# What's new? Check the latest changes in the Hex-Rays documentation, including new tutorials and manuals, along with significant revisions to existing content. ## August 2025 ### Domain API Documentation Resources The easy-to-use [Domain API](https://ida-domain.docs.hex-rays.com/) is our newly released, Pythonic interface for developing IDA plugins and scripts. To help you get up and running quickly with this open-source API, we’ve prepared a set of documentation resources: * [Getting Started Guide](https://ida-domain.docs.hex-rays.com/getting_started/), including installation and first steps * [Real-life Code Examples](https://ida-domain.docs.hex-rays.com/examples/) * [Domain API Reference](https://ida-domain.docs.hex-rays.com/usage/) #### Not sure if the Domain API is right for you? If you're new to the Domain API, start with our [FAQ](/9.1/developer-guide/domain-api.md) to see how it compares with existing approaches and whether it suits your needs. ## June 2025 ### Revamped Subviews Overview We refreshed and updated the [Subviews](/9.1/user-guide/user-interface/menu-bar/view/open-subviews.md) listing and overview. ## March 2025 ### Improved IDC Reference We've refined the experience for the [IDC Reference](https://idc.docs.hex-rays.com) documentation. Starting now, you can explore it just like the IDAPython and C++ SDK references. To improve searchability and usability, we've moved the IDC function lists to a dedicated site. Meanwhile, conceptual documentation, such as core concepts, remains under the Developer Guide. ### License Server on WSL – New Guide We updated our Admin Guide with a step-by-step tutorial on how to [configure the license server on WSL](/9.1/admin-guide/license-server/license-server-on-wsl.md), making it easier for Windows users to set up and manage the Hex-Rays server for floating licenses. ## February 2025 ### Debugger Tutorials – revamped and expanded * The local [Linux Debugger](/9.1/user-guide/debugger/local-debugging/linux-debugger.md) and [WinDbg Debugger](/9.1/user-guide/debugger/local-debugging/windbg-debugger.md) tutorials have been revamped for clarity and updated. * A brand-new [WinDbg Time Travel Debugging (TTD)](/9.1/user-guide/debugger/local-debugging/windbg-ttd.md) tutorial has been added, covering installation, setup and essential commands. ### License management command line options The `-Olicense` command line switch is now documented as a part of the [license manager](/9.1/user-guide/user-interface/license-manager.md#license-management-command-line-options). ## January 2025 ### New Floating Licenses User Guide We've introduced a [Floating Licenses User Guide](/9.1/user-guide/floating-licenses.md), that explains core concepts such as **seats allocation, checking out, and borrowing licenses**. ## December 2024 ### Updated Porting Guides With the recent changes to our API that came into life with SP1 for IDA 9.0, we updated Porting Guides for [IDAPython](/9.1/developer-guide/idapython/idapython-porting-guide-ida-9.md) and [C++ SDK](/9.1/developer-guide/c++-sdk/c++-sdk-porting-guide-ida-9.md). ### New IDAPython examples With the new or reworked IDAPython examples that were added to our [examples library](/9.1/developer-guide/idapython/idapython-examples.md), we revamped the examples categories to make the navigation among them more intuitive. Take a look at the new [Working with types](/9.1/developer-guide/idapython/idapython-examples.md#types) category for samples that utilize our updated Types endpoints. ### Revamped IDAPython reference We updated the UI layout of [IDAPython Reference Documentation](https://python.docs.hex-rays.com/) and improve cross-referencing. ## November 2024 ### Other updates * To reflect the current state of Local Types window as a one hub to all types-related operations, we updated the [Subviews](/9.1/user-guide/user-interface/menu-bar/view/open-subviews.md). ## October 2024 With IDA 9.0, we changed how the Hex-Rays documentation is organized and added new guides and tutorials to kickstart your IDA journey and ease the migration from previous IDA versions. ### New Structure Our docs are divided into three main categories: * [**User Guide**](/9.1/user-guide.md), dedicated to individual users and covering whole IDA products (including add-ons, like Teams and Lumina). Most of the documentation regarding IDA, like manuals or tutorials, is currently accessible under the User Guide. * [**Developer Guide**](/9.1/developer-guide.md), which focuses on developer's needs, covers the reference and contextual documentation for **IDAPython API** and **C++ SDK**, as well as native **IDC** language. This part is mainly dedicated to plugin authors and devs interested in enhancing basic IDA capabilities with our development kit or scripting. * [**Admin Guide**](/9.1/admin-guide.md) mainly focuses on administrators installing and managing servers for Teams and Lumina or floating licenses. In [**Archive**](/9.1/archive.md), we gathered docs with rather historical value that some of you may still find interesting but focused on previous versions of IDA. ### New Getting Started Guides We prepared a [Getting Started](/9.1/getting-started.md) section for IDA newbies and also gathered additional materials to help you find your way around our [IDAPython API](/9.1/developer-guide/idapython/idapython-getting-started.md) or [IDA SDK](/9.1/developer-guide/c++-sdk/c++-sdk-getting-started.md). ### Migration and Porting Guides For those familiar with previous versions of IDA, we prepared Porting Guides for [IDAPython](/9.1/developer-guide/idapython/idapython-porting-guide-ida-9.md) and [C++ SDK](/9.1/developer-guide/c++-sdk/c++-sdk-porting-guide-ida-9.md). If you use the Flexera server for floating licenses, check our [Migration Guide for new Hex-Rays license server](/9.1/admin-guide/license-server/hex-rays-license-server-migration-guide.md). ### New features described We added installation and setup guides for [IDA Feeds](/9.1/user-guide/plugins/plugins-shipped-with-ida/ida-feeds.md) plugin and [idalib](/9.1/user-guide/idalib.md). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
