We’re excited to announce the release of Frida 17.2.7, featuring significant improvements to our Package Manager.

package-manager: Improve resolution and hoisting to mimic npm’s behavior more closely. Co-authored with @hsorbo. Thanks for your help!
package-manager: Add install() option for role, achieving the equivalent of npm install’s --save-* switches.
package-manager: Add install() option for omits, to achieve the equivalent of npm install’s --omit=x switch.
package-manager: Improve handling of optional packages.
package-manager: Handle file modes when extracting on non-Windows systems.
package-manager: Fix the has_install_script logic to also take preinstall and postinstall scripts into account.
meson: Clarify Vala build system instructions. The Vala README only mentioned autotools instructions, and when Vala is compiled that way the -frida suffix is not added to the version string, causing the frida-core check for Vala to fail. We now clarify that Vala needs to be built from source with Meson. Thanks to @grimler for pointing this out!
