Change Logs

5.7.1

  • Add command runtime to generate runtime package separately
  • Add the first character as alias for command obfuscate, licenses, pack, init, config, build
  • Fix cross platform obfuscating scripts don’t work issue (#136). This bug should be exists from v5.6.0 to v5.7.0 Related target platforms armv5, android.aarch64, ppc64le, ios.arm64, freebsd, alpine, alpine.arm, poky-i586

5.7.0

There are 2 major changes in this version:

  1. The runtime files are saved in the separated folder pytransform as package:

    dist/
        obf_foo.py
    
        pytransform/
            __init__.py
            license.lic
            pytransform.key
            ...
    

Upgrade notes:

  • If you have generated new runtime file “license.lic”, it should be copied to dist/pytransform other than dist/

  • If you’d like to save the runtime files in the same folder with obfuscated scripts as before, obfuscating the scripts with option package-runtime like this:

    pyarmor obfuscate --package-runtime=0 foo.py
    pyarmor build --package-runtime=0
    
  1. The bootstrap code must be in the obfuscated scripts, and it must be entry script as obfuscating.

Upgrade notes:

  • If you have inserted bootstrap code into the obfuscated script dist/foo.py which is obfuscated but not as entry script manually. Do it by this command after v5.7.0:

    pyarmor obfuscate --no-runtime --exact foo.py
    
  • If you need insert bootstrap code into plain script, first obfuscate an empty script like this:

    echo "" > pytransform_bootstrap.py
    pyarmor obfuscate --no-runtime --exact pytransform_bootstrap.py
    

    Then import pytransform_bootstrap in the plain script.

Other changes:

  • Change default value of project attribute package_runtime from 0 to 1
  • Change default value of option –package-runtime from 0 to 1 in command obfuscate
  • Add option –no-runtime for command obfuscate
  • Add optioin –disable-restrict-mode for command licenses

5.6.1

  • The command download will check the version of dynamic library to be sure it works with the current PyArmor.

5.6.0

In this version, new private capsule, which use 2048 bits RSA key to improve security for obfucated scripts, is introduced for purchased users. All the trial versions still use one same public capsule which use 1024 bits RSA keys. After purchasing PyArmor, a keyfile which includes license key and private capsule will be sent to customer by email.

For the previous purchased user, the old private capsules which are generated implicitly by PyArmor after registered PyArmor still work, but maybe not supported later. Contact jondy.zhao@gmail.com if you’d like to use new private capsule.

The other changes:

  • Command register are refined according to new private capsule

Upgrade Note for Previous Users

There are 2 solutions:

  1. Still use old license code.

It’s recommanded that you have generated some customized “license.lic” for the obfuscated scrips and these “license.lic” files have been issued to your customers. If use new key file, all the previous “license.lic” does not work, you need generate new one and resend to your customers.

Actually the command pip install –upgrade pyarmor does not overwrite the purchased license code, you need not run command pyarmor register again. It should work, you can check it by run pyarmor -v.

Or in any machine in which old version pyarmor is running, compress the following 2 files to one archive “pyarmor-regfile.zip”:

  • license.lic, which locates in the installed path of pyarmor
  • .pyarmor_capsule.zip, which locates in the user HOME path

Then register this keyfile in the new version of pyarmor

pyarmor register pyarmor-regfile.zip
  1. Use new key file.

It’s recommanded that you just obfuscate the scripts, and do not issue customized “license.lic” to your customers.

Forward the purchased email received from MyCommerce to jondy.zhao@gmail.com, and the new key file will be sent to the registration email, no fee for this upgrading.

5.5.7

  • Fix webui bug: raise “name ‘output’ is not defined” as running packer

5.5.6

  • Add new restrict mode 2, 3 and 4 to improve security of the obfuscated scripts, refer to Restrict Mode
  • In command obfuscate, option –restrict supports new value 2, 3 and 4
  • In command config, option –disable-restrict-mode is deprecrated
  • In command config, add new option –restrict
  • In command obfuscate the last argument could be a directory

5.5.5

  • Win32 issue: the obfuscated scripts will print extra message.

5.5.4

  • Fix issue: the output path isn’t correct when building a package with multiple entries
  • Fix issue: the obfuscated scripts raise SystemError “unknown opcode” if advanced mode is enabled in some MacOS machines

5.5.3

  • Fix issue: it will raise error “Invalid input packet” to import 2 independent obfuscated packages in 64-bit Windows.

5.5.2

  • Fix bug of command pack: the obfuscated modules aren’t packed into the bundle if there is an attribute _code_cache in the a.pure

5.5.1

  • Fix bug: it could not obfuscate more than 32 functions in advanced mode even pyarmor isn’t trial version.
  • In command licenses, the output path of generated license file is truncated if the registration code is too long, and all the invalid characters for path are removed.

5.5.0

  • Fix issue: Warning: code object xxxx isn’t wrapped (#59)
  • Refine command download, fix some users could not download library file from pyarmor.dashingsoft.com
  • Introduce advanced mode for x86/x64 arch, it has some limitations in trial version
  • Add option –advanced for command obfuscate
  • Add new property advanced_mode for project

A new feature Advanced Mode is introduced in this version. In this mode the structure of PyCode_Type is changed a little to improve the security. And a hook also is injected into Python interpreter so that the modified code objects could run normally. Besides if some core Python C APIs are changed unexpectedly, the obfuscated scripts in advanced mode won’t work. Because this feature is highly depended on the machine instruction set, it’s only available for x86/x64 arch now. And pyarmor maybe makes mistake if Python interpreter is compiled by old gcc or some other C compiles. It’s welcome to report the issue if Python interpreter doesn’t work in advanced mode.

Take this into account, the advanced mode is disabled by default. In order to enable it, pass option –advanced to command obfuscate. But in next minor version, this mode may be enable by default.

Upgrade Notes:

Before upgrading, please estimate Python interpreter in product environments to be sure it works in advanced mode. Here is the guide

https://github.com/dashingsoft/pyarmor-core/tree/v5.3.0/tests/advanced_mode/README.md

It is recommended to upgrade in the next minor version.

Pyarmor v3.4 introduces a group new commands. For a simple package, use command obfuscate to obfuscate scripts directly. For complicated package, use Project to manage obfuscated scripts.

Project includes 2 files, one configure file and one project capsule. Use manifest template string, same as MANIFEST.in of Python Distutils, to specify the files to be obfuscated.

To create a project, use command init, use command info to show project information. config to update project settings, and build to obfuscate the scripts in the project.

Other commands, benchmark to metric performance, hdinfo to show hardware information, so that command licenses can generate license bind to fixed machine.

All the old commands capsule, encrypt, license are deprecated, and will be removed from v4.

A new document [src/user-guide.md](src/user-guide.md) is written for this new version.

3.3.1

  • Remove unused files in distribute package

3.3.0

In this version, new obfuscate mode 7 and 8 are introduced. The main difference is that obfuscated script now is a normal python file (.py) other than compiled script (.pyc), so it can be used as common way.
