Changelog v1.17

Additions

• Added support for the new Yara console module

Pattern Language

• The Pattern Language has been separated from ImHex and was moved to its own repository
  • This was in part made possible by @Diadlo‘s separation of the pattern rendering code from the rest of the runtime
  • A separate repository also now allows other people to include the Pattern Language in their own applications
• Types can now be forward declared
• Functions can now have default parameters
• Bitfield fields are now selectable
• Comments behind preprocessor defines are now correctly handled
• Fixed recursive types not working correctly
• Fixed caching for static array values
• Fixed indentation for inlined variables
• Fixed highlight colors of arrays not matching color shown in pattern data view
• Fixed struct members that overlap with [[no_unique_address]] members not being highlighted
• Fixed pointer patterns causing crashes when they are rendered

Improvements

• Make ImHex build with -Wall -Wextra -Werror on all platforms
• Fixed tons of clang-tidy warnings
• Improved / fixed the AppImage build
• Recently opened file entries are now being removed if the file doesn’t exist anymore
• Disabled various menu items when no provider is loaded
• Multi-viewport support has been enabled on Linux again, providing ImHex is running on a X11 system
  • Multi-viewport support is still very buggy on Wayland
• Improved the about page
• Pattern values are now being cached. Thanks to @Diadlo
• Mathematical expressions can now be used in the hex editor goto function
• Improved look and feel of many hexadecimal input fields
• Improved string search filtering
• Moved bookmark delete button to their header
• Information view plots now don’t capture scroll anymore and fit better into the rest of the interface
• Undo and Redo buttons are only available now if that action is actually available
• Data inspector endian and format radio boxes are now sliders

Bug Fixes

• Fixed crash when setting a custom font and that file can’t be found
• Fixed various bugs and crashes related to filesystem operations
• Fixed various bugs with the Math Evaluator engine
• Fixed highlighting not properly being cleared when switching to a different provider
• Prevent imgui.ini from being created
• Deferred calls are now handled in a thread-safe manner
• Fixed interface layout not being saved properly in some cases
• Fixed theme not changing properly on startup. Thanks to @PredatorCZ
• Fixed issues where bookmarks not always created highlights correctly
• Fixed displaying of file stat times in information view
• Fixed crash on linux when opened file is being modified. Thanks to @PredatorCZ
