  first use of Ghidra's Sleigh `crossbuild` feature which is used for weaving pcode for parallel 
  processor architectures such as the Hexagon. (GP-6621, Issue #1595)
* _Scripting_. Added `AddVfunctionCallRefScript`, which, if the cursor is on a vftable->function 
  token in the Decompiler, will create a CALL reference to the associated function in the Listing, 
  if it can be determined. (GP-6693)
* _Search_. Added the ability to scan using the results from one progam rebased on another. (GP-6260)

* _Data Types_. Change was made which consistently allows duplicate component/field naming within 
  Structure/Union datatypes.  When editing a name within the GUI, the user will be warned and must 
  confirm use of a duplicate name. (GP-3564, Issue #5249)
* _Data Types_. A datatype which gets removed will no longer attempt to update itself as a result of 
  dependency changes.  This may reduce the number of superfluous listener callbacks and events that 
  occur during the removal process. (GP-5882)
* _Debugger_. Added parameter for custom arguments to gdb/lldb. (GP-6112, Issue #8565)

  (GP-6199, Issue #7452)
* _Decompiler_. Added setter methods to the DecompilerOptions class.  These can be used by script 
  writers to control the Decompiler's behavior. (GP-6266, Issue #8812)
* _Demangler_. Created Output options for Microsoft Demangler that control output of anonymous 
  namespace encoding and control the emitting of tags for user-defined types when found as template 
  or function arguments. (GP-4901)

* _Emulator_. Introduced a default `LOCK` userop definition for x86, and a default 
  `ExclusiveMonitorPass` for ARM, as well as for other userops and processors. (GP-4241, Issue #6089, 
  #7495)
* _Emulator:JIT_. Optimized handling of multi-precision integers; i.e., varnodes of size greater 
  than 8 bytes. (GP-5980)
* _Function Compare_. Fixed the Function Comparison provider so that it saves changes made to the 
  Listing View fields.  The provider will now also remember the last view tab selected. (GP-6016)
* _GUI_. Added a Data Type Manager action to search for enums by value. (GP-1914)
* _GUI_. Added popup menu items __Close Other__, __Close Tabs to the Right__, and 
  __Close Tabs to the Left__ to docking window tabs. (GP-4961)
* _GUI_. Added namespace chooser to Add/Edit Label Dialog. (GP-5806, Issue #8263)
* _GUI_. Changed the Log Viewer to a window instead of a dialog so that it can be maximized.

* _Importer:PE_. The PE Dynamic Value Relocation Table (DVRT) is now parsed and marked up. (GP-6502)
* _Jython_. Jython support is now delivered as a Ghidra Extension, which means an extra step is 
  required to install it. If Jython is required, the user should simply go to 
  __File -> Install Extensions__ in the Ghidra Front End GUI and check __Jython__. The user must 
  restart Ghidra to complete the enablement of Jython. (GP-6754)
* _Languages_. More Swift type metadata has been parsed and marked up. (GP-6137, Issue #8607)
* _Listing_. Added a feature to allow function bodies to be closed in the Listing. (GP-5987)
* _Listing_. Changed offcut string references to use the existing non-default label at the string 
  beginning instead of the default name created from the string's offcut location. If no label is 
  defined, the default offcut string naming scheme is used (`s_[substring]` instead of 
  `[label name]+offset`). (GP-6345, Issue #8882)
* _Multi-User_. Improved Ghidra Server serialization filters and added serialization filters to 
  client-side Ghidra applications.  We may have missed something in our testing so let us know if

  to include the following: `'.'`, `'-'`, `'='`, `'@'`, `' '`, `'_'`, `'('`, `')'`, `'['`, `']'`, and 
  `'~'`. (GP-6681)
* _PyGhidra_. PyGhidra will now, by default, restore `sys.modules` to its prior state after a 
  PyGhidra script is run (or the interactive interpreter is reset) so the next time a script is run, 
  it freshly loads all of its imported modules again. This default behavior can be disabled by 
  setting the `pyghidra.sys.modules.restore.disable` Java system property to true, which can be done in 
  the `support/launch.properties` file. (GP-6288)
* _Scripting_. Made some improvements to the `RecoverClassesFromRTTIScript` for GCC programs. (GP-6670)
* _Search_. Fixed an issue where some matches were not found when doing a regular expression search 
  using the regex _lookbehind_ clause. (GP-6070)
* _Search_. Updated MemoryBytePatternSearcher to correctly handle mapped blocks. (GP-6308)
* _Sleigh_. Fixed the Sleigh `goto` statement to accept 64-bit literals. Added range-checking for 
  literals in Sleigh compiler. This fixes an Emulator issue where edits to the `pc` register were 
  truncated to 32 bits. (GP-6328, Issue #8875)
* _Symbol Table_. In the Symbol Table's __Symbol References__ table, the user can now select 
  multiple refs in the refs table to delete more than one reference at a time.  There is also a new 
  action in the Symbol Table popup action to allow the user to delete all references to a symbol, 
  found under __References -> Delete All__.  Finally, there is a new __Make Selection__ action in 
  the popup menu of the References Table to select, in the Listing, all references to a symbol. (GP-6430)
* _Testing_. Upgraded jacoco to 0.8.14. (GP-6504)
* _Version Tracking_. Improved Version Tracking so that when applying `thiscall` function signatures, 
  the source's class structure is copied to the destination program, if appropriate, given the 
  chosen apply options. (GP-5709, Issue #8127)
* _Version Tracking_. Updated Version Tracking to allow replacing of existing function label 
  namespaces. (GP-5996)

### Bugs
* _Analysis_. Added support for Windows DLLs generated by Golang. (GP-6325)
* _Analysis_. Corrected `AutoAnalysisManager.removeCancelledListenter()` to call `removeCancelledListener()` 
  instead of incorrectly calling `addCancelledListener()`.  This addresses a potential memory leak 
  within Ghidra. (GP-6789)

  multi-byte value spans adjacent memory blocks. (GP-6184)
* _Byte Viewer_. Fixed a minor alignment issue in Byte Viewer when a column could not populate the 
  first line of a memory block. (GP-6204)
* _Byte Viewer_. Updated the Byte Viewer's configure options dialog to handle programs with no 
  minimum address. (GP-6227, Issue #8762, #8763)
* _Data Types_. The Data Type Tree's __Associate with Archive__ action is now only available for 
  selected Program datatypes.  A normal copy or datatype drag-n-drop may still be used between all 
  datatype archives. (GP-6362)
* _Data Types_. Corrected Structure Editor __Unpackage Component__ action which was misplacing 
  components. (GP-6574, Issue #9041)
* _Data Types_. Corrected Structure `insertAtOffset` behavior when inserting at an offset which 
  precedes a zero-length component. (GP-6576)
* _Data Types_. Corrected upgrade failure which can occur for Project Data Type Archives. (GP-6649)

  replace was an undefined pointer. (GP-5722)

### Notable API Changes
* _API_. (GP-6039) Revised `ProgramUtilities.parseAddress(Program, String)` to handle the parsing of 
  external addresses (e.g., `EXTERNAL:000000100`).  Support for memory block style addresses has been 
  eliminated for this method (e.g., `<blockName>:<offsetWithinAddressSpace>`).  Memory block style 
  addresses should not be used.
* _Basic Infrastructure_. (GP-6370) `GenericXMLOutputter` is now instantiated with a static 
  `getInstance()` method rather than a constructor.
* _Byte Viewer_. (GP-5689) ByteViewer's `DataFormatModel.replaceValue()` has been moved to the new 
  `MutableDataFormatModel` interface, and `DataFormatModel.isEditable()` has been removed.  
  `DataFormatModel.validateBytesPerLine()` has been replaced with `validateByteViewerConfigOptions()`. 
  `DataFormatModel.setByteViewerConfigOptions()` has been added and `(get/set)GroupSize()` has been 
  removed.
* _Data Types_. (GP-3564) Eliminated throwing `DuplicateNameException` from 
  `DataTypeComponent.setFieldName`.   Added `Composite.findComponent(String name)` and 
  `Composite.findComponents(String name)` API methods.
* _Debugger:dbgeng.dll_. (GP-6190) `dbgeng` handlers return `DEBUG_STATUS_NO_CHANGE`.
* _Debugger:Emulator_. (GP-6129) PcodeOp was added to many Emulator methods.
* _Debugger:Emulator_. (GP-6131) Managers in the `Trace` API now permit operating directly on 
  register overlay spaces, where applicable.
* _Debugger:Emulator_. (GP-6159) Removed `PcodeUseropDefinition.execute(PcodeExecutor, PcodeUseropLibrary, Varnode, List)` 
  in favor of one taking `PcodeOp` as well.
* _Emulator_. (GP-4241) Converted each now-deprecated `XxxEmulateInstructionStateModifer` to a 
  `XxxPcodeUseropLibraryFactory`.
* _Emulator_. (GP-6158) `AnnotatedPcodeUseropLibrary` now allows static methods to be marked 
  `@PcodeUserop`. Both interpretation and JIT emulators can invoke them.
* _Emulator_. (GP-6234) Deprecated `EmulatorHelper` and related.
* _GUI_. (GP-6451) Added a `modify()` method to the Annotation class so clients can perform their own 
  annotation transformations.
* _Project_. (GP-6402) Overhauled GhidraURL utility class which now uses URI to generate URLs to 
  ensure that proper encoding and decoding is performed.  Added `GhidaURL.resolve` method which 
  simplifies creating a new Ghidra URL derived from another Ghidra URL to the same project or 
  repository.
* _Search_. (GP-6261) Various classes related to searching memory for byte patterns have been 
  changed to use generics to make them generally more useful.
* _Search_. (GP-6309) `SequenceSearchState` is renamed to `BulkPatternSearcher` and its API has changed. 
  Also, it and related classes have been changed to use generics and support different kinds of 
  patterns.

# Ghidra 12.0.4 Change History (March 2026)

### Improvements

# Ghidra 12.0.3 Change History (February 2026)

### New Features
* _Listing_. In order to mitigate possible security risks, auto comments will not longer render annotations in such a way as to make them valid annotation links.  Normal comments will continue to work as usual. (GP-6414)

### Improvements
* _Demangler_. The __Demangler GNU__ analyzer now has a timeout option. (GP-6408)
* _GUI_. Corrected Ghidra GUI to fail-fast in headless environment and avoid stack traces. (GP-6399)

* _Decompiler_. Fixed source of _"Forced merge caused intersection"_ exceptions when decompiling optimized string copies. (GP-6393, Issue #8651)
* _Multi-User_. Revised Ghidra Server self-signed certificate generation to include all associated FQDNs and IP addresses as subject alternative names.  This will address the forced hostname check imposed with the release of JDK 21.0.10.  To benefit from this change the Ghidra Server will need to be upgraded to this release.  A client-side workaround is to set the following JVM property within `support/launch.properties` by adding the line: `VMARGS=-Djdk.rmi.ssl.client.enableEndpointIdentification=false`. (GP-6426, Issue #8940)
* _Processors_. Fixed bug in AARCH64 `sha1h` instruction to shift instead of rotate bits. (GP-4501, Issue #6398)
* _Processors_. Fixed 80251 disassembly errors for instructions referencing the SPX register. (GP-5905, Issue #8395)

* _Search_. Fixed a memory leak in the `Find References...` action. (GP-6395, Issue #8921)

### Notable API Changes
* _Data Types_. (GP-6320) Structure offset-based insert methods `Structure.insertAtOffset` will now skip forward over existing zero-length components at the insert offset before performing insert of new component.

