IDA Pro 5.5 goes alpha

[Sten]

IDA Pro engine updates are not so interesting as HexRays plugin updates. It's hard to implement something completely new in dissassembler itself (however dockable windows should be nice I suppose). But decompiler has a huge potential. For example Ilfak wrote Hex-Rays can now decomple floating point:

Unfortunately the only HexRays version I saw in public was HexRays 1.0, and it was somewhat limited in functionality and usablitily (but quite impressing).

BTW, I reaploaded HexRays 1.0 to FTP server.
