Thu Aug 25 14:00:00 2016 meissnerAATTsuse.com
- Version 2.32b:
- Added a check for AFL_HARDEN combined with AFL_USE_
*SAN. Suggested by Hanno Boeck.
- Made several other cosmetic adjustments to cycle timing in the wake of the big tweak made in 2.31b.
- Version 2.31b:
- Changed havoc cycle counts for a marked performance boost, especially
with -S / -d. See the discussion of FidgetyAFL in:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/afl-users/fOPeb62FZUg
While this does not implement the approach proposed by the authors of
the CCS paper, the solution is a result of digging into that research;
more improvements may follow as I do more experiments and get more
definitive data.
- Version 2.30b:
- Made minor improvements to persistent mode to avoid the remote
possibility of \"no instrumentation detected\" issues with very low
instrumentation densities.
- Fixed a minor glitch with a leftover process in persistent mode.
Reported by Jakub Wilk and Daniel Stender.
- Made persistent mode bitmaps a bit more consistent and adjusted the way
this is shown in the UI, especially in persistent mode.
- Version 2.29b:
- Made a minor #include fix to llvm_mode. Suggested by Jonathan Metzman.
- Made cosmetic updates to the docs.
- Version 2.28b:
- Added \"life pro tips\" to docs/.
- Moved testcases/_extras/ to dictionaries/ for visibility.
- Made minor improvements to install scripts.

generate dictionary entries that can help extend coverage.
- Moved libdislocator to its own dir, added README.
- The demo in experimental/instrumented_cmp is no more.
- Version 2.26b:
- Made a fix for libdislocator.so to compile on MacOS X.
- Added support for DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES.
- Renamed AFL_LD_PRELOAD to AFL_PRELOAD.
- Version 2.25b:
- Made some cosmetic updates to libdislocator.so, renamed one env
variable.
- Version 2.24b:
- Added libdislocator.so, an experimental, abusive allocator. Try
it out with AFL_LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libdislocator.so when running
afl-fuzz.
- Version 2.23b:
- Improved the stability metric for persistent mode binaries. Problem
spotted by Kurt Roeckx.
- Made a related improvement that may bring the metric to 100% for those
targets.
- Version 2.22b:
- Mentioned the potential conflicts between MSAN / ASAN and FORTIFY_SOURCE.
There is no automated check for this, since some distros may implicitly
set FORTIFY_SOURCE outside of the compiler\'s argv[].
- Populated the support for AFL_LD_PRELOAD to all companion tools.
- Made a change to the handling of ./afl-clang-fast -v. Spotted by
Jan Kneschke.

Spotted by Daniel Komaromy and others.

something is built under afl-gcc / afl-clang / afl-clang-fast
and enable custom optimizations in your code. Suggested by
Pedro Corte-Real.

allow AFL to be built as a library. This is fairly use-specific
