
- idb_event::area_cmt_changed was never received in IDB_Hooks (and descendants)
- idb_event::ti_changed, and idb_event::op_ti_changed notifications were not accessible in IDAPython
- op_t.value was truncated to 32 bits under IDA64.
- print_tinfo() wouldn't return a valid string.
- readsel2() was not usable.
- read_selection() was buggy for 64-bit programs.
- StructMembers() considered holes in structures, and didn't properly iterate through the whole structure definition.
- There was no way to call calc_switch_cases() from IDAPython.
- when using multi-select/multi-edit choosers, erroneous event codes could be sent at beginning & end of batch deletion of lines.
- When, in a PluginForm#OnCreate, the layout of IDA was requested to change (for example by starting a debugging session), that PluginForm could be deleted and create an access violation.
- tinfo_t objects created from IDAPython could cause an assertion failure at exit time.
- Usage of IDAPython's DropdownListControl was broken.
What's new:
- Proper multi-threaded support
- Better PyObject reference counting with ref_t and newref_t helper classes
- Improved the pywraps/deployment script
- Added IDAViewWrapper class and example
- Added idc.GetDisasmEx()
- Added idc.AddSegEx()
- Added idc.GetLocalTinfo()
- Added idc.ApplyType()
- Updated type information implementation
- Introduced the idaapi.require() - see http://www.hexblog.com/?p=749
- set REMOVE_CWD_SYS_PATH=1 by default in python.cfg (remove current directory from the import search path).
Various bugfixes:
- fixed various memory leaks
- asklong/askaddr/asksel (and corresponding idc.py functions) were returning results truncated to 32 bits in IDA64
- fix wrong documentation for idc.SizeOf
- GetFloat/GetDouble functions did not take into account endianness of the processor
- idaapi.NO_PROCESS was not defined, and was causing GetProcessPid() to fail
- idc.py: insert escape characters to string parameter when call Eval()
- idc.SaveFile/savefile were always overwriting an existing file instead of writing only the new data
- PluginForm.Close() wasn't passing its arguments to the delegate function, resulting in an error.
- The Functions() generator function now accepts function tail start parameter
- Added into idc.py: DbgRead/DbgWrite/SetTargetAssembler and stack pointer related functions
- Wrapped more type info related functions
- IDA Pro 6.2 support
- added set_idc_func_ex(): it is now possible to add new IDC functions using Python
- added visit_patched_bytes() (see ex_patch.py)
- added support for the multiline text input control in the Form class
- added support for the editable/readonly dropdown list control in the Form class
- added execute_sync() to register a function call into the UI message queue
- added execute_ui_requests() / check ex_uirequests.py
- added add_hotkey() / del_hotkey() to bind Python methods to hotkeys
- added register_timer()/unregister_timer(). Check ex_timer.py
- added the IDC (Arrays) netnode manipulation layer into idc.py
- added idautils.Structs() and StructMembers() generator functions
- removed the "Run Python Statement" menu item. IDA now has a unified dialog.
Use RunPlugin("python", 0) to invoke it manually.
- better error messages for script plugins, loaders and processor modules
- bugfix: Dbg_Hooks.dbg_run_to() was receiving wrong input
- bugfix: A few Enum related functions were not properly working in idc.py
- bugfix: GetIdaDirectory() and GetProcessName() were broken in idc.py
- bugfix: idaapi.get_item_head() / idc.ItemHead() were not working
- Added AskUsingForm() with embedded forms support (check ex_askusingform.py example and formchooser.py in the SDK)
- Added idautils.DecodePreviousInstruction() / DecodePrecedingInstruction()
- 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
