Previous Changelog

Thank you so much for the ridiculous amount of 20'000 ⭐ on this project!

Additions

  • Replaced terrible existing project file system with a much more flexible one
    • This is a breaking change. If you have existing project files, they will no longer be loadable in ImHex starting from this version
    • To still use your old projects, you can use this Python Script here to extract the different parts of the old project file as stand-alone files that can then be imported again in newer versions of ImHex
  • The recents list now contain all providers, not just opened files
  • Added Intel Hex and Motorola SREC provider
  • Added hexadecimal size of file and selection to hex editor footer
  • Added select region command
  • Added close button to the welcome screen so various tools can be accessed without opening any data
  • Added Bookmark Import and Export option

Improvements

  • Added better support for Windows 7
    • You're still much better of by using Windows 10 or 11 instead since a bunch of things simply aren't possible on Windows 7
  • Removed dependency on macOS 11 only Framework so ImHex can now run on macOS Yosemite and higher
  • Switched .deb compression to gzip so it can be used on older Debian versions
  • Various find view improvements. Overlapping occurrences and occurrences at the very end of the file can now be found
  • Updated the LLVM demangler dependency
    • All demanglers in ImHex now support the latest C++ features as well as D and Rust mangled names
  • ImHex now properly allows opening of all files on macOS when dragging a file onto its executable

  • Fixed Windows native theme detection not always working correctly

Pattern Language

  • Restructured entire library and cleaned up a bunch of legacy stuff
  • Updated Error messages and error display
    • All errors that are being thrown now show line/column information of the error as well as helpful error messages and hints on how to fix it (inspired by Rust errors)
  • Fixed for-loop parsing
  • Fixed display issues with static array entries
  • Fixed reading strings that were passed to functions
