Release 0.1.0
v0.1.0
Today, we're shipping our first release, Rizin 0.1.0 🚀.
It has been a long ride and we're thankful to all the developers who contributed to Rizin and decided to stick with us. We couldn't have done it without you all.
We're so excited to bring you the first release of Rizin, which is the opening shot of the project and only the beginning. The release is packed with new and robust features. We now have Projects and a plethora of commands switched to our new unified command parser.
Below, you'll find a complete and comprehensive list of what's new and what has changed.
On this first release of Rizin, we put our efforts in refactoring and discarding parts of the code that are not the focus of Rizin as a reverse engineering framework, and those which were unpurposed, outdated or left as proof of concepts. Along with this refactoring, we improved the building and packaging process (see more in our "Why Meson" blog post). Apart from that, the two biggest changes are new, actually working Projects (see more in our "Introducing new Projects" blog post) and migration of many commands and auto-completion feature to the "newshell" (a tree-sitter-based commands parser) which is now set to default. Some of the unnecessary commands were removed, some commands and configuration variables were changed to pursue a better user experience and to smooth the learning curve.
See the more detailed list of the changes below:
-
New features
- New Projects implementation from scratch - see more at our blog: "Introducing Projects"

(seek silent) subcommands were removed in favour of the new eval varcfg.seek.silent
, that is accepted by all seek commands.e?

(eval list). Other commands that listed evals in different formats (e*
,ej
, etc.) were moved underel
.e,

andevj

andelJ
.ed
was removed since there can be multiple configuration filese
won't accept spaces when assigning a value to a variable.e asm.bytes = true
is not valid anymore, whilee asm.bytes=true
is. This allows the command to support multiple arguments easily, likee asm.bytes=true asm.arch=x86
.- The commands converted to newshell do not accept the syntax without a space between the command name and the argument anymore, in favor of a more rigid approach that splits them, similar to what's done by other shells (e.g.
s+3
,z-zigname
won't work anymore)
- Misc
- Commands that provide different output modes are grouped together
- Commands are defined through a YAML file that describe the command, its arguments, a summary and a longer description.
- The help tree structure is automatically computed based on the YAML definition. For each command, arguments and sub-options in the help are automatically printed most of the times.
- Commands converted to newshell:
-
New commands
opr
,opn
to open next file andopp
to open previous fileLp
to list parser pluginsom.j
for JSON output ofom.
to show the map for the current offsetaecb
to continue backwards in ESIL emulation mode- Add
rz-ax -I
option to convert from/to LONG and IP address
-
Configuration variables' changes
cfg.newshell.autocompletion
to enable/disable autocompletion based on newshell data. This uses the information provided in cmd_descs.yaml to know the type of each argument. Those info are the same used by the shell to know how many arguments a command accepts. It supports autocompletion of all the arguments of a command, not just the first. However it works only for commands converted to newshell and it is currently disabled by defaultcfg.seek.silent
when true, seek commands do not save seek movements in the seek historycfg.seek.histsize
maximum size of the seek historyasm.bytes
set to false by default- Set
asm.tabs
to 6 and enableasm.tabs.once
by default - Rename
asm.filter
toasm.sub.names
- Add
analysis.cc
andanalysis.syscc
to set the current calling convention and syscall convention, remove hardcoded conventions zign.{graph,bytes,offset,refs,hash,types}
moved tozign.match.

Refactoring
- SDB switched to use submodule instead of embedding into the repository
- Tree-sitter runtime switched to use submodule instead of embedding into the repository
- Most of the JSON printing migrated to the PJ API
- Extract subprocess API used in
rz-test
to RzUtil, as a preliminary step in re-using those API for all code paths that interact with a child process - Reduce coupling between RzCore and Tasks
- Move seek history processing from RzIO to RzCore
- Refactoring to reduce code duplication of all binutils-based disassembly and assembly plugins (CRIS, HPPA, Lanai, MIPS, PPC, SPARC plugins)
- Remove global variables from
rz-find
tool - Set C99 as the minimum required C standard supported. C99 standard has been used to compile SDB for many years, so we are now just taking full advantage of the standard in the whole project.
- Code style is unified and automated with
clang-format
tool, seesys/clang-format.py
script. - License headers updated to use SPDX machine-friendly format
- Use
meson dist
to create the source tarball and refactor building release artifacts and corresponding CI logic
-
Assembly improvements
- New PowerPC assembly plugin (
asm.ppc
)
- New PowerPC assembly plugin (

Analysis improvements
The basic blocks module was completely rewritten resulting in speed and analysis quality improvements for all supported architectures.
Detection of the changes upon write and and refreshing the function graph.
Improved UTF-16 strings autodetection
Added ESIL sign extension operator
