Frida 16.6.2 Released ∞

release

13 Jan 2025

Another round of improvements and fixes to enhance Frida’s stability and performance, thanks to invaluable feedback from @mrmacete. Here’s what’s new in this release:

gumjs: Fix crash in Module finalizers by deferring unref using an idle source. This avoids issues caused by our QuickJS suspend/resume patch not supporting usage from finalizers, and also avoids the overhead of suspending/resuming JS execution during high-volume module destruction. A better long-term solution will involve introducing a ModuleObserver to manage Module lifecycles and emit signals when modules are added or removed.
module: Speed up NativeModule lifecycle by using a single lock for all Module objects. This change improves performance and will be revisited once the GLib static allocation cleanup patch is enhanced to use a more suitable data structure for mutex tracking.
