Frida 15.1.17 Released

Frida 15.1.17 Released ∞

release

10 Feb 2022

One notable improvement in this release is that Java.backtrace() got a major overhaul. It is now lazy and >10x faster. I have also refined its API, which is now considered stable.

While working on frida-java-bridge, I optimized how Env objects are handled, so we can recycle an existing instance if we already have one for the current thread.

The remaining goodies are covered by the changelog below, so definitely check it out.

Enjoy!
