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.

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 still 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 have not yet issued any 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

  • 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.

3.4.0

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.

Refer to https://github.com/dashingsoft/pyarmor/blob/v3.3.0/src/mechanism.md

  • Introduce new mode: 7, 8
  • Change default mode from 3 to 8
  • Change benchmark.py to test new mode
  • Update webapp and tutorial
  • Update usage
  • Fix issue of py2exe, now py2exe can work with python scripts obfuscated by pyarmor
  • Fix issue of odoo, now odoo can load python modules obfuscated by pyarmor

3.2.1

  • Fix issue: the traceback of an exception contains the name “<pytransform>” instead of the correct module name
  • Fix issue: All the constant, co_names include function name, variable name etc still are in clear text. Refer to https://github.com/dashingsoft/pyarmor/issues/5

3.2.0

From this version, a new obfuscation mode is introduced. By this way, no import hooker, no setprofile, no settrace required. The performance of running or importing obfuscation python scripts has been remarkably improved. It’s significant for Pyarmor.

  • Use this new mode as default way to obfuscate python scripts.
  • Add new script “benchmark.py” to check performance in target machine: python benchmark.py
  • Change option “–bind-disk” in command “license”, now it must be have a value

3.1.7

  • Add option “–bind-mac”, “–bind-ip”, “–bind-domain” for command “license”
  • Command “hdinfo” show more information(serial number of hdd, mac address, ip address, domain name)
  • Fix the issue of dev name of hdd for Banana Pi

3.1.6

  • Fix serial number of harddisk doesn’t work in mac osx.

3.1.5

  • Support MACOS

3.1.4

  • Fix issue: load _pytransfrom failed in linux x86_64 by subprocess.Popen
  • Fix typo in error messge when load _pytransfrom failed.

3.1.3

A web gui interface is introduced as Pyarmor WebApp, and support MANIFEST.in

  • In encrypt command, save encrypted scripts with same file structure of source.
  • Add a web gui interface for pyarmor.
  • Support MANIFEST.in to list files for command encrypt
  • Add option –manifest, file list will be written here
  • DO NOT support absolute path in file list for command encrypt
  • Option –main support format “NAME:ALIAS.py”

3.1.2

  • Refine decrypted mechanism to improve performance
  • Fix unknown opcode problem in recursion call
  • Fix wrapper scripts generated by -m in command ‘encrypt’ doesn’t work
  • Raise ImportError other than PytransformError when import encrypted module failed

3.1.1

In this version, introduce 2 extra encrypt modes to improve performance of encrypted scripts.

  • Fix issue when import encrypted package
  • Add encrypted mode 2 and 3 to improve performance
  • Refine module pyimcore to improve performance

3.0.1

It’s a milestone for Pyarmor, from this version, use ctypes import dynamic library of core functions, other than by python extensions which need to be built with every python version.

Besides, in this version, a big change which make Pyarmor could avoid soure script got by c debugger.

  • Use ctypes load core library other than python extentions which need built for each python version.
  • “__main__” block not running in encrypted script.
  • Avoid source code got by c debugger.
  • Change default outoupt path to “build” in command “encrypt”
  • Change option “–bind” to “–bind-disk” in command “license”
  • Document usages in details

2.6.1

  • Fix encrypted scripts don’t work in multi-thread framework (Django).

2.5.5

  • Add option ‘-i’ for command ‘encrypt’ so that the encrypted scripts will be saved in the original path.

2.5.4

  • Verbose tracelog when checking license in trace mode.
  • In license command, change default output filename to “license.lic.txt”.
  • Read bind file when generate license in binary mode other than text mode.

2.5.3

  • Fix problem when script has line “from __future__ import with_statement”
  • Fix error when running pyarmor by 32bit python on the 64bits Windows.
  • (Experimental)Support darwin_15-x86_64 platform by adding extensions/pytransform-2.3.3.darwin_15.x86_64-py2.7.so

2.5.2

  • License file can mix expire-date with fix file or fix key.
  • Fix log error: not enough arguments for format string

2.5.1

  • License file can bind to ssh private key file or any other fixed file.

2.4.1

  • Change default extension “.pyx” to “.pye”, because it confilcted with CPython.
