Description Sebastian Parschauer 2015-06-30 12:59:14 UTC 
The scanmem/GameConqueror version 0.13 is completely outdated (more than 4 years old) and contains tons of bugs. At upstream we can't support this version any more as development speed stepped up.

This is why we recommend to update to v0.15.2. We've optimized performance so that we scan in half the time than before. Memory alignment trouble on ARM systems is fixed. We've fixed all the nasty bugs in the GUI making it working with Python 3 as good as with Python 2. While testing we've found and fixed more bugs affecting both.
We have a couple of cool new features like ASLR/PIC/PIE, Android and endianness support.

Furthermore, Google-Code is closing. So upstream is now located on GitHub:

Please pick up version v0.15.2:

New version has been added to the tree. Now python versions 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4 are supported.
