radare2 1.0 comes with 20122 new lines of new features, bug fixes and enhancements. Here some of the most important highlights:

The project have finally reached 1.0. What does it mean?

It means that 10 years have passed and the ecosystem changed enough since its inception that it requires a new rethink of the versioning numbers.

Pushing a new release every 6 weeks, increasing 0.1. And adding +1.0 after every r2con. The 3rd version number will be used in case of emergency because of a buggy release or a backported security fix. In this case a +0.0.1 will be released.

The community evolves in a pretty healthy way, and contributors come and leave over time. This release conforms the base for the future of radare, providing a more structured and predictible evolution of features and apis.

In addition. The r2pipe bindings proved to be more than enough for most needs of our users, more stable, available on more languages and faster than the native bindings. So this is the recommended way to script r2 or write tools that interact with it.

Language bindings will be still maintained, but it requires some focus, which is actually low, in the sense that I'm just fixing when the build breaks.

Major contributors

  • pancake keeps owning > 50% of the commits
  • alvarofe major contributor, bugfixer
  • mrmacete implemented the long-standing need of recursive emulation support
  • killabytenow kept pushing nice AVR ESIL updates
  • Unlogic focused in RAsm
  • maijin for remembering all the issues and mangling the testsuite
  • h4ng3r worked on fixing bugs in the bin+anal of android apps
  • sre for coming back from debian land

Known Bugs

  • Slow on big files - after analyzing a big file (>1MB) the visual mode can become pretty slow, this can be "optimized" by disabling asm.slow, but it must be approached in a proper way to avoid O(n) requests to Flags, Functions, Basic blocks and other information that is requested many times.
  • Project structure has changed, they are upgraded when saved, but there must happen some data loss. Next releases should improve on that.
  • Collisions in hashtable - some very rare situtations may lead to a hash collision, this is fixed in another branch that updates Sdb, but it's not stable enough to be merged.
  • Debugger is working but could be much better, the main issue is actually the regression test. You may want to use r2frida or r2lldb from NowSecure to debug with r2 when r2 is not enough.
  • Binary headers are not easy to visualize or patch, there are tools for doing that, but next releases will make this situation better.
  • Signature matching is not working as good as it shuold, new signature definitions will appear in the next release, as well as some enhancements and speedups.

  • More commands are now autocompleted
