Pwndbg 1.1

We haven't done releases for some time but hopefully this release will change that habbit.

Below you can see a detailed changelog of what has been changed.

Changelog

• Added/updated/modified commands:
  • next_syscall renamed to nextsyscall
  • breakrva - break at offset of given executable (default main binary; e.g. breakrva 0x123 will set a breakpoint at binary_base+0x123)
  • piebase - rebase given address for given executable
  • probeleak - scan for pointers in the specified memory (#492)
  • stepret - step until we step into a ret (#448)
  • stepsyscall - step until we step into a syscall (#447)
  • tcache - support for ptmalloc's thread cache (#420)
  • vis_heap_chunks - visualize heap chunks at the specified address (#496)
  • eX windbg commands family now supports hex data prefixed with 0x (e.g. eq $rsp 0xCAFEBABE will work
    the same as eq $rsp cafebabe)
  • context - it is now possible to set empty context (e.g. set context-sections)
  • hexdump, nearpc, telescope - improved repeat functionality (#395)
  • vmmap_add, vmmap_load - it is possible to add memory pages manually (might be useful for bare metal debugging - see #385)
  • version - displays capstone, unicorn, IDA and Hexrays versions
  • xinfo - display extended offset information
• Added/updated config parameters:
  • ida-enabled - control whether pwndbg try to connect to IDA xmlrpc server (enabled by default to preserve old behavior)
  • nearpc-show-args - control whether context displays an args section
• Added detection of bare metal mode and making de-reference only works on known pages in it (see #385 and vmmap_load and vmmap_add commands)
• Added $rebase(address) function (use e.g. as break *$rebase(some_address); see also breakrva and piebase commands)
• Added syntax highlightning for disassembled code and source code
• Made everything themeable <3 (see theme and https://github.com/pwndbg/pwndbg-themes)
• Improved IDA Pro xmlrpc (see #442)
• Added basic support for Rust language (see #431)
• Added $rebase(addr) function
• Fixed heap's find_fake_chunk (see #435)
• Fixed pwndbg crash on non-English GDB version (see #430)
• Emulator profiling and performance improvement (see #421)
• The aarch64/arm64 context now displays frame pointer register (x29)
• Improved detection of extended-remote types
• Fixes for both Py2 and Py3
• Fix nearpc following jumps when used w/o emulation (#499)
• Fix: wrong regs display on threaded targets (#488, #495)
• Exceptions now show info about exception-debugger config parameter (#501)
• Added tests engine
• ...and probably some more ;)
