radare 1.1 - codename "pre2k9"
Author: trufae # Views: 4650

I'm glad to announce the release of radare 1.1, codenamed "pre2k9".

Here's the summary of the changelog from 1.0 to 1.1.

I hope this release fixes all the building problems noticed by the
rpm and portage maintainers. I have also added a large list of
new feautres, commands and bug fixing.

If you dont have anything to celebrate tonight (yeah today is the
longest year), enjoy the 12:60 second \o/

Together with the 1.1 source code release I am also publishing the
mp3 of the chiptune session performed during the release of radare 1.0.

Thanks to neuroflip for the music! Thanks to brainstorm, Nibble, Anderson,
and JFV for their contribs, ideas and opinions!

I wish you a great entrance for this new year :)

* Analyze ranges can now give inverted results (boolean negation of ranges)
  - Ascii art output (ar%)
  - Trace analysis can be tagged to support multiple traces to be splitted
    internally and use different colors for graphing and so on
  - Full support for range analysis manipulation ('ar' command)
  - Can import information from debugger traces
  - Traces can be displayed with dwarf (C code) or serialized assembly
  - trace.bps enables/disables the stop on breakpoints when tracing code
* Code analysis graphs can now be exported as .dot files for graphviz with 'ac.' command
  - / and * keys in grava window are used to rotate graph in Z axis.
  - u and U keys are undo/redo seeks in grava window
* cmd.visualbind binds the 'b' key in visual mode to run a user defined command
* Fix !stepu command (until user code and until address)
