The IDA 9.4 Beta is here, and we would love your help putting it through its paces. This build brings a major overhaul of Apple shared-cache analysis, new processors, decompiler upgrades, and a lot more. Your feedback during the beta directly shapes the quality of the final release.
New Apple Dyld Shared Cache infrastructure. A completely overhauled approach to analyzing Dyld Shared Caches, with dedicated widgets, specialized workflows and actions, seamless navigation between cache components, and improved analysis.
Decompiler. Swift ABI recognition lands in the decompiler and type system, and strings recovered during decompilation now show up automatically in the Strings list. You also get call-site argument name hints, collapsible code blocks, and a new "Edit type" action.
New processor modules. A brand-new Qualcomm Hexagon (QDSP6) disassembler paired with a Qualcomm MBN boot-image loader, plus a new MCore / CSky V1 module.
More architecture support. ARM SVE2 and SME are now fully disassembled, RISC-V gains Hazard3 (RP2350), compressed Zcmp / Zcmt / Zclsd, and Soteria extensions, and TriCore sees broad improvements.
Pathfinder and a redesigned Xrefs Graph. The new Pathfinder widget (Shift-F9) finds call paths between functions, and the Xrefs Graph has been redesigned around a new graph manager. Jump Anywhere is now the default "g" shortcut.
Git-based Teams server. Teams add-on for IDA Pro can now version databases through your own Git server instead of the proprietary Vault, and new IDB deep links let you share a location without shipping files around.
Scripting and API. A unified "Scripts" window replaces the old Execute script and Snippets dialogs, and a new IDA Domain API release (v0.5.0) adds microcode and pseudocode access plus object store and retrieve APIs.
Native ARM64 Windows build. IDA now ships as a native build for Windows-on-ARM.
Beyond these, 9.4 adds compilation-unit folders in the Functions list, RISC-V debugging via the GDB backend, faster loading of large DWARF files and shared caches, and a long list of bug fixes.
