Release notes

• Improved internal VM execution flow and runtime stability
• Updated several VM handlers with minor logic refinements and optimizations
• Optimized runtime data handling to reduce unnecessary overhead
• Refined transformation pipeline behavior for better consistency across different assemblies
• Fixed several edge-case issues related to virtualized method execution
• Improved metadata handling in specific transformation scenarios
• Updated internal caching mechanisms to improve processing efficiency
• Adjusted low-level VM components to improve compatibility with various runtime environments
• Applied multiple core fixes and internal improvements across the protection engine

• The VM has received several improvements.
• The DisableAntiDebugProtection attribute has been added.
• A minor arithmetic issue in the VM has been resolved.

• Added JIT, a more secure Anti-Tamper mode offering improved protection compared to the normal mode

• Several significant structural changes have been made to the VM that alter its architecture

• Several minor bugs related to RikaAuth in Rika Core have been fixed
• Reference Proxy SDK attribute bugs have been fixed

• Added support for configurable renaming modes in the SDK. With the new OnlyIncluded mode, Rika will now rename only explicitly marked types and members, removing the need to manually disable renaming across the entire assembly
• Introduced a new DisableRenamingTypeMembers attribute. This allows disabling renaming for all members within a type while still allowing the type name itself to be renamed. If your SDK is outdated, you should update it

• Added three control flow modes: Light, Standard, and Advanced. Also introduced ControlFlowPreset attribute to the SDK, allowing control flow presets to be managed at the assembly, class, and method levels

• String encryption core processing sped up by 600 to 1000%, resulting in significantly faster obfuscation times
• Runtime performance has also been greatly improved
• Several implementation issues have been resolved

• The built-in Integrity Protection feature has been improved, allowing code signing without requiring the use of [DisableIntegrityProtection]

• Added support for self-contained applications. Note that Anti-Tamper protection is not compatible with self-contained publishing and will be skipped automatically
• Fixed a bug in the client where method selection was not functioning correctly
• Various improvements and adjustments made to the VM feature

• RikaAuth now includes a Management API, giving customers a second way to manage their applications alongside the existing discord bot
• RikaAuth has dropped SID, so your HWID stays the same even after a fresh OS install

• Fixed compatibility issues with obfuscated assemblies in Linux
• Fixed compatibility issues with apps using RikaAuth in Linux

• Added support for .NET 11.0 preview 1

• Fixed a rare compatibility issue in the Anti-Tamper feature
• Resolved VM issues affecting .NET 10
• Applied critical core bug fixes
• Enhanced and updated VM obfuscation

• String encryption has been enhanced
• Some minor bugs have been fixed

• An execution issue occurring in Anti VM has been fixed
• The new tibetan character set has been added to Symbol Renaming (Reinstall the SDK to use)
• A bug that caused the file size to increase significantly in virtualized binaries has been fixed

• Enhanced internal transformation mechanisms to increase complexity in Ultimate VM
• Minor bug fixes have been applied

• Improved Anti-debug mechanism
• Minor bug fixes have been applied

• Improved Ultimate VM transformations to increase durability and complexity
• Minor bug fixes have been applied

• Dozens of VM handlers have been changed and enhanced
• An 'Ultra' mode has been added to Ultimate VM, recommended for critical methods only
• Numerous bug fixes have been implemented

• Over 30 VM Handlers have been updated
• Dozens of VM Engine bugs in Rika Core have been fixed
• A metadata issue observed in legacy .NET Framework 2.0 assemblies has been resolved
• Execution issues in multi-threading scenarios within the Standard VM have been fixed
• Previously unnoticed execution issues with the sizeof and break opcodes have been resolved

• Rika .NET is now compatible with Linux.
