Version 3.0.4

July 15, 2015

We are excited to announce the stable version 3.0.4 of Capstone disassembly framework!

This release fixes some important security issues, so all users are strongly recommended to uprade.

The source code is available in zip and tar.gz formats, or at tagname 3.0.4 in our Github repo.

Find pre-compiled binaries in the Download section.

For any issues, please feed back via our contact.

NOTE

  • Do use the Python bindings come with this version, as we fixed some issues of version 3.0.3.

    See file bindings/python/README in the source on how to do fresh-install.

  • Our Python package capstone on PyPi can build & install the core at the time of installing Python module, so the external dependency on the core is eliminated.

    Windows users can either instal Python binding of Capstone from Windows installer, or using our PyPi package capstone-windows. Note that this already includes the prebuilt libraries (for both Win32 & Win64 editions) inside, so there is no need to install the core separately.