# Ghidra 12.0.2 Change History (January 2026)

### New Features
* _Emulator_. Fixed the Emulator's evaluation of `inst_next2`. (GP-6134, Issue #8646)

### Improvements
* _Basic Infrastructure_. Upgraded `commons-lang3` , `log4j`, and `postgresql` jars. (GP-6243)
* _Debugger_. Several Address and Value columns are now displayed in fixed-width font: Register Value, Stack PC, Snapshot PC, and Watch Value. (GP-6025)
* _Debugger:Breakpoints_. Added __Expression__ column to __Breakpoints__ locations table. (GP-6026)
* _Documentation_. Updated Debugger tutorial to reflect the addition of the Comment column to the Watches panel, and the moving of the schedule display to trace tabs instead of the Threads panel title bar. (GP-6032)
* _Extensions_. Fixed a potential zip path traversal vulnerability when unzipping Ghidra Extension archives. (GP-6354)
* _Multi-User_. Upgraded yajsw to 13.18. (GP-6364)

### Bugs
* _Data Types_. Corrected a Union update notification issue which impacted proper archive sync indicators and related operations. (GP-6359, Issue #8884)
* _Debugger_. Fixed missing __Dynamic Listing__ entry in Window menu, when the Dynamic Listing is closed. (GP-6086, Issue #8604)
* _Debugger:Emulator_. Fixed a silent infinite-read loop during some situations in an emulator forked from a live target. (GP-6340)
* _Demangler_. Fixed Gnu Demangler failure to parse a global guard variable. (GP-6371, Issue #8900)
* _GUI_. Updated the Symbol Tree's filter to fix an issue that sometimes caused it to not get painted. (GP-6366, Issue #2448)
* _Processors_. Corrected AARCH64 `ldapr` instruction semantics to properly read memory. (GP-6358, Issue #6593)
* _Processors_. Corrected PowerPC VLE `se_blrl` instruction semantics. (GP-6379, Issue #6207)
* _Processors_. Corrected issue with ARM `ldrexd` instruction when the operands are the same register. (GP-6381, Issue #6590)

### Notable API Changes
* _Debugger:Emulator_. (GP-6340) Removed `PcodeTraceDataAccess.intersectUnknown` in favor of `intersectViewKnown` with sutract.
* _Emulator_. (GP-6134) Added `InstructionPrototype.hasNext2Dependency()`.

# Ghidra 12.0.1 Change History (January 2026)

### Improvements
* _Build_. Upgraded Ghidra's local copies of the `packaging`, `setuptools`, and `wheel` Python wheels. (GP-6284, Issue #8852)
* _CodeBrowser_. Fixed an issue with stack depth following across indirect function calls which would occur in windows external indirect calls. (GP-6315, Issue #8837)
* _Debugger:Emulator_. The emulator will now use the nearest snapshot, allowing it to resume more quickly after restarting Ghidra. (GP-6236, Issue #8767)
* _Debugger:Time_. Invalidated rows in Time Panel are now displayed in gray. This is to indicate that navigating to it will require re-emulation. (GP-6244)
* _Decompiler_. Added abstract interpretation via the Software and System Verification (SSV) group @ Università Ca' Foscari's Library for Static Analysis (LiSA).  This capability was meant for the previous release, as noted in the 12.0 Change History. (GP-6225)

### Bugs
* _Assembler_. Fixed issue preventing some PPC VLE instructions from assembling. (GP-6109, Issue #8624)
* _Assembler_. Fixed an issue with Assembler corrupting instructions that followed, especially when ISA mode is involved. (GP-6295, Issue #8826)
* _Debugger:Emulator_. Fixed some crash cases in Taint emulator regarding mismatched op sizes. (GP-6287)
* _Debugger:Emulator_. Fixed issues in P-code Stepper: Uniques table crashed if unique was not yet written. Stepping backward emptied p-code listing and uniques table. (GP-6294)
* _Debugger:Emulator_. Fixed a `NullPointerException` in the emulation service when forking from a live target. (GP-6298)
* _Decompiler_. Fixed a Decompiler bug that caused _"Deleting op with descendants"_ exceptions. (GP-6090, Issue #8594)

* _Emulator_. (GP-6229) The emulation support method for CALLOTHER `OpBehaviorOther.evaluate` implementations has dropped the first input varnode which was used to identify the `OpBehaviorOther` implementation.  Only the inputs which are specified by the arguments passed to the named pcodeop within the slapsec are now passed to this method.  NOTE: The actual API change occurred within Ghidra 11.3 with GP-4643 change.

# Ghidra 12.0 Change History (December 2025)

### New Features
* _Data Types_. Added `RGB16` and `RGB32` Color primitive datatypes which have been implemented as unsigned integer types and will render a color patch for Data within the Listing.  These default, respectively, to `RGB_565` and `ARGB_8888` encodings but can adopt a different RGB Encoding through the use of a Typedef and a default Setting. (GP-4310, Issue #6191)
* _Decompiler_. Implemented low-pcode-based abstract interpretation via the Università Ca’ Foscari's Library for Static Analysis (LiSA). (GP-5566)
* _Emulator_. Added an experimental Z3 Symbolic emulator with a summarization GUI. This feature is distributed as an installable extension. (GP-5727)
* _FileSystems_. Add support for zstd compression in GFileSystem via user-provided zstd or 7-Zip command line tools. (GP-5842)
* _Graphing_. Added a Function Graph tab to the Function Comparison widget.   This allows users to see two functions side-by-side in Function Graph views, such as when viewing BSim functions. (GP-3648, Issue #1154)
* _Graphing_. Created a new prototype __Data Graph__ graphing feature with nodes that display data structures and values and edges that link one data structure to another via a pointer reference. (GP-5481)
* _GUI_. Updated the Xrefs Table to allow the user to delete references to the current location. (GP-2140, Issue #4317)
* _GUI_. Added a shared project repository connection status indicator to the root node of the project data tree.   A popup menu action was also added to the root node allowing the connection to be established when in a disconnected state. (GP-5333)
* _GUI_. Added ability to toggle the displaying of function variables (parameters and locals) that are normally displayed just below the function signature. The variables display can be turned on/off globally or individually per function. (GP-5886, Issue #8385)
* _Importer_. Created an importer for the Decompiler debug format which is produced by the Decompiler. (GP-3947)
* _Importer_. Added an option to mirror the local filesystem when importing programs and their libraries. Programs and libraries that exist on the local filesystem as symbolic links will have both their corresponding link file and resolved program file mirrored in the project. (GP-5343, Issue #7430)
* _Importer_. Added a new loader for HP-UX PA-RISC __System Object Module__ (SOM) binaries. (GP-5942)
* _Processors_. Added support for the NDS32 Processor. (GP-6007, Issue #1778)
* _Project_. Added expanded support for project link-files with the introduction of internal project folder and file links.  The links behave similar to Linux symbolic links and allow a single folder or file to be referenced by alternative project paths.   The GUI Project Tree and related project file chooser have also been improved with the ability to expand folder-links like folders (subject to filter restrictions at the API level).  The main Project Tree will continue to rely on project views for following external folder-links.  Some of the project tree's recursive traversal actions do not follow folder-links (e.g., Expand All).  NOTE: Although Ghidra permits files and folders to have the same name, this should be avoided when utilizing link-files or Ghidra URLs due to the path ambiguity it can cause.  This change also introduces a new file storage format which can create issues within a project if opened with an older version of Ghidra.  While this version remains compatible with older Ghidra Server versions, adding link files to a repository will require a Ghidra Server upgrade to the latest version. (GP-3551)

### Improvements
* _Accessibility_. Fixed tooltips in the Symbol Tree to not read HTML markup to screen readers. (GP-5741, Issue #8228)
* _Analysis_. Added `ENDBR64` and `ENDBR32` to function start patterns for x86 gcc. (GP-5287)

* _API_. Corrected ELF ppc64 import issues related to use of 32-bit-addressing language variants.  Improved handling of ELFv1 vs. ELFv2 binary markup.  Eliminated EXTERNAL `.pltgot.` symbols. (GP-3091, Issue #570)
* _API_. Updated various `SourceType` checks which should avoid use of equality checks in favor of priority checks when covering a range of sources. (GP-6008)
* _Basic Infrastructure_. The `support/launch.properties` now supports expansion of `${var}`-style environment variables. (GP-6022)
* _BSim_. Added `getmetadata` subcommand to `bsim` command-line utility. (GP-5748, Issue #8176)
* _BSim_. Updated BSim Elasticsearch extension support to version 8.19.7. (GP-6146, Issue #8611)

* _CodeBrowser_. Replaced __Dynamic Update__ checkbox in __Instruction Info__ window with a toolbar toggle action. (GP-5650)
* _CodeCompare_. Added actions to transfer variable and callee function names and datatypes from the dual Decompiler function comparison window. (GP-4007)
* _Data_. Improved the Listing's __Create Structure__ action, giving the ability to choose the data type category. (GP-5327, Issue #6713)
* _Data Types_. Added utility methods to the `DataTypeQueryService` for clients to have more flexibility in how they retrieve data types. (GP-5694, Issue #8157)
* _Debugger:Agents_. Upgraded to `protobuf-java 4.31.0` and `protobuf 6.31.0` for Python. (GP-5456)
* _Debugger:Agents_. Improved debug-connection failure-detection when the back-end terminates early. (GP-5700)

* _GUI_. Added accelerator mnemonics to the Memory Search dialog to help reduce manual navigation issues. (GP-5979, Issue #8264)
* _Headless_. The user can now specify headless loader options independently of what loader is being used. The headless importer will ignore loader options that are unsupported by the active loader. (GP-5545)
* _Help_. Added Processor, Language, and Compiler specification file names to __About Program__ dialog. (GP-5716, Issue #8163)
* _Importer:COFF_. Added support for importing big-endian COFF binaries. (GP-5645, Issue #1398, #8042)
* _Importer:PE_. The PeLoader no longer fails to import if a Data Directory does not parse successfully. (GP-4881, Issue #6864)
* _Languages_. Corrected handling of small integer parameters and structured data-type parameters  for the PowerPC 64-bit default calling convention. (GP-4029)
* _Languages_. Added support for mixed integer/floating-point parameters and structured data-type parameters for MIPS calling conventions. (GP-4030)
* _MachineLearning_. Updated __RandomForestFunctionFinderPlugin__ with improved model training performance, the ability to apply a model to a program selection, and the addition of disassembly to the similar-starts table. (GP-4400)
* _PDB_. Modified handling of PDB thunks so that for when Ghidra does not consider the function to be a thunk, which would normally cause the thunk to get the same signature as the thunked function, the Demangler is enabled to set the proper function signature and name.  This affects C++-related functions, for example, such as vtordisps and adjustors. (GP-5713)
* _Processors_. Added initial implementation of ARM Neon `VLD`/`VSTn` instructions. (GP-5853)
* _Processors_. Added support for MIPS16e2 instructions. (GP-5902, Issue #8406)
* _Processors_. Refactored RISCV context and moved CSR registers into a CSR memory space to support custom instructions and RISCV variants.  Also added sample RISCV variant Andestar. (GP-5975)
* _Processors_. Corrected AArch64 `fmadd` operand semantics ordering. (GP-6121, Issue #8454, #8625)
* _ProgramDB_. Improved performance of Symbol Table and its storage of `ExternalLocation` data. (GP-5498)
* _Scripting_. Condensed the script categories into a better-organized subset of categories. (GP-3952)
* _Scripting_. Python scripts that do not declare a `@runtime` metadata comment now default to PyGhidra instead of Jython. Jython scripts will need to include the "`# @runtime Jython`" script header in order to continue running within the Jython environment. (GP-5415, Issue #7856)
* _Scripting_. Released PyGhidra 3.0.0. (GP-5637, Issue #6914, #6915)
* _Scripting_. Made a few speed improvements to the RecoverClassesFromRTTIScript. (GP-5831, Issue #8199)

