HexWalk 2.1.0

HexWalk is a cross-platform hex editor, viewer and analyzer built on qhexedit2, Capstone and Qt, with a built-in signature scanner (HexDig) inspired by binwalk.

✨ New Features

🎨 Light theme

HexWalk now ships with a selectable Light theme alongside the default dark theme. Choose it under Options → Theme; the setting is persisted between sessions.

  • The whole application palette (windows, buttons, text) adapts to the selected theme.
  • Hex-editor area colors (highlighting, address area, selection, ASCII/hex fonts) switch to sensible per-theme defaults, while still letting you customize them.
  • Toolbar and menu icons are re-tinted for the light theme so they stay clearly visible instead of washing out — including actions that start out disabled.

📄 Export analysis to CSV

The binary analysis dialog has a new Export to CSV button. After running an analysis, save the full results table to a CSV file.

  • Output matches exactly what the table displays (headers + rows).
  • Fields are escaped per RFC 4180 (proper handling of commas, quotes and newlines).
  • The export defaults to <filename>_analysis.csv next to the analyzed file.

🔧 Improvements & Fixes

  • HexDig signature scanner updated to the latest version.
  • Build / packaging fixes: corrected CMakeLists.txt dependency resolution and added proper libb2 detection, smoothing out builds across platforms.
  • Updated documentation, including a direct link to the standalone HexDig project.
