Previous Changelog

Additions

Patterns that overlap with the selected bytes in the hex editor view are now highlighted in blue in the pattern data view
It's now possible to add custom Data Inspector entries using the Pattern Language
- To do this, create a new file in the %IMHEX_PATH%/scripts/inspectors folder with the .pat extension and enter you pattern code there
- Each value that has been placed in memory using the @ operator will be added to the list
- To get the current selected offset, use the $ operator
Added numeric value searching to Find View
Added unique selection and scrolling position support for each provider
- This means when you scroll somewhere and select some data in a file, then switch to a different one and select some bytes there, the selection and scroll position in the original file will still remain where they were
Added icons next to all textfields
- These display what kind of input this textfield supports. For example: Text, Numbers, Mathematical expressions, Regex, Binary Pattern, etc.
Modified bytes are now being highlighted in red in the hex editor view until they are saved
Added Wide Strings (UTF-16) to the Data Inspector
Added Half Floats to the Data Inspector
Bookmarks can now be reordered by dragging them around
The color picker in Bookmarks now has a bunch of predefined colors that can be selected by clicking on them
Added a Jump to option to the Edit menu that allows scrolling directly to the currently selected region
Added option to the settings menu to explicitly disable multi window support
- This is useful for systems that either don't properly support Multi Window support or for people using Tiled Window Managers which get very confused by these extra windows.
- If you can't open ImHex properly because of this, you can also manually set the hex.builtin.setting.interface.multi_windows setting in the config file to 0
Added new options to the settings menu to adjust the padding between individual bytes and the padding between ASCII characters in the hex editor view

Improvements

Reduced File / Provider loading time to basically zero
Completely removed all lag that happened when typing in the pattern editor
- This extends out to other things that were doing work asynchronously (Disassembler, Yara, Analyzer, etc.)
Improved startup time of ImHex by about 50%
Huge pattern arrays will now be split up into chunks of 512 entries in the Pattern Data View to make them easier to navigate.
Properly display an error message when a Project failed to load
Display an error message with potential fixes if the file dialog couldn't be opened on Linux. Thanks to @iTrooz
The File Provider no longer keeps files open when it doesn't need to
- This means other applications that support it, can now open files that are already open in ImHex
Improved selection and drag scrolling in the Hex Editor View
ASCII Table background colors are no longer hardcoded so it looks correct in Light Mode
Limited the maximum number of characters that can be displayed in the tooltip that shows up when hovering over a pattern in the Hex editor view to prevent the tooltip from growing indefinitely
Properly center current selection when jumping to it

Bug Fixes

Fixed Copy-As Python Array putting a semicolon at the end of the data
Fixed issues when multiple web requests are running simultaneously
Fixed issue where file inspector failed to read over page boundaries
Fixed crash when the hex editor view data visualizer cell byte size was not evenly divisible by the column count
Fixed many issues and crashes with the Calculator Tool
Fixed various UTF-8 path bugs that prevented ImHex to work correctly on systems that have non-ASCII characters in their paths
Fixed issue where the data processor nodes did not remember their position correctly when switching to a different provider
Fixed potential crashes when trying to paste clipboard data when it's empty
Fixed flickering of the Pattern Data View when executing a pattern
Fixed opening files with unicode names through the command line
Fixed a crash when closing ImHex after launching it through the terminal
Fixed scrolling issues and improved the whole scrolling system overall
Fixed pattern evaluator not exiting evaluating state correctly in some cases
Fixed new lines in wide strings messing up the data inspector view layout
Fixed highlighting of separator column in the hex editor view

Pattern Language

Added Templates for structs, unions and using declarations
Break and Continue can now be used outside of arrays to terminate stop evaluating the current type
Return can now be used anywhere outside of functions to terminate execution of the entire pattern
Added function to get current hex editor selection as an ImHex Extension
Added function to demangle a string as an ImHex Extension
Added support for global arrays
Added non-type template parameters
Allow custom types to be used inside of sizeof operators
- This might yield incorrect results if the type's size is not static
Added better error messages when parsing invalid struct, bitfield and if statements. Thanks to @Calcoph
Fixed many many issues with templates
Fixed using control flow statements inside of conditionals
Fixed padding fields being displayed in bitfields
Allow use of compound statements in global scope
The ternary operator no longer enforces exactly the same types for the second and third operand
Fixed highlighting of arrays of arrays
Fixed bitfield order not resetting correctly
Fixed indexing of strings
Prevent the user from indexing other non-array types
Fixed a crash when using break in an unsized array
Fixed std::mem::read_signed yielding invalid values
Fixed formatting of signed hex values
Fixed accessing of local arrays
Fixed string pattern not correctly reading all bytes
Fixed a few out of bounds indexing errors in the Preprocessor
Fixed reading from local float variables
Fixed a crash when passing invalid values to the std::time library
Fixed issue where while-sized static arrays could expand indefinitely beyond the end of the data
Fixed crash with empty dynamic arrays
