  • #213: more work on the jump table dialog

Version 0.6.1.0

  • Implemented a general varargs processing mechanism, and specific instances for standard C printf and scanf function families, as well as the Py_BuildValue function from the Python runtime.
  • Early support for dealing with indirect function calls.
  • Improved ELF support for x86, x86-64, MIPS, PowerPC, ARM, and Sparc
  • Improved PE support for x86, x86-64, MIPS, and ARM

  • Beginning support for signature libraries.
  • The cancel button actually works now!
  • Support for "No decompile"
  • General bugfixes

Version 0.6.0.0

  • Combined code and low-level viewer, to allow users to compare Reko's output with the original binary.
  • A graph viewer, to help users to visualize procedure call graph
  • Image map view shows an overview of the image bytes as pixels
  • Allow user to specify the encoding used for text when displaying character data
  • New reko configuration and project file formats
  • Improvements in user-specified data types
  • More MIPS instructions supported
  • SPARC support greatly expanded
  • Added initial support for DEC VAX processor architecture
  • Support for SEGA Genesis platform added
  • Much better support for ELF binaries, both executables and relocatable object files
  • Refactored central ImageMap class to support binaries with large address space "gaps"

Version 0.5.5.0

  • Shingled disassembler implementation, in preparation for heuristic discovery of code.
  • Support for WinCE / MIPS
  • Improved data type inference
  • New project file format supports saving of more user options.
  • Better support for MonoDevelop
  • Many many small bugfixes

Version 0.5.4.0

  • Support for renaming decompiled procedures and changing their signatures. Changing signatures will affect following decompilation stages, as expected.

  • Implemented continuous integration using Travis CI

Version 0.5.3.0

  • Support for the MIPS architecture, and MIPS support in the PE and ELF image format
  • TextViewer now supports free selection of text.

Version 0.5.2.0

  • New structural analysis inspired by "Native x86 Decompilation Using Semantics-Preserving Structural Analysis and Iterative Control-Flow Structuring" (Schwartz, Lee, Woo, Brumley) yields much improved structured C-like code; the implementation itself is much simpler than the previous one.
  • C2Xml tool understands C++11 attributes, in particular the new [[reko::reg()]] which permits specifying the register in which an argument is passed to or returned from a procedure.
  • Implemented navigation history for CodeView window.
  • Added support for ELF x86-64 and PE Thumb binaries.
  • Many bugs fixed and code refactored.

Version 0.5.1.0

  • Integrated the Capstone.NET disassembler, now used for the ARM and ARM Thumb architectures.
  • Support for Arm Thumb PE executables.
  • Bug fixes for #14 and #17.

Version 0.5.0.0

  • Moved project from SourceForge
  • Renamed project to 'Reko'
  • Started implementation of heuristic static analysis.

Version 0.4.5.0

  • Command line interpreter supports --default-to option
  • More ARM instructions implemented
  • CP/M environment added
  • 64-bit Windows enviroment added

Version 0.4.4.0

  • Mostly bugfixes

Version 0.4.3.0

  • Beginnings of new tabbed GUI
  • Command line interpreter now understands a few switches; try typing decompile --help
  • More x86 and m68k instructions supported

Version 0.4.2.0

  • Added support for PS3 and System V ELF files.
  • For fun: a C64 BASIC "decompiler"!
  • Fixed the following submitted bugs #8: Can not load ELF or Amiga Hunk binaries #9: Can not run the decompiler from the command line
  • Implemented more x86 and PowerPC instructions
  • Improvements in SSA transformation code in preparation for move to new decompilation model
  • ImageSegmentRenders allow viewing of the structured data in image segments.

Version 0.4.1.0

  • (Crude) support for loading 32- and 64-bit PowerPC ELF binaries
  • Many PowerPC opcodes supported.
  • User interface bugfixes (broken keyboard accelerators etc)
  • The Copy command (Ctrl+C) is supported in windows where it makes sense.

Version 0.4.0.0

  • Support added for loading packed binaries using unpacker scripts written in OdbgScript.

Special thanks to halsten, who assisted in the implementation and testing of the OdbgScript loader.
