Beta Release of 2.7

EasyHook 2.7 brings support for .NET 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010 and no longer requires assemblies to be registered into the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) to support remote injection (although GAC registration is still supported).

The EasyHook.IEntryPoint now supports method overloads for the constructor and Run() method. A matching constructor and Run() method must be defined with the same parameters for each overload.

Please report any bugs in the discussion forum or in the issue tracker.

Release binaries for .NET 3.5 and .NET 4.0 are included in the binaries package.

The source package is available (r70785) for debugging purposes (see below for build instructions).

Documentation

The documentation for EasyHook 2.6 is currently attached to this release while the new documentation is completed. Most concepts remain unchanged since 2.6 however keep in mind that some things may have changed slightly.

I am endeavouring to have this documentation updated ASAP.

Donations

Donations are greatly appreciated. If you find EasyHook useful, or are feeling generous and would like to make a donation to this project, we accept donation's via PayPal :)



Change log:

• .Net 4.0 / Visual Studio 2010 - Implemented support for injection without using GAC registration or administrator privileges and added support for .NET 4.0 GAC interaction using managed GAC wrapper for InstallAssemblies/UninstallAssemblies
• Eliminate GAC usage requirement - registration in the GAC is now longer a requirement to support injection
• Memory leaks - fixed minor memory leak
• Some programs hang during exit when hooked/EasyHook frozes terminating application - fixed target freezing when closing
• Relocating entry point - added support for short unconditional jumps
• Implement LhGetInstructionLength stub - implemented a new instruction length decoder (supports larger opcode set)
• No GAC - passing complex object as inject parameter - support passing complex objects as parameters to EasyHook.IEntryPoint (even if not using GAC)
• Support method overload in IEntryPoint - allows more flexibility when implementing EasyHook.IEntryPoint classes
• Added build configurations for .NET 3.5 and .NET 4.0 allowing targeted builds for either framework version.
• Added MSBuild script to build all configurations and prepare release packages
• Build output path has been changed to ".\Build\Configuration\Platform\". E.g. ".\Build\netfx4-Debug\x64\"

Building from source:
Requires Visual Studio 2010 to compile.

A MSBuild script has been included for easy building of all configurations (e.g. if you require a debug build just use the build.bat in the Source package). For additional instructions see README.txt and read the section on how to compile.
