Description Manuel Rüger (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2017-01-30 08:11:16 UTC
--------------
Version 2.38b:
--------------

  - Added -mllvm -sanitizer-coverage-block-threshold=0 to trace-pc-guard
    mode, as suggested by Kostya Serebryany.

--------------
Version 2.37b:
--------------

  - Fixed a typo. Spotted by Jakub Wilk.

  - Fixed support for make install when using trace-pc. Spotted by
    Kurt Roeckx.

  - Switched trace-pc to trace-pc-guard, which should be considerably
    faster and is less quirky. Kudos to Konstantin Serebryany (and sorry
    for dragging my feet).

    Note that for some reason, this mode doesn't perform as well as
    "vanilla" afl-clang-fast / afl-clang.

--------------
Version 2.36b:
--------------

  - Fixed a cosmetic bad free() bug when aborting -S sessions. Spotted
    by Johannes S.

  - Made a small change to afl-whatsup to sort fuzzers by name.

  - Fixed a minor issue with malloc(0) in libdislocator. Spotted by
    Rene Freingruber.

  - Changed the clobber pattern in libdislocator to a slightly more
    reliable one. Suggested by Rene Freingruber.

  - Added a note about THP performance. Suggested by Sergey Davidoff.

  - Added a somewhat unofficial support for running afl-tmin with a
    baseline "mask" that causes it to minimize only for edges that
    are unique to the input file, but not to the "boring" baseline.
    Suggested by Sami Liedes.

  - "Fixed" a getPassName() problem with never versions of clang.
    Reported by Craig Young and several other folks.

  Yep, I know I have a backlog on several other feature requests.
  Stay tuned!

@mrueg, I know that hanno does the bump when there is a substantial change.
Comment 2 Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2017-02-06 21:09:28 UTC
I've bumped to 2.39b.

I've usually always skipped a few bumps in the past, because sometimes afl releases come within days. But I think it's been long enough to justify a new one.
