New Features Major update to Structure ViewerThis version has completely new Structure Viewer, with a lot of new functionality and improvements. See the topic for more information. Parallel operationsSeveral operations, like Find All and Replace All, now utilize several cores or processors (if they are available), providing up to 30% performance boost. Performance boost is more noticeable in Replace All commands, especially in regular expression mode.
True parallel execution of all lengthy operationsPrevious versions allowed you to execute multiple operations in parallel, but user interface was rather limited: for example, it did not allow you to finish the first operation before the second finishes. Now, all started operations are equal and are executed truly in parallel. Application user interface is not blocked.
Only windows of the current document are disabled until the operation execution is completed. Support for Intel HEX and Motorola S files Advanced Copy & Export now allows exporting selection into Intel HEX and Motorola S formats. In addition, new commands, File » Open » Open Hex and Edit » Insert Hex allow the user to convert Intel HEX and Motorola S files to binary form and insert them into the Hex Editor Neo. Additional information is displayed for several lengthy operationsFor Find All, Replace All and other operations, the number of occurrences found so far is displayed on the progress dialog. Completely rewritten Checksum moduleChecksum module has undergone complete rewrite, featuring new algorithms, greatly improved performance and parallel execution.
That is, when several algorithms are selected at once, Hex Editor Neo utilizes multiple cores or processors (if they are available) to execute them in parallel.More hash algorithms are offered (the actual list depends on algorithms available through Cryptography API). More different ways to sum all values in a document or selection are offered, including signed and unsigned sums.User interface for a Checksum module has also been improved. Ability to copy/export the current selectionHex Editor Neo now allows you to get the list of selected ranges into the Clipboard or directly to text file.

New Features Full UTF-8 supportThe editor now fully supports UTF-8 encoding. It can not only display text (in text pane) encoded as UTF-8, but also allows you to type encoded characters on the keyboard or paste from the Clipboard. All editor functions (such as Find, Fill etc.) correctly work with UTF-8.
Encodings support in Structure ViewerThis release also brings encodings support to the Structure Viewer. Now it uses the encoding currently selected for an editor window to parse single-byte character arrays or string. New Features Proxy ServerYou can configure a proxy server to use with such functions as Check for Updates, Downloader and Crash Dump Uploader. You can also configure authorization options, if your proxy server requires them. Bookmarks in Go to Offset dialogCurrent bookmarks are now displayed in the Go to Offset dialog. Selection manipulation in Go to Offset dialogAdded an ability to manipulate the current selection directly in Go to Offset dialog. You can replace, add, remove or invert the current selection while changing the cursor offset in the document.

It displays the physical drive information in a form of '.PHYSICALDRIVE N', where N is a disk ordinal number assigned by operating system. This allows you to distinguish between the same disks from the same manufacturer. Added 'Whole file' option to all operation dialogsAll operations (bitwise, arithmetic and shift) dialogs now include the option 'Whole file'. You can use it to target an operation to a whole file without the need to select it first.
Fixed Bugs Setup: invalid security descriptorsSetup incorrectly configures security descriptors for installed files and shortcuts when you install the product in 'per-machine' mode. This may prevent other users from being able to run Hex Editor Neo. Structure Viewer: bit-fields are now indexedA bug that prevented bit fields from being indexed is fixed.
Now when you click on the cell which contains a bit field in the editor, the field is properly highlighted in Structure Viewer. Structure Viewer: crashHex Editor Neo may crash when binding certain structures. Updated Features Structure Viewer: bit fields typeChanged the displayed type name for bit fields. It now shows the number of bits a field occupies (for example: int: 4). Structure Viewer: more accurate progressMore accurate structure binding progress update.
In addition, a progress window may switch to the marquee mode when binding complex structure with forward and backward pointers. Structure Viewer: optimizationThe execution of the assignment statement ( variable = expr;) is greatly optimized. Such complex iterative structures as AVI, TGA and others will benefit from this optimization. Structure Viewer: optimizationStructure Viewer tool window's main operations, like navigation, expanding/collapsing, scrolling and so on were optimized. Structure Viewer: TGATGA file structure is updated to support run-length encoded images.
