Hex-Rays has dramatically expanded the signature database, adding thousands of signatures as separate downloads covering:
Hex-Rays revamped their product structure with this release to make the tool more accessible while streamlining their enterprise offerings.
A single executable now seamlessly handles both 32-bit and 64-bit binaries. The traditional "64" suffix has been dropped from the main executable, cutting down the total number of installed system files by half.