* _Scripting_. Fixed an issue in the `RecoverClassesFromRTTIScript` where pure virtual functions were not handled correctly in GCC programs. (GP-5993)
* _Sleigh_. Temporary (`unique`) variables can be accessed within a Sleigh language piece-wise using a direct varnode offset and length rather than masking which had inherent size limitations. (GP-5581)

### Bugs

* _Analysis_. Fixed the Non-Returning Functions analyzer to consider external functions.  Also added check for the function called right before an `INT3` as possibly being non-returning. (GP-5763)
* _Analysis_. Fixed handling of `segment()` op in stack analysis when segment op is unknown stack segment SS. (GP-6078, Issue #8584)
* _Assembler_. Added help anchor for Assembler's exhaust-or-zero-fill toggle. (GP-4478)

* _FID_. Added a temporary fix to identify the `security_check_cookie()` function in VS2022 binaries.  If the function is not identified, the return type is incorrectly recovered by the Decompiler. (GP-5998, Issue #2743)
* _Function_. Fixed thunk detection and thunk address calculation for thunks with an internal call/branch to the next instruction in order to load the current PC into an LR register. (GP-6072)
* _GUI_. Updated the Plate Comment field to render annotations' display text instead of raw annotation text. (GP-3756)
* _GUI_. Fixed potential deadlock in Ghidra tables that use the __Code Unit__ table column. (GP-5724, Issue #8208)
* _GUI_. Fixed bug that caused an incorrect tab to be selected when closing docked component provider tabs via the __x__ button. (GP-5821, Issue #8303)
* _GUI_. Fixed the Decompiler's __Edit Data Type__ action to correctly scroll the structure field being edited. (GP-6045, Issue #8522)

* _PDB_. Fixed an issue where the function arguments list record was a NOTYPE, which caused the analyzer to terminate. (GP-6010)
* _Processors_. Fixed ARM `vmvn` instruction semantics. (GP-4650, Issue #6544)

* _Project_. Improved project tree change listener to handle link status updates when such links reference non-visited regions of the project tree. (GP-5908)
* _Scripting_. Fixed the `GhidraScript.writer` member variable to properly get used in the various `GhidraScript.print*()` methods. (GP-5737)
* _Scripting_. Updated vxWorks symbol-table-finding script to better filter out runs of pointers when trying to locate the table.  Also, deleted old scripts and fixed demangling and labeling issues. (GP-5969, Issue #8024)
* _Scripting_. Jython scripts invoked via `runScript()` now have their local variables properly reset to a fresh state. (GP-5981)

* _Symbol Tree_. Updated the Symbol Tree to respond to external program path changes. (GP-5793)
* _Symbol Tree_. Fixed a bug where opening a folder in the Symbol Tree caused navigation to occur in the Listing. (GP-5914)

### Notable API Changes
* _API_. (GP-5600) The `AutoImporter` class has been deprecated. Use the new `ProgramLoader.Builder` class instead. The returned `Loaded` class should now be managed with a _try-with-resources_ pattern.  If a `DomainObject` is extracted from a `Loaded` object, it must be released independly of closing the `Loaded` object.
* _Assembler_. (GP-5800) Deleted `DbgTimer`.
* _Data Types_. (GP-5694) Deprecated `DataTypeQueryService.getDataType()`.   This method has been replaced by `promptForDataType()`.
* _Debugger:Agents_. (GP-5700) Launcher scripts `GHIDRA_HOME` now points to `<ghidra-install>/Ghidra`. `MODULE_HOME` now points to containing module root. Can request `MODULE_Xxx_HOME` pointing to module `Xxx` root by placing `@depends Xxx` in header.
* _Debugger:Trace_. (GP-5194) Objects mode is now the normal mode for Trace databases. The legacy mode has been removed. As a result, the root object must be created early, since other managers require it. Merged methods from `TraceObjectX` interfaces into `TraceX` (only those derived from `TraceObjectInterface`). To avoid confusion, renamed `TraceMethod` (in Java TraceRmi Client) to `TraceRmiMethod`. Renamed `TraceBreakpoint` to `TraceBreakpointLocation`. Added `TraceBreakpointSpecification`, `TraceBreakpointCommon`. Deleted `TraceAddressSpace` in favor of `AddressSpace`. Added `DebuggerCoordinates.isRegisterSpace()`. Space-based managers, e.g., `TraceMemoryManager`, no longer have special tables for register spaces. They all use the overlay-named-after-register-container convention. Added `TraceBaseCodeUnitsView.get(platform,snap,register,forward)`. Memory region management is moved from `TraceMemoryOperations` to `TraceMemoryManager`. Removed experimental and incomplete `TraceProgramView.getViewRegisters()` method and related. Removed `thread` parameter from `TraceLabelSymbolView.add/create`. Added variant of `TraceLabelSymbolView.add/create` that takes `platform(optional),thread,register` (and similar with getters in `TraceSymbolWithLocationView`). Added methods to `DefaultSchemaContext` and related builders to more easily build a context derived from an existing one. Added `TraceObjectManager.requireRootSchema()`. Added `TraceRegisterUtils.getRegisterContainer`, `getRegisterAddressSpace`, `getThread`, and `getFrameLevel`.
* _Debugger:Trace_. (GP-5926) Added `TraceReference.getToRange`. Added `TraceReferenceOperations.addMemoryReference(...AddressRange toRange...)`. Added `TraceReferenceOperations.getReference(...AddressRange toRange...)`. Added `TraceReferenceOperations.getReferencesToRange(...order)`.
* _Debugger:Watches_. (GP-5795) Added `WatchRow.get/setComment`.
* _Emulator_. (GP-5727) Added `SymZ3PcodeEmulator` and related.
* _Emulator_. (GP-5864) Added `EmulatorUtilities`.
* _Emulator_. (GP-5879) <B>Primary changes</B>: Added `PcodeEmulationCallbacks`, `PcodeStateCallbacks`, `ComposedPcodeEmulationCallbacks`. Added `Writer` and `TraceWriter`. Added `PieceHandler` and implementations for `byte[]`, `TaintVec`, and `SymValueZ3`. Added `TraceEmulationIntegration`. Added `DebuggerEmulationIntegration`. Deleted `TracePcodeMachine`, `DebuggerPcodeMachine` and all implementations. `PcodeMachine` is used with a `Writer`/callbacks instead. Deleted `TracePcodeExecutorStatePiece` and all implementations. `PcodeExecutorStatePiece` is used with callbacks instead. Deleted `AbstractDebuggerPcodeEmulatorFactory`. `EmulatorFactory` is used instead. Deleted `TraceEmulatorPartsFactory`, `DebuggerEmulatorPartsFactory` and all implementations. `EmulatorPartsFactory` is used instead. Changed constructor of `AbstractPcodeMachine` to require callbacks. Changed constructor of `AbstractLongOffsetPcodeExecutorStatePiece` and derivatives to require callbacks. Changed signature of `PcodeExecutorStatePiece.fork` to require callbacks. Changed signature of `EmulatorFactory.create` to accept a `Writer`. Changed signatures of several methods in `EmulatorPartsFactory` to accept callbacks. 
<BR><B>Secondary changes</B>: Added `PcodeTraceAccess.deriveForWrite(snap)`. Added `PcodeTracePropertyAccess.getEntry/put`. The `put` method is also modified to clear if `value` is null. Added `PcodeArithmetic.getDomain`. Added `PcodeExecutorStatePiece.streamPieces`. Added `AbstractPcodeExecutorState`. Added `PcodeExecutorStatePiece.get/setVarInternal`. Added `PcodeExecutorStatePiece.getNextEntryInternal`. Renamed `DebuggerPcodeEmulatorFactory` to `EmulatorFactory`. Changed signature of `PcodeDebuggerMemoryAccess.readFromStaticImages`. Several changes to `AbstractLongOffsetPcodeExecutorStatePiece` and its derivatives. See stock implementations for updates. In particular, removed all notion of "backing" including the type parameter `B`.
* _Emulator:JIT_. (GP-5214) Added `PcodeUseropDefinition.getOutputType()`. `AnnotatedPcodeUseropLibrary` allows `@PcodUserop` methods to take `int[]` parameters, including for the `@OpOutput` parameter.
* _FileSystems_. (GP-5825) Removed GFilesystem `LocalFileSystemSub` class.
* _FileSystems_. (GP-5842) Removed `throws IOException` from `ByteProvider.length()` method.
* _Graphing_. (GP-3648) The `CodeComparisonPanel` extension point has been renamed to `CodeComparisonViewer`.   Any clients subclassing `CodeComparisonPanel` will need to rename their parent class reference and also rename their extension to end with `CodeComparisonView` instead of `CodeComparisonPanel`.
* _GUI_. (GP-5769) Removed the `GhidraComboBox.setEnterKeyForwarding(boolean)` method.  Any clients calling this method with a value of `true` may simply delete the call to maintain the previous behavior,  Any clients calling this with a value of `false` will need to change how the combo box responds to `Enter` key presses in a way that preserves effect of not passing the `Enter` key press up to the parent container.
* _GUI_. (GP-5963) Added convenience methods to `TableColumnDescriptor` to create simple columns using only a name, column type, and a function to map from the row object to the column object.
* _Importer_. (GP-3947) Added `XmlElement.isStart(String string)`, which checks that the element is a starting element and also that its name matches the passed string.
* _Importer_. (GP-5343) The `Loader.load()` and `Loader.loadInto()` interface definitions have been simplified to take in a new `ImporterSettings` record.  The `Loader.getDefaultOptions()` definition has also been changed to accept a new `mirrorFsLayout` parameter.  These changes trickle down the loader class hierarchy, so all 3rd party loaders will need to be updated to work with Ghidra 12.0.
* _ProgramDB_. (GP-5498) Revised `ExternalManager` interface including removal of previously deprecated methods which have new method names.  The `getExternalLocations` now returns a `Set` of locations instead of a `List`.
* _ProgramDB_. (GP-5990) Eliminated the various forms of the `Listing.getCompositeData` method and associated map table from the Program database.  These methods were never used within Ghidra and were found to be the source of unnecessary overhead.For infrequent needs, a defined-data iterator can be used to identify locations where composites exist.  In addition, the following related Program and Trace events were eliminated: `ProgramEvent.COMPOSITE_ADDED`, `ProgramEvent.COMPOSITE_REMOVED`
`ChangeManager.DOCR_COMPOSITE_ADDED`, 
`ChangeManager.DOCR_COMPOSITE_REMOVED`,`ProgramEvent.COMPOSITE_ADDED`, `ProgramEvent.COMPOSITE_ADDED`.
* _Project_. (GP-3551) Made significant changes to `ProjectDataUtils` in support of folder and file links.  This utility's static methods should be used in place of directly instantiating `DomainFileIterator` or `DomainFolderIterator`.   Significant changes have been made to `ProjectData` storage and interface to accommodate expanded link-file support.  The `getFile` and `getFolder` methods have been overloaded with an optional filter to control treatment of such link-files where the pre-existing method forms will ignore external links.  Extensive changes have also been made to the Project Data Tree component which now has the ability to render and follow folder and file links.  Since a folder link exists as a `DomainFile`, and all link-files rely on unique content-types, additional logic is needed to follow such links.  `LinkFileInfo` can be obtained from a `DomainFile` although the use of `ProjectData` and `ProjectDataUtils` will simplify the use of link-files.
* _Scripting_. (GP-5737) Added a `GhidraScript.set()` method that takes a new `ScriptControls` object which provides more control over how scripts write to stdout and stderr.
* _Scripting_. (GP-5961) Deprecated `pyghidra.open_program` and `pyghidra.run_script`.

