Lately.. After releasing 0.7 we were a bit out.. Nibble and edu, the other two developers are pretty busy irl, but they will be up in a month or so.
I've been fixing bugs in code and the build system, and i have also optimized some parts of r2... Still lot of work in this area. And i plan to make r2 0.8 faster than any other release. Other focus for 0.8 are debugging support for BSD systems..actually its known to work on OpenBSD.. And porting the actual code to netbsd or freebsd is just a few line patch.. But i need some time in order to setup the vms and do it. If you are interested on this. Please, let me know which compile errors you get and we can try to solve them. Eloi, a friend who is working on the gdbremote and sh4 architecture support have already pushed some commits.. Actually the gdbwrapper library from eresi it's no longer x86 specific. And we plan to add a decent support for gdbremote for the next release. Sh4 debuging via gdb works as a PoC wihth the current code. Another point i would like to fix before 0.7.1 is to rewrite he nibble's ragdiff2 in C.. So bindiffing code will be possible without depending on python. Sh4 code analysis allowed us to review the ranal library.. And found some ways to improve it. Mips, arm and sh4 are really depending on code analysis to generate a decent branch flow.. So this is something that will be improved in the next release. Debian has also been pinging me and reporting build error logs from esotheric platforms like kfreebsd on sparc.. And this allowed me to identify and fix some errors in the makefiles.. Those errors should be already fixed in hg tip.. So please give it a try and let me know :) The plans for this month are to release 0.7.1 in order to allow packagers from debian, openbsd and arch to update their packages. Eventually, and if I have some spare time... I'll try to get the gui in a usable state and release a build for linux/x86. The thing is that after the release of gtk3.. I would like to port it to gtk3. But this will require some work on gtkaml to support vala 0.14 ..probably valaswig will need to be ported to the new vala.. And get in touch with the gnome3 human interface guidelines to make it even sweet ( multitouch, html5 graphical backend ( use radare from the browser ), css styles, native Osx Support, integrated javascript with JIT scripting of r2 api.. And many oher goods.. All this stuff is great.. But i have only two hands.. And people demand a build asap.. So i will delay the port to gtk3 in order to receive some feedback from all you :) Thanks for reading --pancake _______________________________________________ radare mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nopcode.org/listinfo.cgi/radare-nopcode.org
