2.5.0

CodeName eknad

This release brought many small improvements to the existing commands and features, it improved different platforms support and cross-platform compilation. Moreover, integration with Cutter was also greatly enhanced. Thanks to new contributors visual modes (panels in particular) were polished to shine.

New Features

IO

There is an important addition in IO land: added gprobe plugin for communication with various parts from computer displays, based on Genesis/STMicro/MegaChips chipsets.

RopChain

Rop gadgets are (finally) stored in sdb, meaning that the search process will be much faster. And since they are now only searched once, and then stored, only the first search will take some time. The following ones should be instant!

Analysis

Radare2 gives a lot of power to the user to perforn manual analysis, hence why we're constanstly improving and adding features in this area. Like the new /g command, to find all possible paths from A to B inside a function. Moreover for the capstone analysis modules granularity assumptions were fixed to be handled properly.

GUI

Visual panels are now capable of using utf8 characters, so they are looking prettier. Especially with the color sheme support!

Misc and usability

As usual, more and more commands are now supporting the j suffix, to output JSON. We removed some dead code, memleaks, added some fixes, … you know, the usual drill. The ragg2-cc and ragg2 tools merged into a single binary. This should remove a lot of confusion and reduce the number of questions asked on our IRC chan :D. Since radare2 is a complex software, we're adding more and more autocompletion support in it! Please do open bug if you feel that we missed some subcommands.

Build system

You can now build radare2 with the meson build system. This should improve the build time.

Code cleaning

We moved x86.udis to radare2-extra, because we're using capstone as a main disassembler. You can of course still use UDIS if you prefer,
by installing it with r2pm: r2pm -ci udis86

File format handling

Radare2 is now able to parse RTTI for both GCC and MSVC
