Version 2.0!
We are happy to announce version 2.0 of Capstone disassembly framework!
The source code & precompiled binaries are in the download section. See documentation for how to compile and install Capstone.
Version 2.0 brings a lot of important changes:
-
Library size is around 50% smaller.
-
Much less memory usage.
-
Framework is way faster. Especially, the Python binding is 3 ~ 4 times faster than in 1.0.
-
New architecture added: PowerPC
-
Architectures updated with new instructions & hardware modes for Arm, Arm64 & Mips.
-
Flexibility of choosing which architectures to be compiled in, so you can tailor library to your need.
-
Support for embedding Capstone into special environments such as kernel or firmware.
-
Some critical bug fixes.
NOTE
-
Version 1.0 is now considered obsolete and we no longer support it.
-
Version 2.0 made few API changes, so some (trivial) modifications to 1.0-based tools are needed to switch to 2.0.
