IDA 9.0.20241216 (SP1) December 19, 2024
This Service Pack of IDA 9.0 focuses on bugfixes, along with IDAPython API and SDK enhancements, introducing new, simplified endpoints. You can download the latest IDA installer from .
We streamlined the IDA Feeds plugin execution and resolved issues with loading when idalib could not be located or was not correctly installed. Last but not least, we delivered UI enhancements to make the plugin experience more intuitive.

Take a look at the
Complete IDA Feeds changelist:
added undo/redo context menu options for standalone app
allow running the plugin without having to install and configure the idapro python module
fall back to sequential probing when rpyc module is not available
fill the already applied signatures on plugin initialization
various usability and performance improvements
We've added several helpers to improve the user experience using our APIs. These new endpoints, among other things, streamline managing and operating on types.
In the spirit of further improving accessibility & usage of our API, we also:
We've also added support for Python 3.13.
IDAPython / SDK changes:
addded support for Python 3.13
added tinfo_t convenience constructors
tinfo_t(c_decl:str) (to parse a C type definition)
tinfo_t(ordinal=N:int) to fetch by ordinal
tinfo_t(name=N:str) to fetch by name
tinfo_t(tid=N:int) to fetch by tid_t
added tinfo_t.add_edm to simplify building enumerations
added tinfo_t.add_udm convenience methods
added tinfo_t.get_udm (either by name, or by index)
added tinfo_t.get_udm_by_offset
added tinfo_t iterators, for easy member manipulation:
tinfo_t.iter_struct
tinfo_t.iter_union
tinfo_t.iter_udt
tinfo_t.iter_enum
added til_t.get_named_type and til_t.get_numbered_type, making it more idiomatic to retrieve types from a library
added til_t.named_types and til_t.numbered_types generators
added udt_type_data_t.get_best_fit_member
added convenience funcarg_t constructors
added convenience udm_t constructors
added convenience edm_t constructor
added many new examples of using core API functions into examples/types/
added empty() method to udt member type (udm_t) and enum constant type (edm_t)
func_type_data_t now defaults to CM_CC_UNKNOWN calling convention
added append() and extend() to all qvector-based types
added get_process_options2 to retrieve the list of environment variables
the displayhook now uses __repr__, and not __str__, to print information
expose get_undo_action_label(), get_redo_action_label()
expose needed functions for checking if a file is a startup signature
Complete UI changelist:
do not offer to apply startup signatures by default
local types: allow adding comments on gaps by creating a dummy field automatically
local types: enabled "Remove gap" action on padding bytes at the end of fixed layout struct
local types: removed "repeatable" checkbox from the comment form since all such comments are repeatable
installer: install defs.h header with decompiler helpers into include/
kernel: added new parameters REGTRACK_MAX_XREFS, REGTRACK_MAX_BBLK_INSNS, REGTRACK_MAX_VALS to limit tracking in complex binaries
licensing: show the number of floating license seats available in the "License manager" dialog
lumina: improved the lumina_server's --recreate-schema help text
BUGFIX: decompiler: fixed multiple interrs

BUGFIX: decompiler: in rare cases a goto label would be misplaced
BUGFIX: decompiler: refresh_ctext() would not refresh the function name if it was renamed

BUGFIX: DWARF: fixed interr 2766 during debugger session
BUGFIX: DWARF: bitfield members could be missing in types imported from binaries with DWARF5 debug info
BUGFIX: eh34: make exception blocks boundaries more precise
BUGFIX: elf: deliberately misleading info about section headers could confuse IDA
BUGFIX: IDA Free/Home: fix misleading message when opening .idb files
BUGFIX: ida_feeds: fixed mismatch in number of matchess when probing vs applying
BUGFIX: ida_feeds: popup menu action was not displayed before running plugin once
BUGFIX: idalib: a program using the C++ idalib API could crash on Windows
BUGFIX: idalib: fixed crash when calling open_database() multiple times without closing
BUGFIX: idalib: python activation script was not working with relative paths in Python 3.8
BUGFIX: idalib: write informational messages to the default logging location instead of the console
BUGFIX: IDAPython: Hexrays_Hooks.collect_warnings was not usable
BUGFIX: IDAPython: IDP_Hooks.ev_get_abi_info was not usable
BUGFIX: IDAPython: set_process_options() could not be used to set environment variables for debugging
BUGFIX: IDAPython: using mop_t.make_insn could result in a double-free, and crash IDA
BUGFIX: IDC: appcall could report an error instead of the function's return value
BUGFIX: IDT: fixed potential crash when parsing corrupted ids files
BUGFIX: installer: IDA Free for Linux was missing the local debugger
BUGFIX: kernel: index comments for arrays inside structures would be wrong
BUGFIX: kernel: fix stack overflow when parsing some incomplete types

BUGFIX: kernel: parsing an ill-formed type could crash IDA
BUGFIX: kernel: tinfo_t::get_innermost_udm() could crash with division by 0 if zero-sized members were present
BUGFIX: kernel: TID was not preserved for renamed enum constant
BUGFIX: lumina_server: the server could reject creating of new users in case local authentication was used
BUGFIX: lumina_server: the -L argument (to point at a license file) was not honored
BUGFIX: makesig: "Create SIG file..." could lead to IDA exiting on some binaries
BUGFIX: merge: merging of a large fixed structure whith a small one was buggy
BUGFIX: PC: disabling "Locate and create jump tables" analysis option was not honored by the processor module
BUGFIX: PyQt5: IDA could crash or exit with iterr 1442 when using PyQt5 on Linux with Python 3.12
BUGFIX: teams: vault_server could crash at the initialization or login time if it failed to open the sqlite database
BUGFIX: UI: .wasm files were not listed in the "Open file" dialog by default
BUGFIX: UI: IDA could fail to rename stack frame members from the disasembly view
BUGFIX: UI: it was not possible to select the first line in hex view if it did't start on 16-alined address
