So I finally found some free time this weekend to integrate the
duktape debugger activex control I created with the original IDA JScript interface.Only took about 5hrs to get it swapped out and working.
IDA Compare will need similar updates and might just get converted to use IDASRVR as well and move the IDB exporter to the out of process GUI part. In practice it may take a while not because its hard, but because I dont care. I still use IDA 6.7 despite having access to the newer versions for exactly these types of upgrade reasons.
