0.9.2

After about 10 months of development I'm proud to announce a new release of radare2. It has been delayed many times and I'm not happy about that, but stability requires some time. I'm happy to see new contributors and users interested on the project.

This document describes a compacted list of all the changes done from the previous release (0.9) and this one (0.9.2).

As always, if you want to use the r2 api from python, nodejs or others you need to install the r2-bindings package which depends on valabind and swig.

Big news for this release are an official Android package maintained by Pau Oliva (pof) and an embedded http-1.0 webserver which provides a simple way to implement an user interface.

Lot of bugs has been fixed and new CPUs are supported while code analysis gets better and is focused on x86-16,32,64, arm and mips.

Enjoy!
