I am pleased to announce the release of Frida 16.7.1! In this release, we’ve been busy improving support across various architectures and fixing some tricky bugs. A big thank you to @jpstotz and @philippmao for their valuable contributions!

Key highlights include:

fruity: Fixed Input/Output Error on Windows by skipping devices with an empty UDID. (Thanks to @jpstotz)
droidy: Added support for more than ~8 ADB-connected devices by increasing the message size limit. (Thanks to @philippmao)
thumb-relocator: Improved success rate when hooking tiny functions produced by modern toolchains on Android by utilizing LLD alignment padding in can_relocate().
thumb-relocator: Restricted padding detection by ensuring the last instruction is on a four-byte boundary and is a two-byte instruction.
module-registry: Fixed hooking of tiny ELF notifiers by populating the registry before hooking, allowing CodeAllocator to locate a nearby ELF-header.
ci: Added arm64be, armbe8, and armhf-musl to the Linux CI.
env: Enabled generation of Thumb code on 32-bit ARM for smaller binaries.
linux: Added pthread probing for musl on 32-bit ARM.
build: Fixed armhf triplet parsing for musl.
devkit: Also defined GUM_STATIC for the Gum devkit so the consumer doesn’t have to define it.
devkit-assets: Modernized the Gum examples.
compiler: Bumped @types/frida-gum to 18.8.1.

As always, happy hacking!
