pyarmor v6.2.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-05-18 // almost 4 years ago

  • In this version, super mode is introduced to improve the security. In this mode the structure of PyCode_Type is changed, and byte code or word code is mapped, it's the highest security level in PyArmor. There is only one runtime file required, that is extension module pytransform, and the form of obfuscated scripts is unique, no so called bootstrap code which may make some users confused. All the obfuscated scripts would be like this

    from pytransform import pyarmorpyarmor(\_\_name\_\_, \_\_file\_\_, b'\x0a\x02...', 1)

    ✅ It's recommended to enable this mode in suitable cases. Now only the latest Python versions are supported:

    • Python 2.7
    • Python 3.7
    • Python 3.8

    👍 It may support Python 3.5, 3.6 later, but Python 3.0~3.4 is out of plan.

    • ➕ Add new option --obf-mode, --obf-code, --wrap-mode to command obfuscate
    • ➕ Add new value 2 for option --advanced to enable super mode, refer to using super mode
    • Fix multiprocessing issue: ValueError: __mp_main__. __spec__ is None (#232)
    • 0️⃣ The command runtime will generate default protection script pytransform_protection.py
    • ➕ Add new option --cross-protection to command obfuscate to specify customized protection script
    • 0️⃣ The default cross protection code will not be injected the entry script if --no-runtime is specified as obfuscating the scripts. In this case, use option --cross-protection to specify one protection script
    • Change the default capsule location from ~/.pyarmor_capsule.zip to ~/.pyarmor/.pyarmor_capsule.zip
    • 👉 Add new functions get_user_data, assert_armored in runtime module pytransform
    • ✅ Document how to store runtime file license.lic to any location
    • ✂ Remove the trailing dot from harddisk serial number, it may impact the license verified