Structure Viewer: common progressStructure Viewer now displays a single common progress when binding a structure that executes delayed binds (like PE header, for example). Fixed Bugs Crash in Compare FilesSometimes when 'Compare Files' command was launched as Windows 7 task from the pinned application icon, it crashed after you pressed the OK button. New Features Structure Viewer: major update to Portable Executable header samplePE header sample has been greatly enhanced. Now it parses more PE file structures, including import and export directory, resource directory, base relocation table, debug directory and others. It also illustrates how to use Javascript to extend the power of Structure Viewer's declaration syntax.
Structure Viewer: $print directive updated$print directive now does not automatically convert its argument to string; instead it uses Structure Viewer’s data visualization engine. This allows it, for example, to respect the 'Display Hex Values' setting when displaying integer values. Structure Viewer: pointer visualizationFor pointed types, not only the pointer value, but the snapshot of pointed type contents is visualized on a line (as it is for arrays and structures). In addition, a computed address is also displayed. Structure Viewer: new javascript keywordJavascript code now may be specified inline with a new javascript keyword.
Note that VBScript code must still be referenced with #pragma script directive. Structure Viewer: new statementsStructure Viewer now supports the following statements: while, for and dowhile. Structure Viewer: support for current encodingStructure Viewer now uses the current editor window's encoding when displaying non-Unicode strings. Updated Features Mouse selection improvementsNow it is much more easier to select data with mouse. The behavior is more consistent with other Windows applications. Cursor move on PasteNow there is an option to move the cursor to the end of the pasted data after the Paste operation (turned on by default). Extended encoding supportAll Hex Editor Neo commands (such as Fill, Find, Find All, Replace etc) now respect the current window’s encoding, when single-byte string type is chosen.
The current encoding is also displayed in the command’s dialog. Note: when using regular expressions, default system encoding is always used.Current editor's window encoding is also respected by Pattern Coloring module. Clipboard improvementsNow Edit-Copy and Edit-Cut commands automatically put selected data in text format into the Clipboard. Copy & Export tool window is still used to fine-tune the format used. Advanced Copy&Export improvements'Raw Text' copy&export mode also lists 'Current Encoding' as encoding type. When selected (default), encoding from the current editor window is used.
Advanced Copy&Export improvements“Formatted Values” copy&export mode now allows exporting data without separators (as text stream). Checksum improvementsClick-and-calculate feature implemented: non-computed checksum value is automatically computed when you double-click it (no need to click checkbox and then Refresh button) File Compare improvementsFile Compare tool window’s commands are now application-wide commands. You can put them on the toolbar or assign keyboard shortcuts to them. Improved power managementHex Editor Neo now prevents the computer from going to sleep (unattended) when performing lengthy operation. This of course does not prevent the user to manually sleep the computer. New Features New Setup Features Portable InstallationSetup now offers new installation mode which can be used to make a portable copy of Hex Editor Neo. Once installed, the copy of the product may be transferred to other locations, or to other computers where it can be used without installation.
In this mode setup allows the user to install the product on the removable media and network shares.Transactional Installation Setup now performs installation of the product as a single transaction (on supported operating systems and configurations). If anything goes wrong during installation, including software or hardware errors, computer configuration is not modified. All setup activities are part of the transaction, including modifications done to the file system and system registry. Restart Manager Support Now, when setup needs to replace or remove a locked file, it uses the system restart manager to find the application that has a file open. It also offers a way to gracefully restart the application in order to update the file. This new feature greatly reduces the need for system restart during setup.
Per-User Installation In addition to the previous, 'per-machine' installation mode, a new installation mode is offered. It allows the user to install the application only for himself. In this mode, setup does not modify any per-machine settings.