* _Importer:PE_. Fixed a regression that caused bad functions to be created in the middle of good functions in PE files with chained `IMAGE_FUNCTION_RUNTIME_ENTRY`s, and prevented some PE binaries from importing. (GP-5916, Issue #8414)
* _Importer:PE_. The `IMAGE_RESOURCE_DIRECTORY_ENTRY` data type is now correctly defined as a structure instead of a union. (GP-5935, Issue #8446)
* _PDB_. Fixed structure member issue, broken with 11.4 release, that could cause improper structure layout and Decompiler low-level errors. (GP-5928)

* _Scripting_. Added option to the RecoverClassesFromRTTIScript to not change vfunctions to thiscalls. (GP-5764, Issue #8163)
* _Scripting_. The new PyGhidra 2.2.1 no longer gets confused by the presense of a random `ghidra` or `java` directory on the current working directory. (GP-5810, Issue #8190)

### Bugs
* _Analysis_. The symbolic constant evaluation, `SymbolicPropogator`, has been changed to record pre/post values at the beginning and end of instructions by default.  This affected the `ResolveX86orX64LinuxSyscallsScript` and `GolangSymbolAnalyzer`. (GP-5804)
* _Analysis_. Fixed a potential infinite looping problem that could occur during MIPS or PPC constant analysis.  The issue could occur on undefined functions when __Assume T9 set to Function entry__ option is set. (GP-5833)

* _Debugger:Agents_. Provided additional `catch` methods for gdb. (GP-5466)
* _Debugger:Listing_. Support for 32-bit pointers on WoW64 targets is now added. The pointer size is automatically determined by the PE header of the module containing the PC. (GP-616, Issue #4127)
* _Debugger:Time_. Added actions to __Debugger__ menu to set the display radix for snapshot keys and time schedules. (GP-5523)
* _Importer_. Provided new loader for the `Unix A.out` binary file format. (GP-3182, Issue #4943, #5004)
* _Search_. Added new Search-and-Replace feature. This feature make it easy to globally rename many different types of program elements and update related comments. (GP-5310)

### Improvements
* _Accessibility_. Provided accessible names for most dialog components. (GP-4555)
* _Analysis_. Added support for Golang closures and generic functions.  Added support for applying function signatures to core Golang library functions that were captured and stored in API snapshot files. (GP-2432, Issue #6367)
* _Analysis_. Improved speed of constant reference analysis and stack analysis. (GP-4512)
* _Analysis_. Improved decompilation of Golang functions by eliminating compiler-generated boilerplate calls to internal garbage-collection functions. (GP-5373, Issue #7484)
* _Analysis_. Updated the IMAGE_RUNTIME_FUNCTION_ENTRY structure for x86 programs to change the EndAddress type from an ImageBaseOffset32 to a DWORD.  This helps prevent references and code from being incorrectly created at the address after each listed function. (GP-5430)
* _Analysis_. Improved how Golang interface methods are modeled. (GP-5455, Issue #7529)
* _Analysis_. The __Rust String Analyzer__ no longer clears and converts strings defined in the header to character arrays. (GP-5643, Issue #8019)
* _API_. Updated some Decompiler locations to better navigate the Listing. (GP-5453, Issue #7518)
* _Basic Infrastructure_. Upgraded 3rd party jars for Bouncy Castle, Apache Commons Compress, Apache Commons Lang3, Apache Commons IO, and JUnit. (GP-5631)
* _BSim_. The BSim `support/make-postgres.sh` script now runs on linux_arm_64 and mac_arm_64 platforms. (GP-5282, Issue #7287)
* _BSim_. Made BSim installed by default. (GP-5435)

* _Byte Viewer_. Byteviewer now centers the cursor on the screen when going to a new offscreen location instead of putting the cursor at the top or bottom. (GP-2148)
* _Calling Conventions_. Corrected specifications for parameter and return storage of homogeneous float aggregate types in AARCH64.cspec. Made a number of improvements and corrections to AARCH64_win.cspec. (GP-5192, Issue #8016)
* _Data Types_. Improved handling of datatype removal and the impact it can have within Structure and Union components.  Previously, affected components were removed, causing unknown loss of information.  With this change, components will be preserved with the use of a `BadDataType`, allowing their size and field names to be preserved.  Each affected component comment will also be updated to indicate the name of the datatype that was removed.  A similar situation for a Structure bit-field will revert its base datatype to an appropriate primitive integer type if it had been based upon a deleted Enum or Typedef. (GP-2949)
* _Data Types_. Fixed issue where a datatype node in the datatype tree had a stale tool tip if a datatype it contained was renamed. (GP-5434)

* _Debugger:Time_. Double-clicking or pressing `Enter` on a row in the __Time Selection__ dialog now confirms the dialog. (GP-5674)
* _Decompiler_. The Decompiler simplifies new situations where optimized code packs multiple variables into a single register. (GP-5240, Issue #7277)
* _Decompiler_. Updated Decompiler highlighting to ignore syntax tokens. (GP-5414, Issue #7527)
* _Decompiler_. Fixed a performance issue seen in the Decompiler when using a large number of custom global highlighters. (GP-5477, Issue #7520)
* _Decompiler_. Enabled optimizations for C++ source files when compiling native executables on Windows. (GP-5543, Issue #7953)
* _Decompiler_. Updated the Decompiler to now show a warning when executing DockingActions while the Decompiler is busy. (GP-5572, Issue #7893)

* _Importer:Mach-O_. Mach-O files contained within a Universal Binary container can now be directly imported without having to go through the File System Browser. Use the __Language__ field of the import dialog to select the architecture to import. (GP-5552)
* _Listing_. Changed Listing comment fields to now display offcut comments. Offcut comments are comments at addresses in the middle of an instruction or data item instead of at the start address. They are displayed in red to distinguish them from non-offcut comments. (GP-4037)
* _Navigation_. Added previously missing navigation history when using __Repeat Memory Search__ action. (GP-5440, Issue #7445)

* _Scripting_. Changed __In Tool__ option in the Script Manager table to automatically add actions to the global menu bar under a __Scripts__ menu if not already specified to be placed in another location specified by `@menupath`. (GP-5428)
* _Scripting_. Removed old prototype `GccAnalysisScript` since it is no longer maintained and has been long since replaced with the `RecoverClassesFromRTTIScript`. (GP-5451, Issue #7871)
* _Scripting_. PyGhidra can now open projects created with the Ghidra GUI by setting the `nested_project_location` optional parameter to `False`. (GP-5627, Issue #8040)

### Notable API Changes
* _API_. (GP-5458) `GhidraProject.openProject()` now throws `NotFoundException, NotOwnerException, LockException`.
* _API_. (GP-5591) Removed unused and unsupported `DataType.getDocs()` method.
* _Debugger_. (GP-2040) Deleted `AbstractAsyncServer`, `AsyncClaimQueue`, `AsyncLock`, `AsyncLoop`, `AsyncPairingCache`, `AsyncRace`, `AsyncSequence*`, `BitmaskSet`, `DebugByteChannel`, `TypeSpec` and related, without replacements.
* _Debugger_. (GP-3450) Added `UnwoundFrame.evaluate(Program, Varnode, AddressSetView)`.
* _Debugger_. (GP-5379) Most accessor methods on `TraceUniqueObject` derivatives now require a `snap` argument. For getters, this is the snap for which the value is sought. For setters, this implies the effect is from that snap onward. In most cases, the GUI's current snap is suitable. (The deprecated legacy-mode objects ignore the argument.) This required argument has cascaded throughout many other parts of the API: `DebuggerStaticMappingService`, `AutoMapSpec`, `MapProposal.MapEntry`, `DebuggerStaticMappingService`, `ProgramModuleIndexer`, `DebuggerObjectActionContext`, `DebugerSectionActionContext`, `BreakpointActionSet`, and `*EmuBreakpointActionItem`. Additionally, `getLifespan` and similar, including setters and "split-and-set," have been removed from most `TraceObjectUnique` derivatives. For cases where you need to check if the object is valid at a particular time, use `isValid(long)`. For cases where you need to enumerate (e.g., to plot) the life, use the underlying `TraceObject`. To truncate the life of an object, use `remove(long)`. For `TraceThread` in particular, the destruction snap is now considered part of its life, which is consistent with how every other object has been treated. Connectors should (and already have been) using `remove`, which sets the "destruction snap" to the one preceding the current.
* _Debugger:Agents_. (GP-4209) On the Python side: The ghidratrace package is now type-checked using mypy. As a result, the annotations used for the method registry now use `typing.Annotated` when parameters need additional description. `Client.create_trace()` now also requires a named parameter `extra`. On the Java side: Added `TraceTimeManager.findScratchSnapshot`. The trace-rmi protocol has also changed.
* _Debugger:Agents_. (GP-5538) Powershell is now supported as a debug launcher language on Windows.

