--------------
Version 1.05b:
--------------
- Added a dictionary for WebP.
- Made some additional performance improvements to minimize_corpus.sh.
--------------
Version 1.04b:
--------------
- Made substantial performance improvements to minimize_corpus.sh with
large datasets, albeit at the expense of having to switch back to bash
(other shells may have limits on array sizes, etc).
- Tweaked afl-showmap to support the format used by the new script.
--------------
Version 1.03b:
--------------
- Added code to skip README.txt in the input directory to make the crash
exploration mode work better. Suggested by Jakub Wilk.
- Added a dictionary for SQLite.
--------------
Version 1.02b:
--------------
- Reverted the ./ search path in minimize_corpus.sh because people did
not like it.
- Added very explicit warnings not to run various shell scripts that
read or write to /tmp/ (since this is generally a pretty bad idea on
multi-user systems).
- Added a check for /tmp binaries and -f locations in afl-fuzz.
--------------
Version 1.01b:
--------------
- Added dictionaries for XML and GIF.
--------------
Version 1.00b:
--------------
- Slightly improved the performance of minimize_corpus.sh, especially on
Linux.
- Made a couple of improvements to calibration timeouts for resumed scans.
--------------
Version 0.99b:
--------------
- Fixed minimize_corpus.sh to work with dash, as suggested by Jakub Wilk.
- Modified minimize_corpus.sh to try locate afl-showmap in $PATH and ./.
The first part requested by Jakub Wilk.
- Added support for afl-as --version, as required by one funky build
script. Reported by William Robinet.
--------------
Version 0.98b:
--------------
- Added a dictionary for TIFF.
- Fixed another cosmetic snafu with stage exec counts for -x.
- Switched afl-plot to /bin/sh, since it seems bashism-free. Also tried
to remove any obvious bashisms from other experimental/ scripts,
most notably including minimize_corpus.sh and triage_crashes.sh.
Requested by Jonathan Gray.
--------------
Version 0.97b:
--------------
- Fixed cosmetic issues around the naming of -x strategy files.
- Added a dictionary for JPEG.
- Fixed a very rare glitch when running instrumenting 64-bit code that makes
heavy use of xmm registers that are also touched by glibc.
--------------
Version 0.96b:
--------------
- Added support for extra dictionaries, provided testcases/_extras/png/
as a demo.
- Fixed a minor bug in number formatting routines used by the UI.
- Added several additional PNG test cases that are relatively unlikely
to be hit by chance.
- Fixed afl-plot syntax for gnuplot 5.x. Reported by David Necas.
--------------
Version 0.95b:
--------------
- Cleaned up the OSX ReportCrash code. Thanks to Tobias Ospelt for help.
- Added some extra tips for AFL_NO_FORKSERVER on OSX.
- Refreshed the INSTALL file.
--------------
Version 0.94b:
--------------
- Added in-place resume (-i-) to address a common user complaint.
- Added an awful workaround for ReportCrash on MacOS X. Problem
spotted by Joseph Gentle.
--------------
Version 0.93b:
--------------
- Fixed the link() workaround, as reported by Jakub Wilk.
--------------
Version 0.92b:
--------------
- Added support for reading test cases from another filesystem.
Requested by Jakub Wilk.
- Added pointers to the mailing list.
- Added a sample PDF document.
--------------
Version 0.91b:
--------------
- Refactored minimize_corpus.sh to make it a bit more user-friendly and to
select for smallest files, not largest bitmaps. Offers a modest corpus
size improvement in most cases.
- Slightly improved the performance of splicing code.
--------------
Version 0.90b:
--------------
- Moved to an algorithm where paths are marked as preferred primarily based
on size and speed, rather than bitmap coverage. This should offer
noticeable performance gains in many use cases.
- Refactored path calibration code; calibration now takes place as soon as a
test case is discovered, to facilitate better prioritization decisions later
on.
- Changed the way of marking variable paths to avoid .state metadata
inconsistencies.
- Made sure that calibration routines always create a new test case to avoid
hypothetical problems with utilities that modify the input file.
- Added bitmap saturation to fuzzer stats and plot data.
- Added a testcase for JPEG XR.
- Added a tty check for the colors warning in Makefile, to keep distro build
logs tidy. Suggested by Jakub Wilk.
