Fixed Bugs

• Shell context menu item bug
  Hex Editor Neo's shell shortcut menu's item "Edit with Hex Editor Neo" is incompatible with some non-standard shells or file managers (like GPSoftware's Directory Opus 9). Fixed.

New Features

• New Scripting Object
  New Sequence Object provides scripting languages (such as Javascript and VBScript) a way to build a pattern and pass it to File Document Object methods that require a pattern.

Updated Features

• Structure Viewer

  Structure Viewer now supports a sophisticated structure definition language with expression evaluation, pointers and bit fields, case unions and assertions, constants and enumerations and much much more. A full featured C99-compliant preprocessor (with full support for macros and conditional compilation) is run before a source file is compiled.

  In addition to the ability to bind a structure to an absolute or relative address or to a cursor position, a structure may now be bound to an expression. This expression may reference constants and enumerations declared on the global source file scope or even reference previously bound structures.

  You can find more information in corresponding documentation section.

Fixed Bugs

• Severe bug with document saving

  Large documents may get corrupted after modifications are saved in the Hex Editor Neo. This release fixes this bug.

  Upgrade is strongly recommended!

Fixed Bugs

  Find in Files feature updates its behavior for the "Find all occurrences" mode. Now located documents are not automatically opened in the editor, thus saving system resources when doing large searches.

  Located documents may be opened by double-clicking them in the list or using the Find in Files » Open File command. When you open a document this way, all pattern occurrences are selected in it.

Fixed Bugs

• Base Converter
  A number of bugs in Base Converter module have been fixed.

  Hex Editor now includes a disassembler module. The current implementation is capable of disassembling 32-bit x86 code, including support for FPO, MMX, SSE, SSE2 and 3DNow! instruction sets. Disassembler automatically searches for symbol files and uses the information from them to increase the assembly output readability. The Disassembler View may be connected to ordinary editor window which provides you with another handly data viewing and manipulation tool. The disassembler module works with files and processes' memory and is even automatically updated when you modify the document.
• Regular Expressions
  Find, Find All, Replace, Replace All, Find in Files, Replace in Files, Pattern Coloring and Pattern Statistics commands and modules now fully support regular expressions. ECMAScript-compatible implementation of regular expressions provide you with extreme power ever found in binary editors. Very efficient implementation of "bulk" commands (Find All, Replace All, Find in Files and Replace in Files) combined with unique features of Hex Editor's multiple selection feature, together form an invaluable editing tool. A concept of named regular expression classes even allows you to define recursive grammars.
• Code Pane
  Hex Editor now provides you with a method to completely hide a code pane, leaving only the text pane visible. Combined with the auto columns mode, it is a powerful tool to edit text or binary-text data.
• Default Layouts (Three Different Ones)
  When you run the Hex Editor for the first time, you are provided with a choice of default working layout. You can choose between a "Novice User Layout", "Advanced User Layout" and "Expert User Layout". You can later change the chosen layout or make your own.
• Window Switching
  Hex Editor now provides fast and convenient tool that can be used to instantly activate any visible tool window or editor window. When you press Ctrl + Tab or Ctrl + Shift + Tab (user configurable), a navigation window is displayed. It provides the list of visible tool windows and all opened editor windows for you to activate.

• Encodings
  Hex Editor is now capable of displaying text in the text pane according to a selected encoding. More than 130 different encodings are supported (subject to installed code page files and fonts). When the cursor is in the text pane, typed characters are also converted using the selected encoding. Encoding can be set separately for each editor window. Different ANSI, UNICODE, ISO, OEM, MAC, EBCDIC and country-specific encodings are supported.
• Checksum Calculation
  Hex Editor supports 16 checksum calculation algorithms, including MD5, SHA-1, CRC-16, CRC-32 and others. Custom CRC algorithm is also provided.

• Automatic Data Policy Management

  There has always been a feature in the Device Monitoring Studio, called "Data Processing". It could be and still can be used to control the data processing policy. You can trade disk space usage for a session history length. More disk space you allow Device Monitoring Studio to use, more older session packets are available for you.

  Version 5.22 introduces an automatic data policy management for monitoring sessions. If only Logging and/or Statistics visualizer are configured for the monitoring session, it is forced to low disk space usage policy. If any other visualizer is configured for the monitoring session, it falls back to the setting, defined by the user.
