v2.1.0 Plan

[wtdcode]

Hey community!

Finally, I got some time on releasing the next version, v2.1.0. So far, my top priority todo list includes:

• Fully support M1, including CI, binary release etc giving the fact that Github is providing free runners. (mostly done! still fixing) (Really tedious due to apple closed source nature...)
• [ ] Push java bindings to maven central (postponed due to excessively CI work)
• Port new py3 bindings and py2 compatibility New and improved Python bindings #1629 [RFC] Restore py2 compatibility by using 2 files #1823
• Fix msvc linkage Fix dynamic linkage on msvc #1796

I'm also considering some urgent bugs fixes to be released in this version so I'm hearing from you! I wish to release this in Feb, hopefully.

Would be fantastic if you could fix #1869

@mrj0n3s I'm afraid I don't have time to send a patch to qemu or we have to fix it on our side. I will have a check the complexity of that issue.

Great to hear that there's an upcoming release! This project is so useful.

I would love it if you would take a look at #1925.

[wtdcode]

#1925 is probably out-of-scope because:

• Unicorn and capstone are two projects overall. And even if you consider both are forks, they are forked from different projects.
• The definitions provided by both projects are very different. For example, I don't see how to trivially map UC_ARM_REG_CP_REG to some equavelents.
• This easily breaks our compatibility.

#1869 is fixed and I sent a patch to QEMU for further review.

OK, thank you for the explanation.

Report from Eli, UC_ERR_INSN_INVALID doesn't respect the users' return value and halts emulation unconditionally.

@wtdcode any updates on the timeline for the new release?
