 This release includes several bug fixes, such as a vivisect issue that prevented capa from working on Windows with Python 3. It also adds 17 new rules and a bunch of improvements in the rules and IDA rule generator. We appreciate everyone who opened issues, provided feedback, and contributed code and rules.
