This is still considered beta and will require to manually export files from Ghidra in order to bindiff them.</li> <li>Binary Ninja: A BinExport plugin for Binary Ninja is included. This is still considered beta. Use the third-party <a href="https://github.com/PistonMiner/binaryninja-bindiff-viewer">BD Viewer</a> or export manually to bindiff files.</li> <li>Function names are now exported in <code>.BinDiff</code> result files, making post-processing easier</li> <li>Improved speed in native BinExport plugins. Exporting from IDA Pro and Binary Ninja is up to 30% faster compared to BinDiff 6.</li> <li>User interface: Shipping with updated Java runtime based on JDK 16 on all platforms, including Linux</li> <li>User interface: Better HiDPI support on all platforms</li> <li>Installation packages: disassembler plugins are now symlinked into per-user plugin directories instead of being copied into the target disassembler installation.</li> <li>User configuration now uses JSON format, making future changes easier and fixes some long-standing serialization issues.</li> <li>macOS: Notarized binaries/package compatible with macOS 11 "Big Sur"</li> <li>macOS: Universal Binaries supporting ARM64 (aka "Apple Sillicon") and x86-64</li> <li>Fixed a security issue where a specially crafted .BinExport file could lead to an out-of-bounds memory access. Thanks to Mickey Jin of Trend Micro Mobile Security Research Team for the report.</li> </ul> cblichmann
