September 21, 2026

We are happy to announce Capstone 6.0.0-Alpha11.

Highlights

This is another patch release with multiple instruction fixes and bug fixes.

This release adds an AGENTS.md file and developer AI guidelines.

API changes/additions

  • x86: Support alternative disassembly for JO/JNO operands in 64-bit mode. This adds two modes for x86: CS_MODE_X86_AMD and CS_MODE_X86_INTEL. Setting either of these flags will currently only affect the JO/JNO instructions. Please check the release guide for more details. The default behavior of the x86 module did not change.

  • x86: use effective address size for the loop counter register
  • x86: fix VMOVUPS memory operand access