In addition, a user does not have to have administrative rights to install the Hex Editor Neo. After the product is installed in per-user mode, it is not visible to other users of the computer, but may also be installed by them in per-user mode.
New Features Shared Files SupportHex Editor Neo is now capable of working with files shared with other applications. After you open a shared file, Hex Editor Neo starts watching for file's modifications. If another application makes changes to a file, Hex Editor Neo displays a Shared File Conflict Dialog, which gives you options to ignore a change, update editor's copy, and/or merge changes with local changes.In addition, for all 'update'-kind options you may instruct the editor to compare the new version with a previous one. Two file comparison algorithms provided by File Compare module are supported. Hex Editor Neo also allows you to retain older versions of a file in the editor.
You may edit these old versions as any other kind of document in the editor, save your changes and so on. Fixed Bugs Crash in DisassemblerA possible crash in Disassembler has been fixed. Hex Editor Neo sometimes crashed after refreshing a Disassembly View on a modified document. Crash in DisassemblerA possible crash in Find function in Disassembly View has been fixed. Explorer bugsNow it is possible to browse Network and Libraries folders (a latter one on Windows 7 Beta) in Explorer tool window. Crash in ExplorerA possible crash in Explorer has been fixed. It sometimes crashed while enumerating a shell folder tree.
Purge All command crashA possible crash after History » Purge All command has been fixed. Copy&Export bugsA completely broken behavior in copying/exporting data into programming languages formats (Formatted Output) has been fixed. Now all modes, including Hexadecimal, Decimal, Octal, Binary, Float and Double as well as all grouping options are correctly handled. Structure Viewer's zip.h bugA bug has been reported in the zip.h file that prevented proper recognition of ZIP archives with additional NTFS information in them. Several reported and found bugsSeveral reported and discovered bugs and inconsistences have been fixed in this release. This also includes more items from our 'suggestion queue'.
Fixed Bugs Several bugs in Structure Viewer32-bit integer types (both signed and unsigned) were incorrectly handled in big-endian mode. Note that this did not affect 32-bit signed and unsigned long types. This bug is fixed. In addition, a number of not critical bugs were found and fixed. Decrypt function is not workingOn some computers it was unable to run a Edit » Decrypt command. This has been fixed. Other minor bugs and suggestionsA lot of small glitches that were in our 'suggestion queue' have finally found their time to be fixed in this release.
Updated Features Complete rewrite of command routing and toolbar customization systemThis release brings completely new version of the command routing and toolbar customization subsystem. We have greatly optimized Hex Editor Neo's startup and runtime performance and brought greater flexibility to user interface customization. Built-in and user-created layouts now not only affect tool windows, but also change commands on default toolbars and size of their buttons. Checksums and Statistics now store per-document information Checksums module and Statistics module now store per-document information. For example, you calculate statistics for a document, switch to another one and calculate statistics for it as well.
Now, if you switch back to the first document, Statistics tool window will immediately display information it previously calculated for the first document. Changes in the Free Edition End User License AgreementFree version's EULA now grants commercial usage of the free edition of the Hex Editor Neo.
Improved Explorer integration'Edit with Hex Editor Neo' shortcut menu option is now added to drives as well. Improved Windows dialogWindows dialog (it displays a list of all opened editor windows) now automatically activates a window under the cursor. There is no need to click the Activate button anymore. Updated Features Performance improvementsThis release focuses on major performance improvement in one of the core Hex Editor Neo components, responsible for working with large files. (Hex Editor Neo considers files bigger than 64 MB on 32-bit systems and bigger than 128 MB on 64-bit systems as large files).Careful optimizations and wiser use of system resources allowed us to greatly optimize this core component.
As performance of most editor functions depends on it, we have managed to improve the speed of various functions from 2x to 8x!The most boost is displayed in 'cheap' operations, like General Statistics and Pattern Statistics, moderate boost in heavier functions as Replace All and less boost in 'heavy' functions like Find All, for example.In addition, document saving performance has also been greatly improved. On some of our test platforms, file copying ( File » Open command followed by File » Save As command) works faster than in Windows Explorer!
