windbg commands family now supports hex data prefixed with 0x (e.g.eq $rsp 0xCAFEBABE
will work
the same aseq $rsp cafebabe

,telescope
- improved repeat functionality (#395)vmmap_add
,vmmap_load

ida-enabled
- control whether pwndbg try to connect to IDA xmlrpc server (enabled by default to preserve old behavior)nearpc-show-args
- control whethercontext
displays an args section
- Added detection of bare metal mode and making de-reference only works on known pages in it (see #385 and

andvmmap_add
commands) - Added
$rebase(address)
function (use e.g. asbreak *$rebase(some_address)
; see alsobreakrva
andpiebase
commands) - Added syntax highlightning for disassembled code and source code