Some `TargetObject` interfaces, e.g., `TargetDeletable`, do not have replacement `TraceObject` interfaces. Instead, they are implied by applicable `RemoteMethods`. Others, e.g., `TargetAccessConditioned`, are removed without replacement.  `DataType`- and `Symbol`-related objects are removed. They have not been used. If needed later, the intent is to provide rmi-based access to the trace's symbol table and data type manager. `TargetObjectSchema` is replaced by `TraceObjectSchema`. `TraceObjectKeyPath` is renamed `KeyPath`. `PathUtils` and many uses of `List<String>` have been replaced by `KeyPath`. `AnnotatedSchemaContext` and related are removed. `SshPtyFactory` and related are removed.
* _Emulator_. (GP-4643) Added `JitPcodeEmulator` and many, many related classes. `PcodeArithmetic`: changed `modBeforeStore` and `modAfterLoad` to include `AddressSpace` and `PcodeOp` parameters.  `SleighInstructionDecoder.decodeInstruction` now returns a `PseudoInstruction`. PcodeExecutor: added `getIntConst`, `getLoadStoreSpace`, `getLoadStoreOffset`, `getStoreValue`, `getBranchTarget`, `getConditionalBranchPredicate`, `getIndirectBranchTarget`, `getUseropName`, `getCallotherOpNumber`.
* _BSim_. (GP-5167) Changed BSim API to convey non-default username via the `BSimServerInfo` class or the `userinfo` field of postgres/elastic BSim URLs.  The user argument has been dropped to the `FunctionDatabase.changePassword` method which will always change the password for the connected user.   Renamed `FunctionDatabase.Error` class to `FunctionDatabase.BSimError` to avoid naming conflict with `java.lang.Error`.
* _Data Types_. (GP-3625) Added `FileDataTypeManager` static methods for creating a Data Type Archive with a specific processor and compiler specification.  Improved `CParserUtils` parse methods to separate the cases where parsing into an existing Data Type Manager versus parsing into a new Data Type Archive where a processor and compiler specification may specified.
* _Debugger:Listing_. (GP-5134) `DebuggerListingProvider#setAutoReadMemorySpec` and related no longer accept `LoadEmulatorAutoReadMemorySpec`. Added `AutoReadMemorySpec#getEffective`.
* _Decompiler_. (GP-5085) Updated `DecompileOptions` to remove the `getFunctionColor()` method. There is no replacement for this method as the function color is now being set in the Listing Settings menu and is coordinated across the Listing and Decompile panes.
* _Demangler_. (GP-4898) Within the `Demangler` interface, Ghidra 9.2-deprecated methods were removed, Ghidra 11.3-deprecations were set on other methods, and  new methods were created.  The new methods and much of the Demangler fabric now makes use of a `MangledContext` in place of a `String`.  This allows greater flexibility in controlling how symbols get demangled.  These changes have been reflected in abstract and non-abstract methods in `AbstractDemanglerAnalzyer`.  Users of deprecated methods within `Demangler` and `DemanglerUtil` should migrate to newer methods (see javadoc).
* _GUI_. (GP-5007) Added a new widget, the `docking.KeyEntryPanel`, as a drop-in replacement for clients using the `docking.KeyEntryTextField`.  This is not a required change.
* _GUI_. (GP-5196) The static method `evaluateToLong(String s)` in `AddressEvaluator` has been moved to a new class called `ExpressionEvaluator`. Also, the `AddressInput` field component has been changed to accept Programs instead of just an AddressFactory (which is still supported) so that any dialog using an `AddressInput` component can now accept symbol names, memory block names, and mathematical expressions.
* _Importer_. (GP-5208) GFileSystems now need to implement `lookup(path, comparator)`.   Classes that fail to provide an implementation will fall back to using `lookup(path)`, and an error will be logged.
* _Search_. (GP-4911) The API script method `findBytes()` no longer supports finding matches that span gaps in the memory blocks. The internal classes for performing memory searches were completely re-written in Ghidra release 11.2. In release 11.3, the old classes were removed and uses of them in the `findBytes()` method were replaced with the new memory search code. The new search API currently does not support matches that span non-contiguous memory and it isn't clear if that is actually useful; so for now, that method was deprecated and no longer finds matches in gaps even if the boolean is true. In the unlikely event someone actually uses this, please contact the Ghidra team.
* _Assembler_. (GP-5288) Added `AssemblyResolvedPatterns.withContext`.  Added `ContextCommit.getWordIndex` and `getMask`.
* _BSim_. (GP-1830) Dropped use of `json-simple` library in favor of `gson`.
* _Debugger_. (GP-5271) Added `TraceBreakpoint.isAlive(long snap)`.  Deprecated `TraceBreakpoint.getLifespan()`.  Added `TraceObject.isAlive(long snap)`.
* _Debugger:Listing_. (GP-5266) Renamed `DebuggerCoordinates.equalsIgnoreRecorderAndView` to `equalsIgnoreTargetAndView`.  Added `DebuggerCoordinates.differsOnlyByPatch`.  Added `TraceSchedule.differsOnlyByPatch`.  Added `Sequence.differsOnlyByPatch`.
* _Debugger:Memory_. (GP-5164) Renamed `DebuggerAddRegionDialog#setName` to `setPath`.

* _BSim_. Added BSim database `connect`/`disconnect` actions to BSim Server Manager. This will allow an idle connection to be disconnected without the need to exit Ghidra or removing a server entry, which, in the case of a local H2 database, will allow another process to use it. (GP-4867, Issue #6703)
* _Byte Viewer_. Extended HexInteger to other integral data types. (GP-4709, Issue #6658, #6659)
* _CodeCompare_. Added ability to add functions to the last function comparison window. (GP-4634)

* _Processors_. Added PSPEC label description tag and `addr="next"` which allows for a large number of contiguous labels placed at an address based on the previous label without specifying the exact address of each label. (GP-4742)
* _Processors_. Processor specs now accept the `volatile` attribute in  tags. (GP-4849, Issue #6755)
* _ProgramTree_. Updated the Program Tree default double-click behavior. Double-clicking now navigates instead of replacing the view. This can be changed in the tool options. (GP-4691)
* _Scripting_. GhidraScripts can now declare an `@runtime` metadata comment to specify which GhidraScriptProvider is required to run them (e.g., `Jython`). This will allow different GhidraScriptProviders that use the same script file extension (e.g., `.py`) to coexist. (GP-4706)
* _Scripting_. Improved `RecoverClassesFromRTTIScript` heuristics for determining class constructors and destructors. (GP-4764)
* _Scripting_. Changed `RecoverClassesFromRTTIScript` virtual function definitions from using the formal signature (i.e., no `this` param) to using `void *this` param. This will improve the Decompiler output while continuing to not force a particular class structure on the generic definition's `this` param. (GP-4812)
* _Scripting_. `RecoverClassesFromRTTIScript` now caches `vfunction` list in order to speed up processing. (GP-4863, Issue #6834)
* _Scripting_. Fixed a recursion issue in RecoverClassesFromRTTIScript. (GP-4865, Issue #6832, #6833)

* _Processors_. Corrected semantics of x86 `CMPPS` instruction. (GP-4772, Issue #6512)
* _Processors_. Added semantics for several x86 AVX instructions in use by GCC: `VCVTTSx2Sx`, `VDIVSx`, `VINSTERT128`, and `VEXTRACT128`. (GP-4776)
* _Processors_. Corrected semantics of x86 `PACKUSWB` instruction. (GP-4777, Issue #6514)
* _Processors_. Added missing float-to-integer cast operation, `trunc()`, to x86 `CVTSD2SI` instruction. (GP-4778, Issue #6513)
* _Processors_. Fixed aliasing issues in certain x86 SIMD instructions. (GP-4783, Issue #6524)
* _Processors_. Fixed incorrect `.sla` file reference in PPC e500mc processor specification. (GP-4826)

* _Scripting_. Added check in the `RecoverClassesFromRTTIScript` to make sure `ClassHierarchyDescriptor` symbols are in a non-Global namespace before trying to promote their namespace to a class namespace. If such symbols are found in the Global namespace it indicates potential issues with either the RTTI data or the processing of the RTTI data; in these cases, no class recovery will be done for the associated classes. (GP-4763, Issue #6704)
* _Scripting_. Fixed `NullPointerException` in `PropagateExternalParametersScript`. (GP-4883, Issue #6841)
* _Scripting_. Fixed CodeUnitInsertionException error in RecoverClassesFromRTTIScript.java script. (GP-4932, Issue #6848)

### Notable API Changes
* _Search_. (GP-4559)
The MemorySearchService has been changed. This had been a very specific service API created to support just one plugin and was not generally useful. The three existing methods have been consolidated into one method. The old service has been marked as deprecated and may be removed in future releases. If, in the unlikely event that anyone is using this service, please contact the Ghidra team to discuss your use case.
* _Data Types_. (GP-4949)
Added API method `Structure.setLength(int length)` which allows the size of a non-packed structure to be set.

Both of these behaviors can be turned off via the __Navigation__ tool options. (GP-3064)
* _GUI_. Added ability for default tool launch (e.g., project file double-click) to reuse existing tool instead of always launching a new tool. This behavior controlled via Project Window __Default Tool Launch Mode__ option. (GP-3080)

* _Analysis_. Removed duplicate references placed on different operands of instructions. (GP-3214)
* _Analysis_. Fixed issues related to analysis flag and how it affects asking the user to analyze a new program. (GP-3282)
* _Analysis_. By default, pointer-to-pointer analysis is turned off for ARM binaries in the Operand and Data Reference analyzers. This can result in fewer references created, and can be turned back on if your binaries use pointer data in memory instead of offset values from the current PC. (GP-3335)
* _API_. Fixed bug on pinned symbols when changing image base. (GP-3178, Issue #4290)
* _API_. Revised `ApplyFunctionSignatureCmd` to allow use where function should not get renamed when signature applied. (GP-3350)

* _CParser_. Fixed parsing of Windows `wdm.h` header file with multi-line strings passed as arguments to a macro. (GP-2809, Issue #4690)
* _CParser_. `CParser.parse(String)` method no longer throws an exception, and, when parsing a structure as a string, the return type will be the structure--not the last member of the structure. (GP-3183, Issue #4903)
* _CParser_. Removed `wchar_t` as a keyword when parsing header files. `wchar_t` will always use the built-in `wchar_t` datatype even if defined with a `typedef` within a header file. (GP-3215, Issue #5108)
* _CParser_. Fixed issue with CParser creating `#define` enum values if unsigned long is specified with parentheses around the value; for example, `#define X (4ul)`. (GP-3216, Issue #5069)
* _CParser_. Pressing __Cancel__ during parsing of header files is now more responsive. (GP-3284, Issue #5181)

* _CParser_. Fixed CParser issues with forward-declared Enums and typedefs used within the body of functions. (GP-3371, Issue #3526, #5271)
* _CParser_. `Enum` sizes are now set to the size of an `int` for the processor (formerly 4), and `enum`s from `#define`s are set to the the smallest `enum` size that will fit the number (formerly 8). Future change will add packed `enum` sizes. (GP-3385)
* _Data_. Corrected handling of zero-length components in the form of Listing DataComponent CodeUnits. These were incorrectly reporting a length of 0 instead 1; all Listing Data, including DataComponents, must report a positive non-zero length. (GP-3314)
* _Data Types_. Automatically created class structures now respect the __Preferred Root Namespace Category__ property. (GP-1123, Issue #3196)
* _Data Types_. Added support for floating-point data types to parse decimal string representation. A significant refactor of FloatFormat and BigFloat was completed. BigFloat is now used as the value class for all float data types. Introduced `DataType.getAlignedLength()` method which was needed to differentiate between the _raw_ encoding size and the _aligned_ (i.e., padded) size used by a compiler when allocating storage (i.e., `sizeof`). Example: for x86-32 gcc, 80-bit float has an aligned-length of 12-bytes which reflects compiler's `sizeof(long double)`. (GP-1379)
* _Data Types_. Corrected 80-bit floating point support to include decode, encode, and computation via the FloatFormat and BigFloat support classes. (GP-3022, Issue #4853)

