Previous Changelog

Additions

  • Current Address
  • Base64
  • Lua array
  • Go array
  • Crystal array

Bug Fixes

• Fixed crash when resizing a file
• Fixed graphical artifacts on welcome screen footer
• Fixed welcome screen settings button only working sometimes
• Fixed rendering of pattern array entries
• Fixed searching for invalid sequences in the Find view to yield way too many results
• Fixed sequence escape codes being parsed incorrectly
• Fixed opening files in an existing instance of ImHex not always working correctly
• Fixed the dangerous function popup reappearing constantly

Pattern Language

• Added support for enum ranges
  • If values in a range have the same meaning, you can now use MY_ENUM_VALUE = 0x10 ... 0x20 to have the formatter display all values in that range as such.
• Added references
  • If you need to use a variable in a function without copying it onto the heap (for performance reasons or if you have pointers inside your structure), you can now use the ref keyword before your parameter type to turn it into a reference.
• Added #ifdef, #ifndef, #endif, #error and #define without a value
  • Applications can also set their own global defines, for example ImHex sets the __IMHEX__ and __IMHEX_VERSION__ macro by default
• Allow using declarations to change the name of builtin types
• Added optional endian parameter to std::mem::read_unsigned and std::mem::read_signed
• Improved Lexer, Parser and Preprocessor performance
• Massively improved function call and formatting performance
• Improved color highlighting
• Improved bitfield value visualization
  • Bitfields are now displayed as { FLAG_A | FLAG_B | VALUE(123) }
• Fixed out of bounds read when having a comment at the end of the file
• Fixed local variable assignments not always working correctly
• Fixed cast issues when passing enums to functions
• Fixed pattern limit from applying after evaluation has already finished
• Fixed #pargma once not working correctly
• Fixed subtraction of two unsigned values yielding unexpected results
• Fixed stringifying variables not outputting their formatted value
• Fixed casts incrementing current offset
• Fixed reading bytes when a non-zero base address is being used
• Fixed parsing of attributes following r-values
