People interested in reverse engineering with IDA Pro might like to hear that a new version of IDAPython, the Python plugin for IDA Pro, has been released. It supports IDA Pro 4.8, wraps even more API calls and comes with a number of new features.

The plugin, with full source code, can be downloaded from http://d-dome.net/idapython.

A quick list of notable changes:

* Batch execution support (use the option -OIDAPython:yourscript.py)
* Added ScriptBox - lists previously run scripts (Hotkey:Alt-7)
* Added support for IDA Pro 4.8 (both Linux and Windows)
* Dropped support for IDA Pro 4.6 and 4.6SP1 versions
* Wrapped the list chooser (see examples/choose.py)
* A dozen or so IDC functions added
* Lots of char * API calls wrapped
* Added Python error handling in the plugin C layer
* Bunch of misc small cleanups and fixes
* For more details see CHANGES-SWIG.txt and CHANGES-Plugin.txt
* API CHANGE: {Next|Prev}Function() return BADADDR instead of -1