* _Debugger:Trace_. Fixed a bug that allowed the user to undo a trace's initial transaction. This would lead to a subsequent `NullPointerException`. (GP-3213)
* _Debugger:Trace_. Fixed issue with __Undo__ not being effective immediately. (GP-3358)
* _Decompiler_. Fixed a Decompiler decoding error that occurred when a pre-comment contained a null character. (GP-3002, Issue #4836)
* _Decompiler_. Line breaks in Decompiler output can no longer disable a comment annotation. (GP-3029)

# Ghidra 10.0 Change History (June 2021)

### New Features
* _Debugger_. Introduced the Debugger, along with GDB and dbgeng.dll connectors for debugging user-mode applications on Linux and Windows, respectively. The UI includes threads, timeline, modules, memory, registers, watches, etc., for examining and controlling debug targets. See Help -> Contents -> What's New for more details. (GP-986)
* _Exporter_. For programs imported with the PE and ELF loaders, new exporters are available that write back to the original file layout. Any file-backed bytes that were modified by the user in the program database will be reflected in the written file (except on relocations). Writing back a modified Memory Map is not supported. (GP-786, Issue #1501, #1505, #19)
* _Graphing_. Added Graph -> Data  actions to the Code Browser, allowing visualization of specified pointer relationships in a graph. (GP-194)
* _Scripting_. Added prototype RecoverClassesFromRTTIScript and that uses RTTI information to enhance Ghidra's knowledge of class hierarchy, class member function types (constructors, destructors, deleting destructors, clones) and class member data. The script will label and put member functions into correct class namespace and apply new class structures created either using PDB information, if available, or Decompiler pcode information. (GP-339)
* _Scripting_. Added an example script, LocateMemoryAddressForFileOffset, to demonstrate mapping of a location in the original imported file to the program memory address. Useful for cases where the original file offset is known; for example, a YARA rule match. (GP-782)
* _Scripting_. Created a script to allow users to search for image base offsets to the current cursor location in 32-bit and 64-bit programs. (GP-863)

### Improvements
* _Analysis_. Function signatures, including return types and argument data types, are now decoded from CLI Metadata for .NET binaries. (GP-327)
* _Analysis_. Switched #Strings table processing from ASCII to UTF-8 for CIL binaries. (GP-330, Issue #423)
* _Analysis_. Added Constant, Assembly, and AssemblyRef blob processing for CIL binaries. (GP-465)
* _Analysis_. Added the Variadic Function Signature Override analyzer, which identifies functions that take a format string as a parameter and applies the correct signature override at each call site. (GP-516)
* _Analysis_. Added ability to save and easily reuse analysis options in customer-defined configurations. (GP-544, Issue #2182, #312)
* _Analysis_. Ghidra analysis is now aware of more PE/Windows non-returning functions. (GP-733, Issue #2111)
* _Analysis_. `ResolveX86orX64LinuxSyscallsScript` now properly marks non-returning syscalls. (GP-868, Issue #2761)
* _API_. Revised Structure and Union API, and associated editor, to eliminate the use of the terms Unaligned/Aligned in favor of a packing enablement designation. Also corrected various change notification issues which may improve archive synchronization and merge behavior. (GP-862, Issue #2681)
* _API_. Renamed `Datatype.isDynamicallySized()` to `DataType.hasLanguageDependantLength()` to avoid confusion. This method is used internally to differentiate between fixed-length types and those whose length is determined by the compiler specification's data organization (e.g., pointers). (GP-932)
* _Basic Infrastructure_. Improved error reporting when trying to launch Ghidra from the git repo without Eclipse having compiled it. (GP-815, Issue #2872)
* _Build_. Command `gradle -I gradle/support/fetchDependencies.gradle init` now downloads the Function ID datasets from the ghidra-data GitHub repository so they will be automatically included in development mode and custom builds. (GP-678, Issue #1007)
* _Build_. Performing a `gradle clean` no longer deletes downloaded dependencies. The top-level flatRepo directory has been replaced with the dependencies directory. (GP-811, Issue #1663)
* _Build_. Ghidra now requires Gradle 6.0 or later to build. Gradle 7.x is now supported. (GP-849, Issue #2949)
* _Build_. Made changes to gradle code to remove warnings. (GP-993, Issue #3039)
* _Data Types_. Added support for hexadecimal byte offset display within composite bitfield view. (GP-910, Issue #2959)
* _Decompiler_. Decompiler analysis now automatically identifies and displays loop variables using standard for-loop syntax. When a loop variable is discovered, a condition, iteration, and optional initializer statement are displayed at the top of the loop. (GP-565)
* _Decompiler_. Added the Max Instructions per Function Decompiler tool option, specifying the maximum number of instructions the Decompiler will decode in a single function before throwing an exception. Previously, this had been a hard-coded limit. (GP-767, Issue #2557)
* _Decompiler_. The Decompiler now propagates datatypes across signed comparison operations, so constant integer and enum values display correctly. (GP-802, Issue #2565)
* _Demangler_. Updated the GNU Demangler Analyzer options to provide a list of available formats from which to choose. (GP-94, Issue #2214)
* _Demangler_. Updated the GNU Demangler's Namespace-building to improve analysis performance. (GP-706, Issue #2509)
* _Demangler_. Improved Demangler error checking and reporting to give underlying cause of failure. (GP-850)
* _Documentation_. Added basic instructions on how to install, build, and develop Ghidra to README.md. (GP-847)
* _DWARF_. Improved speed and memory usage when importing large DWARF binaries. (GP-419)
* _DWARF_. Added M68000/SVR4 DWARF register mappings. (GP-556, Issue #1610)
* _DWARF_. Improved handling of zero-length structure components during DWARF processing. (GP-851, Issue #2191)
* _Exporter_. Made various improvements and bug fixes and to the IDA Pro exporter. (GP-831, Issue #1897, #2788, #2882, #2891)
* _FileSystems_. Added support for recognizing unencrypted DMG files. (GP-845)
* _Framework_. Added support for program-specific extensions to a compiler specification. Users can now define their own calling conventions and call-fixups to integrate into decompilation and other analysis (see help for Specification Extensions). (GP-653)
* _Graphing_. Added capability to collapse and expand nodes in the default graph display. (GP-371)
* _Graphing_. Upgraded jungrapht to version 1.1. (GP-377)
* _Graphing_. Refactored graph exporters into a more extensible framework. (GP-440)
* _Graphing_. Graph layout algorithms can now be chosen programmatically. (GP-551)
* _Graphing_. Created additional modified versions of the MinCross layout algorithms, all named to start with Vertical Hierarchical Min-Cross, so that they accept a favoredEdge predicate. When an edge is favored, a pass though the graph layers attempts to align those edges vertically. (GP-625)
* _Graphing_. Added an option to change the background color of the Function Graph window. (GP-760, Issue #1324)
* _Graphing_. Updated Function Graph edge routing when applying the Use Condensed Layout option to reduce edges being clipped by vertices. (GP-768)
* _Graphing_. Added option to disable the lightening of edges in the Function Graph. (GP-769, Issue #1106)
* _Graphing_. Added a distinct visual edge highlight beyond just a different color for graph edge selection. (GP-793, Issue #2953)
* _Graphing_. Added Display as Graph action to the Data Type Manager, allowing visualization of embedded and referenced types of the selected types. (GP-808)
* _Graphing_. Fixed function graph bug that prevented the satellite view from showing the primary view lens. Fixed a layout bug that allowed some vertices to get clipped when condensing the graph. (GP-940)
* _Graphing_. Added graph API method to set descriptions (tooltips) on vertices and edges. (GP-949)
* _Graphing_. Added Vertex and Edge attributes to GraphML export format. (GP-957, Issue #2958)
* _GUI_. Added new Copy Special actions: Python Byte String, Python List, and C Array. (GP-210, Issue #744)
* _GUI_. Updated the Listing to allow structure members to display Plate Comments. (GP-421, Issue #2091)
* _GUI_. Copy/Pasting and Dragging data types now uses a progress monitor. (GP-422, Issue #2379)
* _GUI_. Added right-click menu Data -> Save Image action to allow user to export embedded graphic resource images. (GP-426)
* _GUI_. Changed Symbol Comment Annotation to use the existing symbol when available. This allows for the direct navigation of that symbol's address instead of using the search feature of the Go To Service. (GP-675)
* _GUI_. Added the Shift-F10 keybinding to allow users to show the popup context menu over the currently focused item. The Menu Key can also be used on supporting keyboards. (GP-732, Issue #2790)
* _GUI_. Fixed/Improved the behavior of global menu items and toolbar items with respect to which windows they appear in. These actions can now easily be configured to be either 1) only in menu bar and tool bar of the main window, 2) in the menu bar and tool bar of all windows, or 3) only in the windows that have components that generate the type of context that the action consumes. Added methods to the ActionBuilder class to support these three options. Also, updated numerous actions to make sure they appear in the appropriate windows. (GP-759)
* _GUI_. Improved overall UI responsiveness when performing analysis with the Symbol Table open. (GP-788)
* _GUI_. Updated the Function Tags table column so that it may be used in most Ghidra tables. (GP-816, Issue #2873)
* _GUI_. Updated the Defined Strings view to reload less frequently during auto-analysis. (GP-835, Issue #2889)
* _GUI_. Updated function hovering in the Decompiler to find the correct function tooltip when multiple functions exist with the same name. (GP-959, Issue #2604)
* _Importer:ELF_. Added markup to ELF import for `.note.gnu.build-id` and `.gnu_debuglink` sections. (GP-468)
* _Importer:ELF_. Added ELF import support for SHN_MIPS_TEXT and SHN_MIPS_DATA symbol section index values and provided ability for other processor-specific ELF extensions to resolve ELF symbol memory addresses. (GP-664)
* _Importer:ELF_. Changed various ELF relocations to detect and mark unsupported data relocations which refer to the EXTERNAL block. Applied EXTERNAL data relocations, which have a non-zero offset from the external symbol, will still be incorrect but will have an error bookmark to flag the condition. The relocation addend will not be applied in this case to avoid references to a completely irrelevant symbol in the EXTERNAL block. (GP-1029)
* _Importer:Mach-O_. Improved support for Mach-O object files. (GP-700)
* _Importer:PE_. CustomAttrib blobs in CLI/.NET metadata are now decoded. (GP-414)
* _Importer:PE_. Created proper external references for PE Delay Load Imports. (GP-674, Issue #2554, #2623)
* _Importer:PE_. PeLoader can now read and interpret the `.pdata` section of PE files that include exception handling data. (GP-729)
* _Importer:PE_. Added .exports XML files for the mfc71.dll and mfc71u.dll libraries. Having them allows Ghidra to translate ordinal imports from applications compiled against MFC 7.1 (from Visual Studio .NET 2003) to class and function names with parameters. (GP-1010, Issue #3051)
* _Listing_. Improved Listing view performance, especially noticeable on functions with excessively large stack frames. (GP-268, Issue #109, #2351)
* _Listing_. Added a tool option to hide function auto-comments that appear, trailing a function call in the Listing. (GP-752)
* _PDB_. Improved Ghidra's ability to find and pull PDB files from symbol servers and symbol storage locations. (GP-42)
* _Processors_. Simplified PIC24 return instruction semantics. (GP-647)
* _Processors_. Added support for register alias specification within processor spec (*.pspec). Added `WREG` register aliases for PIC24 processor variants. (GP-901, Issue #2956)
* _Processors_. Fixed issue with the `PPAGE` register not being properly restored after `CALL` instructions in the HCS12 processor. (GP-920, Issue #1099)
* _Processors_. Fixed HCS12 `IDX1` addressing with negative immediate values. (GP-937, Issue #3008)
* _Processors_. Fixed V850 multiply-by-immediate calculation that produced an incorrect value when the fifth bit was set. (GP-939, Issue #2970)
* _References_. Improved performance of reference management for special cases when large a number of references from the same address exist (e.g., entry point designation). (GP-696)
* _Scripting_. ExportImageScript now exports all images within a user-selected region to files within a user-selected folder. (GP-231)
* _Scripting_. Improved TableChooserDialog, allowing multiple rows to be processed at once. (GP-676)
* _Scripting_. Updated the TableChooserDialog to allow clients to set the default column sort. (GP-792)
* _Scripting_. Added Python script comment block support. (GP-843, Issue #1484, #2846)
* _Scripting_. Added ApplyClassFunctionSignatureUpdatesScript and ApplyClassFunctionDefinitionUpdatesScript fix-up scripts that can be applied if a user makes changes to a virtual function recovered by the RecoverClassesFromRTTIScript. Both scripts identify differences between Function Signatures in the Listing and Function Definitions in the Data Type Manager, but the first script fixes all changes to match the signature and the second to match the definition. (GP-973, Issue #3081)
* _Sleigh_. Debug info for Sleigh constructors now includes source file names. (GP-233)
* _Sleigh_. The Sleigh compiler now issues a warning if it generates a temporary varnode which might be large enough to overlap another temporary varnode. (GP-520)
* _Sleigh_. While register names should remain case-sensitive within a Sleigh spec during compilation/parse, register names must not duplicate in a case-insensitive manner since the Program API provides a case-insensitive register lookup by name. The Sleigh Compiler now enforces this. (GP-927)

