Read MoreIntended audience IDA 6.9 users on Mac OS X, who have suffered seemingly-apparent crashes while using IDA. The problem The Qt 5.4.1 libraries shipped with IDA 6.9 suffer from the following bug: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-44708, which was apparently fixed in Qt 5.5.0.

Recently, one of our customers asked us whether there was a way to generate HTML files for multiple functions all at once. I […]
