seer - version 2.8

on GitHub

Highlights

• ParallelStacks: Add a Parallel Stacks Visualizer. Shows the call stacks of all threads as a merged graph.
• ParallelStacks: Add a 'Method View' mode.
• ParallelStacks: Add search and filter functions.
• ParallelStacks: Highlight the stack that is active in the debugger.
• ParallelStacks: Option to limit the number of frames shown in a node.
• ParallelStacks: Merge non-debug frames into a single "External Code" frame.
• ParallelStacks: Option to show or hide the minimap.
• ParallelStacks: Fixed wide nodes caused by long function names, handling of "??" function names,
  popup frame order/timing/dragging behavior, and node placement.
• Editor: Add a minimap to the Source and Assembly editors. Improved for large files.
• Visualizers: Add a GDB Monitor visualizer for sending 'monitor' commands to
  gdbserver, openocd, vgdb, qemu, and the like.
• Debug: Add a 'starti' mode to start debugging at the first instruction.
  Helpful for debugging programs written in assembly.
• Icons: Seer handles dark/light color theme changes. Add an Icon Theme option (auto/light/dark).
  Helpful for themes like KDE's Breeze Dark.
• MemoryVisualizer: Highlight bytes that change.
• MatrixVisualizer: Add a row-major/column-major selector. Auto-refresh at each stopping point.
  Bulk update. (Thanks tiresiasfromthebai!)
• ArrayVisualizer: Auto-refresh at each stopping point. Faster scatter phase-portrait. (Thanks tiresiasfromthebai!)
• ImageVisualizer: Add Ctrl+wheel zoom. Fixed zoom keys under Qt6. (Thanks tiresiasfromthebai!)
• SyntaxHighlighting: Add Ada (Thanks mgrojo!) and Fortran (Thanks tiresiasfromthebai!).
  Reworked the Editor config page to accommodate more languages.
• SyntaxHighlighting: Fixed string and class-name rules. (Thanks tiresiasfromthebai!)
• Build: Add Snap package generation.
• Project: Fixed command-line executable and arguments being overridden by the default project.
• Project: Load run/start settings from the correct JSON object. (Thanks tiresiasfromthebai!)
• GDB: Read gdb's stderr channel correctly. (Thanks tiresiasfromthebai!)
• Breakpoints: Fixed spurious "No such file or directory" warning on restart when no breakpoints are set.
• Startup: Improved handling when the DISPLAY variable is not set.
• Console: Decode output as UTF-8 instead of Latin-1. (Thanks tiresiasfromthebai!)
• ProgressIndicator: Don't paint the indicator when it is stopped. (Thanks tiresiasfromthebai!)
• ArrayVisualizer: Fixed empty scatter chart, swapped X/Y axes when plotting one array against another,
  unstyled scatter markers with large arrays, and handleText stack usage. (Thanks tiresiasfromthebai and lvntky!)
• MatrixVisualizer: Fixed min/max value loss and other slips. (Thanks lvntky and tiresiasfromthebai!)
• Visualizers: Don't auto-refresh the Array/Matrix visualizers when the program exits.
  Re-evaluate the visualized variable's address on refresh. (Thanks tiresiasfromthebai!)
• Build: Fixed icon colorization for Qt >= 6.6.3. Fixed build on Ubuntu 22.
• Docs: Add STYLEGUIDE.md and CONTRIBUTING.md.
• Tests: Add a Raspberry Pi 4 gdbserver test. Update STM32 build instructions. (Thanks QuangNguyenMinh123!)
