Additions

  • Added basic process memory provider support to macOS
    • Due to limitations on Apple's side, this only works with SIP disabled
  • View providers can now be renamed
  • Added options to load files into memory or read data from disk instead, independent of the file size
  • Find results can now be exported as CSVs, TSVs and JSONs. Thanks a lot to @SparkyTD
  • Added various per-byte highlights to the hex editor minimap
    • The minimap can now display the highlighting of individual bytes
  • Added a digital signal pattern visualizer
  • The pattern data view now uses nicer colors and strings to convey information
  • The recent files section on the welcome screen can now be collapsed
  • You can now scroll the hex editor view faster by holding down CTRL or even faster when holding down SHIFT + CTRL
  • Added a --reset-settings CLI command to clear all settings in case something gets corrupted

Improvements

  • Drastically improved rendering times
  • Added a small moon icon to the welcome screen in nightly builds
  • Providers now close instantly
  • The hex editor view no longer scrolls when jumping to a selection that's already visible
  • Auto project backups are now enabled by default
  • Custom data inspector rows now display a nice error message in the UI when they encountered an error
  • Bookmark reordering now doesn't swap entries anymore and actually works as expected
  • ImHex now displays a little dot in the close button on macOS if there's unsaved changes
  • Auto backups no longer remove the dirty status of providers anymore
  • SIGINT signals are now being handled to not close ImHex immediately anymore but to show a popup
  • UI scaling factors are now limited between 0.1x and 4.0x to prevent issues
    • Larger values are still possible by CTRL-clicking into the slider and entering a value manually
  • PageUp + PageDown no longer affects the hex editor selection
  • Row highlighting in the pattern data view is now less bright so the text has a better contrast

Pattern Language

  • continue and break now work as one would expect
  • Added std::core::execute_function()

    • u32 myArray[5] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
  • Added support for constants inside of custom types
  • Unsigned, signed and floating point patterns no longer display their hex value in their value by default
  • Fixed [[no_unique_address]] not working correctly with bitfields
  • Patterns are now highlighted in the hex editor view when hovering over them in the pattern data view
