Releases: fonic/wcdatool
wcdatool-v3.2
Changelog for v3.2 release:
- added algorithm to deduplicate consecutive data lines in formatted disassembly (greatly reduces disassembly size for data objects)
- removed
TESTING
label for some code blocks that have proven themselves to be useful and stable - applied minor updates to object hints (
MK2.EXE
,PACMANVR.EXE
)
wcdatool-v3.1
Changelog for v3.1 release:
-
added algorithm to rename duplicate globals to avoid name clashing (unique labels are important/helpful when trying to recompile disassembly as one huge blob)
-
added support for loop instruction (treated like call/jumps, i.e. loop targets contribute to branch analysis and are replaced with labels in formatted disassembly)
-
added script to compile wcdatool using Cython (no performance gain yet as wcdatool's Python sources have not yet been decorated/optimized for Cython)
-
fixed minor copy&paste mistake (references to non-existing variables in
module_miscellaneous.py
) -
updated object hints for Pac-Man VR
-
overhauled a number of comments (clarification/updates/typos)
-
added wcdatool's usage information to
README.md
-
applied a number of minor changes to
README.md
wcdatool-v3.0
Changelog for v3.0 release:
-
added support for TBYTES (thanks to halamix2 for adding to this) (e.g. FATAL.EXE, PYL.EXE)
-
implemented workaround for fixup records lacking a target offset (although not entirely sure what those are actually about) (e.g. FATAL.EXE, PYL.EXE)
-
added support for call/jump stubs (i.e. call/jumps instructions with targets that only are determined at runtime via fixup records) (e.g. MK2.EXE)
-
added 'fixup takes precedence' logic for branch targets (i.e. fixups targets are considered more trustworthy and may override branch targets determined by objdump)
-
added feature to suggest possible object hints for code objects (based on the observation that data regions in code objects usually get access sizes assigned to them)
-
added preliminary support for a branch tracing disassembler (disabled by default, not ready for production yet)
-
applied many additional minor fixes/changes
wcdatool-v2.0
Changelog for v2.0 release:
-
comprehensive rewrite of the entire tool:
-
no longer monolithic, sources now split into separate modules
-
disassembler now centered around fixup records
-
overhauled and verified almost all of the source code
-
-
rebranded to 'wcdatool'
