• pkg-config is consistent with installation.

X86:

• Support new syntax CS_OPT_SYNTAX_MASM (see this Python sample).
• Properly handle AL/AX/EAX operand for OUT instruction in AT&T syntax.
• Print immediate operand in positive form in some algorithm instructions.
• Properly decode many SSE instructions.
• Properly decode some instructions beginning with f3 or 660f, where f3 & 66 are not prefix.
• Correct the size of immediate operand for instruction CMP8i8.
• Update core with 46 instructions added (including latest extensions from Broadwell CPU).
• Fix operand size of instructions with operand PTR []
• Add prefix constant REPE (= REP).
• Handle the opcode 0x82 (non-64bit instructions).
• Properly handle instructions using CR9~CR15 registers.
• Remove dead SSE_CC constants.
• Add new registers DR8-DR15.
• New undocumented instructions FDISI8087_NOP, FENI8087_NOP & FFREEP.

PowerPC:

• Update core with 164 instructions added (with new QPX extension).

Mips:

• Update core with 40 instructions added.
• Sanity check for the input size for MIPS64 mode.

Arm:

• Fixed a memory corruption bug on IT instruction.
• BLX instruction modifies PC & LR registers.
• Remove bogus instructions ASRS, LSRS, SUBS and MOVS.
• Update core with 2 instructions added.
• Add lshift field to arm_op_mem.

XCore:

• Fixed a memory corruption bug when instruction has a memory operand.

Python:

• setup.py supports option --user to allows to install for local usage.
• Properly handle the destruction of Cs object in the case the shared library was already unloaded.
• X86Op.avx_zero_mask now has c_bool type, not c_uint8 type.

Tests:

• Rename test.c to test_basic.c.

Checkout -next branch

To checkout next branch, simply do this:

    $ git pull
    $ git checkout next

Then make sure to compile and install new code:

    $ ./make.sh
    $ sudo ./make.sh install

Just in case, always remember to reinstall bindings whenever you update the core to maintain the compatibility between the core & the bindings. For example, with Python binding, do:

    $ cd bindings/python
    $ sudo make install

The next branch is frequently updated, so make sure to always get the latest code with:

    $ git pull origin next

Any time you want to get back to master branch, do:

    $ git checkout master
