With the v6 release we added a new update mechanism called Auto-Sync. This is a huge step for Capstone, because it allows for easy module updates, easier addition of new architectures, easy features addition and guarantees less faulty disassembly.

This release adds a huge amount of new architectures, extensions, bug fixes and quality of life improvements.

Almost all the work was sponsored by RizinOrg. This release would have simply not happened without them.

The developers with the biggest contributions were (alphabetically):

There are also multiple smaller additions

And of course there were many more improvements done by other contributors, which add to the release just as the ones above. For a full list of all the developers, please see the below.

With all that said, we hope you enjoy the new release!
