Greetings, We are excited to announce Capstone 2.1! The source code & all the software packages are available at http://capstone-engine.org. Capstone users are strongly recommended to upgrade to this version, which brings many important changes: - Update all 5 arches with new instructions & bug fixes: Arm, Arm64, Mips, PPC & X86. - Library size is around 40% smaller, but framework is faster. Especially, X86-only binary is about 3 times smaller than in version 2.0: it is only 780 KB now. - Support "diet" compilation option to minimize the framework, making Capstone more suitable for embedding into OS kernel or firmware. Example: X86-only engine is only 480 KB now. - Consume less memory: around 40% less than version 2.0. - Python binding offers some new lighter APIs that can improve performance up to 30%. - Fixed some memory leaking issues of Java & Cython bindings. - Lots of minor bugfixes. - API version bumped to 2.1. IMPORTANT: 1. We make some minor changes to API. See http://capstone-engine.org/version_2.1_API.html for how to adapt your existing code to this version. 2. Make sure to (re)install the Python/Java bindings coming with this version, as the old bindings from 2.0 are *incompatible* with the new core. Same applies for C#, Go, Ruby & Vala bindings provided by community. Thanks, Quynh