### Bugs
* _Analysis_. Fixed how managed code entry points in .NET binaries with CIL entry points are detected and labeled. (GP-319)
* _Analysis_. Can now process implementation-specific data structures for Microsoft CIL compilers. (GP-461)
* _Analysis_. Corrected processing for pointers, function pointers, custom modifiers, ValueTypes, static methods, MethodRefs, MethodDefs, and PInvokes found in .NET mixed binaries. (GP-656)

* _Analysis_. When OverlayAddressSpace was refactored and Decompiler made aware of it for Ghidra 9.2, the VarnodeContext was not aware of the overlays. This was fixed and should eliminate the NullPointerException caused when the Symbolic Propagator calls the Varnode constructor. (GP-751, Issue #2785, #2787)
* _Assembler_. Fixed assembler issue with delay-slotted instructions. (GP-587)
* _Assembler_. Fixed assemble Patch Instruction action to work on listings other than the primary static listing. (GP-623)

Fixed the following modal dialog issues: z-order changing when showing a modal dialog over a detached window; focusing the incorrect window after showing a modal dialog; script progress dialog not getting placed behind input dialog; script dialogs appearing over different windows. (GP-628, Issue #2398, #2480)
* _GUI_. Fixed NullPointerException encountered when creating a new category in the Data Types tree while the tree is filtered. (GP-745, Issue #2799)
* _GUI_. Fixed Right Alt key that did not work for Ghidra actions on some Windows systems. (GP-747, Issue #2008)

* _Importer:ELF_. Added support for additional PIC30 ELF relocations (4, 5, 6) and improved register symbol resolution and markup. (GP-710, Issue #2792)
* _Importer:ELF_. Changed processing of ELF absolute symbols (section ID 0xfff1) to treat them as constants by defining equates instead of memory symbols. (GP-902)
* _Importer:ELF_. Corrected EXTERNAL symbol alignment for PIC24, PIC30, PIC33 during ELF import. The improperly aligned symbol addresses would cause incorrect external symbol references to appear on instructions (e.g., `RCALL`). (GP-906)

* _Jython_. Fixed pasting multi-line strings into the Python interpreter panel. (GP-487, Issue #2456)
* _Listing_. A default thunk function now reflects the namespace of the thunked function similar to the way it reflects its name. This change also allows thunk functions of a `this_call` to have the correct `this` pointer parameter. Symbol table queries based upon name and/or namespace will always exclude default thunk functions. (GP-17)
* _Listing_. Fixed #US table processing to correctly interpret the string as UTF-16LE for CIL binaries. (GP-318)
* _Listing_. Fixed a sporadic listing operand hover stacktrace bug. (GP-987)

# Ghidra 9.2.3 Change History (March 2021)

### Improvements
* _Analysis_. Added check for vftable entries in `.NEP` section and relaxed the requirement that the code must have a return. (GP-649)
* _Analysis_. Corrected flaw in RTTI analyzer determination of size of vftables. (GP-688)
* _Basic Infrastructure_. Updated TLS protocol preference to use the most preferred/recent version available to both sides of an SSL connection (e.g., TLSv1.3) instead of forcing use of TLSv1.2. (GP-622)

# Ghidra 9.2.1 Change History (December 2020)

### Improvements
* _Analysis_. Updated RTTI analyzer to find `type_info` vftable when it cannot be found with its mangled name. This will enable many more Windows programs to have their RTTI structures created that were unable to be parsed in previous Ghidra versions. (GP-141)
* _API_. Relaxed memory block naming restrictions and restored ability to have spaces in memory block names. However, if a memory block is flagged as an overlay, the associated overlay space name may be modified to ensure validity and uniqueness. The DuplicateNameException has been removed from all memory block API methods since this was entirely an overlay space concern. Memory block GUI has also been changed eliminate the duplicate block name restriction. (GP-420, Issue #2465)
* _Build_. Eliminated the need for installation of bison and flex when performing source-based gradle build of Ghidra or the Decompiler module. The generated files are now included with source files and maintained in source control. A separate `gradle Decompiler:generateParsers` task, which still requires bison and flex, must be used, explicitly, when changes are made to lex/yacc source files. (GP-467)
* _Graphing_. Fixed issue with exporting graphs to DOT format due to invalid vertex IDs. (GP-280)
* _Graphing_. Improved graphing where it did not navigate when clicking on external function nodes. Now it will navigate to the fake function location in the program, which is the location of the pointer to the external function. (GP-493)
* _Listing:Symbols_. Removed restriction for naming labels that resemble default label names. (GT-3185, Issue #1057)
* _PDB_. Crafted PDB type ID records `0x1608` and `0x1609` with presumed class and struct types and follow-on application of these types. Also fixed up some fall-back data type logic and improved some warning messages to reflect the cause of the conditions. (GP-474, Issue #2523)
* _Scripting_. Removed unnecessary 1-second delay when launching a script. (GP-443)

### Bugs
* _Analysis_. Fixed the processing of CIL metadata that express arrays of non-primitive types. (GP-331)

* _Decompiler_. Fixed issue with the Auto Create/Fill Structure command that caused it to silently miss some pointer accesses. (GP-344)
* _Decompiler_. Jump table recovery now takes into account encoded bits, like ARM/THUMB mode transition, that may be present in address tables. (GP-387, Issue #2420)
* _Decompiler_. Fixed a bug in the Decompiler renaming action when applied to function references. (GP-477, Issue #2415)
* _Decompiler_. Corrected 8-byte return value storage specification in compiler-spec affecting `longlong` and `double` return values. Endianness ordering of `r0`/`r1` was incorrect. (GP-512, Issue #2547)
* _Graphing_. Fixed the Function Graph's drag-to-select-nodes feature. (GP-430)
* _Graphing_. Fixed issue where the graph in the satellite view is sometimes truncated. (GP-469)
* _Graphing_. Fixed a stack trace issue caused by reusing a graph display window to show a graph that is larger than is allowed. (GP-492)

* _Data Types_. Added mutability data settings (constant, volatile) for Enum datatype. (GT-3415)
* _Data Types_. Improved Structure Editor's Edit Component action to work on array pointers. (GP-205, Issue #1633)
* _Decompiler_. Added Secondary Highlights to the Decompiler. This feature allows the user to create a highlight for a token to show all occurrences of that token. Further, multiple secondary highlights are allowed at the same time, each using a unique color. See the Decompiler help for more information. (GT-3292, Issue #784)
* _Decompiler_. Added heuristics to the Decompiler to better distinguish whether a constant pointer refers to something in the CODE or DATA address space, for Harvard architectures. (GT-3468)
* _Decompiler_. Improved Decompiler analysis of local variables with small data types, eliminating unnecessary casts and mask operations. (GT-3525)
* _Decompiler_. Documentation for the Decompiler, accessible from within the Code Browser, has been rewritten and extended. (GP-166)
* _Decompiler_. The Decompiler can now display the namespace path (or part of it) of symbols it renders. With the default display configuration, the minimal number of path elements necessary are printed to fully resolve the symbol within the current scope. (GP-236)
* _Decompiler_. The Decompiler now respects the Charset and Translate settings for string literals it displays. (GP-237)
* _Decompiler_. The Decompiler's analysis of array accesses is much improved. It can detect more and varied access patterns produced by optimized code, even if the base offset is not contained in the array. Multi-dimensional arrays are detected as well. (GP-238, Issue #461, #1348)
* _Decompiler_. Extended the Decompiler's support for analyzing class methods. The class data type is propagated through the this pointer even in cases where the full prototype of the method is not known. The methods `isThisPointer()` and `isHiddenReturn()` are now populated in HighSymbol objects and are accessible in Ghidra scripts. (GP-239, Issue #2151)
* _Decompiler_. The Decompiler will now infer a string pointer from a constant that addresses the interior of a string, not just the beginning. (GP-240, Issue #1502)
* _Decompiler_. The Decompiler now always prints the full precision of floating-point values, using the minimal number of characters in either fixed point or scientific notation. (GP-241, Issue #778)
* _Decompiler_. The Decompiler's Auto Create Structure command now incorporates into new structures data-type information from function prototypes. The Auto Fill in Structure variant of the command will override undefined and other more general data-types with discovered data-types if they are more specific. (GP-242)
* _Demangler_. Modified Microsoft Demangler (MDMang) to handle symbols represented by MD5 hash codes when their normal mangled length exceeds 4096. (GT-3409, Issue #1344)
* _Demangler_. Upgraded the GNU Demangler to version 2.33.1. Added support for the now-deprecated GNU Demangler version 2.24 to be used as a fallback option for demangling. (GT-3481, Issue #1195, #1308, #1451, #1454)
* _Demangler_. The Demangler now more carefully applies information if generic changes have been made. Previously if the function signature had changed in any way from default, the demangler would not attempt to apply any information including the function name. (GP-12)
* _Demangler_. Changed MDMang so cast operator names are complete within the qualified function name, effecting what is available from internal API. (GP-13)
* _Demangler_. Added additional MDMang Extended Types such as `char8_t`, `char16_t`, and `char32_t`. (GP-14)
* _Documentation_. Removed Eclipse BuildShip instructions from the DevGuide. (GT-3634, Issue #1735)
* _FID_. Regenerated FunctionID databases. Added support for Visual Studio versions 2017 and 2019. (GP-170)
* _Function Diff_. Users may now add functions ad-hoc to existing function comparison panels. (GT-2229)

* _GUI_. Users can now view the Function Tag window to see all functions associated with a tag, without having to inspect the Listing. (GT-3054)
* _GUI_. Updated the Copy Special action to work on the current address when there is no selection. (GT-3155, Issue #1000)
* _GUI_. Significantly improved the performance of filtering trees in the Ghidra GUI. (GT-3225)
* _GUI_. Added many optimizations to increase the speed of table sorting and filtering. (GT-3226, Issue #500)
* _GUI_. Improved performance of bit view component recently introduced to Structure Editor. (GT-3244, Issue #1141)
* _GUI_. Updated usage of timestamps in the UI to be consistent. (GT-3286)
* _GUI_. Added tool actions for navigating to the next/previous functions in the navigation history. (GT-3291, Issue #475)

* _GUI_. Updated the Ghidra File Chooser so that users can type text into the list and table views in order to quickly jump to a desired file. (GT-3396)
* _GUI_. Improved the performance of the Defined Strings table. (GT-3414, Issue #1259)
* _GUI_. Updated Ghidra to allow users to set a key binding to perform an equivalent operation to double-clicking the `XREF` field in the Listing. See the Show Xrefs action in the Tool Options... Key Bindings section. (GT-3446)
* _GUI_. Improved mouse wheel scrolling in Listing and Byte Viewers. (GT-3473)
* _GUI_. Ghidra's action context mechanism was changed so that actions that modify the program are not accidentally invoked in the wrong context, thus possibly modifying the program in ways the user did not want or without the user knowing that it happened. This also fixed an issue where the navigation history drop-down menu did not represent the locations that would be used if the next/previous buttons were pressed. (GT-3485)
* _GUI_. Updated Ghidra tables to defer updating while analysis is running. (GT-3604)
* _GUI_. Updated Font Size options to allow the user to set any font size. (GT-3606, Issue #160, #1541)
* _GUI_. Added ability to overlay text on an icon. (GP-41)
* _GUI_. Updated Ghidra options to allow users to clear default key binding values. (GP-61, Issue #1681)
* _GUI_. ToggleDirectionAction button now shows in snapshot windows. (GP-93)
* _GUI_. Added a new action to the Symbol Tree to allow users to convert a Namespace to a Class. (GP-225, Issue #2301)
* _Importer_. Updated the XML Loader to parse symbol names for namespaces. (GT-3293)
* _Importer:ELF_. Added support for processing Android packed ELF Relocation Tables. (GT-3320, Issue #1192)

* _Importer:PE_. Improved parsing of Microsoft ordinal map files produced with `DUMPBIN /EXPORTS` (see Ghidra/Features/Base/data/symbols/README.txt). (GT-3235)
* _Jython_. Upgraded Jython to version 2.7.2. (GP-109)
* _Listing_. In the PCode field of the Listing, accesses of varnodes in the `unique` space are now always shown with the size of the access. Fixed bug which would cause the PCode emulator to reject valid pcode in rare instances. (GP-196)
* _Listing:Data_. Improved handling and display of character sequences embedded in operands or integer values. (GT-3347, Issue #1241)
* _Multi-User:Ghidra Server_. Added ability to specify initial Ghidra Server user password (`-a0` mode only) for the svrAdmin add and reset commands. (GT-3640, Issue #321)
* _Processors_. Updated AVR8 ATmega256 processor model to reflect correct memory layout specification. (GT-933)
* _Processors_. Implemented semantics for `vstmia/db` `vldmia/db`, added missing instructions, and fixed shift value for several instructions for the ARM/Thumb NEON instruction set. (GT-2567)
* _Processors_. Added the XMEGA variant of the AVR8 processor with general purpose registers moved to a non-memory-mapped register space. (GT-2909)
* _Processors_. Added support for x86 `SALC` instruction. (GT-3367, Issue #1303)
* _Processors_. Implemented pcode for 6502 `BRK` instruction. (GT-3375, Issue #1049)
* _Processors_. Implemented x86 `PTEST` instruction. (GT-3380, Issue #1295)
* _Processors_. Added missing instructions to ARM language module. (GT-3394)
* _Processors_. Added support for `RDRAND` and `RDSEED` instructions to x86-32. (GT-3413)
* _Processors_. Improved x86 breakpoint disassembly. (GT-3421, Issue #872)
* _Processors_. Added manual index file for the M6809 processor. (GT-3449, Issue #1414)
* _Processors_. Corrected issues related to retained instruction context during a language upgrade. In some rare cases this retained context could interfere with the instruction re-disassembly. This context-clearing mechanism is controlled by a new pspec property: `resetContextOnUpgrade`. (GT-3531)
* _Processors_. Updated PIC24/PIC30 index file to match latest manual. Added support for dsPIC33C. (GT-3562)
* _Processors_. Added missing call-fixup to handle call side-effects for 32 bit GCC programs for `get_pc_thunk.ax/si`. (GP-10)

* _Sleigh_. Error messages produced by the SLEIGH compiler have been reformatted to be more consistent in layout as well as more descriptive and more consistent in providing line number information. (GT-3174)

### Bugs
* _Analysis_. Function start patterns found at 0x0, function signatures applied from the Data Type Manager at 0x0, and DWARF debug symbols applied at 0x0 will no longer cause stack traces. In addition, DWARF symbols with zero length address range no longer stack trace. (GT-2817, Issue #386, #1560)
* _Analysis_. Constant propagation will treat an OR with zero (0) as a simple copy. (GT-3548, Issue #1531)
* _Analysis_. Corrected Create Structure from Selection, which failed to use proper data organization during the construction process. This could result in improperly sized components such as pointers and primitive types. (GT-3587)
* _Analysis_. Fixed an issue where stored context is initializing the set of registers constantly. (GP-25)
* _Analysis_. Fixed an RTTI Analyzer regression when analyzing RTTI0 structures with no RTTI4 references to them. (GP-62, Issue #2153)
* _Analysis_. Fixed an issue where the RTTI analyzer was not filling out RTTI3 structures in some cases. (GP-111)
* _API_. Fixed NullPointerException when attempting to delete all bookmarks from a script. (GT-3405)
* _API_. Updated the Class Searcher so that Extension Points found in the Ghidra/patch directory get loaded. (GT-3547, Issue #1515)
* _Build_. Updated dependency fetch script to use HTTPS when downloading CDT. (GP-69, Issue #2173)
* _Build_. Fixed resource leak in Ghidra jar builder. (GP-342)
* _Byte Viewer_. Fixed Byte Viewer to correctly load the middle-mouse highlight color options change. (GT-3471, Issue #1464, #1465)
* _Data Types_. Fixed decoding of static strings that have a character set with a smaller character size than the platform's character size. (GT-3333, Issue #1255)
* _Data Types_. Correctly handle Java character sets that do not support the encoding operation. (GT-3407, Issue #1358)
* _Data Types_. Fixed bug that caused Data Type Manager Editor key bindings to get deleted. (GT-3411, Issue #1355)
* _Data Types_. Updated the DataTypeParser to handle data type names containing templates. (GT-3493, Issue #1417)
* _Data Types_. Corrected pointer data type `isEquivalent()` method to properly check the equivalence of the base data type. The old implementation could cause a pointer to be replaced by a conflicting pointer with the same name whose base datatype is not equivalent. This change has a negative performance impact associated with it and can cause additional conflict datatypes due to the rigid datatype relationships. (GT-3557)
* _Data Types_. Improved composite conflict resolution performance and corrected composite merge issues when composite bitfields and/or flexible arrays are present. (GT-3571)
* _Data Types_. Fixed bug in SymbolPathParser naive parse method that caused a less-than-adequate fall-back parse when angle bracket immediately followed the namespace delimiter. (GT-3620)
* _Data Types_. Corrected size of `long` for AARCH64 per LP64 standard. (GP-175)
* _Decompiler_. Fixed bug causing the Decompiler to miss symbol references when they are stored to the heap. (GT-3267)
* _Decompiler_. Fixed bug in the Decompiler that caused `Deleting op with descendants` exception. (GT-3506)
* _Decompiler_. Decompiler now correctly compensates for integer promotion on shift, division, and remainder operations. (GT-3572)
* _Decompiler_. Fixed handling of 64-bit implementations of alloca_probe in the Decompiler. (GT-3576)
* _Decompiler_. Default Decompiler options now minimize the risk of losing code when renaming or retyping variables. (GT-3577)
* _Decompiler_. The Decompiler no longer inherits a variable name from a subfunction if that variable incorporates additional data-flow unrelated to the subfunction. (GT-3580)
* _Decompiler_. Fixed the Decompiler Override Signature action to be enabled on the entire C-code statement. (GT-3636, Issue #1589)
* _Decompiler_. Fixed frequent ClassCast and IllegalArgument exceptions when performing Auto Create Structure or Auto Create Class actions in the Decompiler. (GP-119)
* _Decompiler_. Fixed a bug in the Decompiler that caused different variables to be assigned the same name in rare instances. (GP-243, Issue #1995)
* _Decompiler_. Fixed a bug in the Decompiler that caused `PTRSUB off of non-pointer type` exceptions. (GP-244, Issue #1826)
* _Decompiler_. Fixed a bug in the Decompiler that caused load operations from volatile memory to be removed as dead code. (GP-245, Issue #393, #1832)
* _Decompiler_. Fixed a bug causing the Decompiler to miss a stack alias if its offset was, itself, stored on the stack. (GP-246)
* _Decompiler_. Fixed a bug causing the Decompiler to lose Equate references to constants passed to functions that were called indirectly. (GP-247)
* _Decompiler_. Addressed various situations where the Decompiler unexpectedly removes active instructions as dead code after renaming or retyping a stack location. If the location was really an array element or structure field, renaming forced the Decompiler to treat the location as a distinct variable. Subsequently, the Decompiler thought that indirect references based before the location could not alias any following stack locations, which could then by considered dead. As of the 9.2 release, the Decompiler's renaming action no longer switches an annotation to `forcing` if it wasn't already. A retyping action, although it is `forcing`, won't trigger alias blocking for atomic data-types (this is configurable). (GP-248, Issue #524, #873)
* _Decompiler_. Fixed decompiler memory issues reported by a community security researcher. (GP-267)
* _Decompiler_. Fix for Decompiler error: `Pcode: XML comms: Missing symref attribute in <high> tag`. (GP-352, Issue #2360)