Licensing System updateUntil now, each new upgrade required our customers to re-install the license file to re-activate the product. Although this is still required for this update, the licensing system was updated to remove this limitation.
All future upgrades will not invalidate the license installed for the 4. New Features New offset display typesAn offset (or address) may now be displayed as hexadecimal, decimal or octal numbers. New view typesIn addition to hexadecimal, decimal, float and double, data in editor windows may now be displayed as octal and binary values. All Hex Editor Neo's commands and modules are also compatible with new view types, including Copy & Export module.
New range rule type in Pattern ColoringPattern Coloring introduces a special rule type: range rule. For range rule, you define a range which is then hilighted in a document. Advanced support for Editor Window settingsYou can now configure the default editor window settings on special settings page ( Tools » Settings » Editor). These settings include offset display type, data display type and grouping, byte ordering, a number of columns, character encoding and visibility of code pane and text pane.
In addition, there is a special option to associate a different set of window settings for each opened document and restore them next time the document is opened. New Features DisassemblerVersion 4.71 brings support for.NET assemblies. It also features an updated disassembler view window, with support for fast navigation, selection of assembly text, column configuration and much more.
It also allows you to display an assembly listing in AT&T format.Disassembler has an improved quality of the assembly listing. Module imports are now also analyzed and displayed, in addition to symbols. Structure ViewerThe most of the new functionality is within the Structure Viewer module again. It now understands new built-in types, statements and directives. It also supports variables, constant and variable arrays and expression evaluation with dynamic type inferring.This release eliminates most of previously imposed limits on structure size, array size etc. The Structure Viewer Tool Window has been updated to easily handle billions of items with very fast and clean navigation. Commands like Expand All and Collapse All will take less than a second expanding/collapsing a structure with a billion of items.
If you bind a complex structure to a huge file (for example, AVI), you can estimate the editor to easily carry the job without running out of memory.A number of handy features, such as Synchronize Position (which works 'both sides' - from structure to document and from document to structure), Mouse over field tracking (which highlights a field under the mouse cursor) greatly simplify the file structure analysis.Structure definitions may extend their functionality by referring to functions written in JavaScript or VBScript. These functions have access to the underlying parser and document, thanks to the IFileDocument and IParser interfaces, exposed to them by the Hex Editor Neo.The overall compilation and binding performance has been greatly improved. More information about the new functionality provided by the Structure Viewer is found in the included documentation.
Copy&ExportThe Advanced Copy & Export module now follows the model offered by the editor window. It now allows you to execute the Copy and Export commands with no selection present. In this case, a cell under the cursor is copied/exported.The current byte order is now taken into account when performing copy or export functions.It also offers an option to configure the number of digits to be exported for floating-point and double precision floating-point types. Refresh View CommandWhen working with logical or physical disks, process or physical memory, this command allows you to refresh the editor window to display any possible changes to the underlying data, performed by some other application or operating system. /s Command-Line ParameterWhen launched with '/s' command-line parameter, Hex Editor Neo forwards the list of files to open to an already running instance, if there is one.
'Display cursor address on the left' optionSeveral customers complained about the address of the cursor location being displayed at the start of the line. Now this functionality can be switched off. Reverse sorting on Statistics columnsStatistics window now allows you to sort columns in both ascending and descending order in its table mode.
New IFileDocument methods to be called from scriptsA previously introduced ISequence object was called to make it possible to call methods of the IFileDocument interface from scripting languages (such as JavaScript and VBScript). Although, our tests has shown, that in some cases it is still impossible for a script to call one or another method due to the limitations in the Automation model and the way scripting engines are implemented.This release finally resolves the problem by providing a special variant of each affected method. Every such variant may be easily called from the scripting languages. Go to in ProcessGo to in Process command now interactively updates the cursor position when you click on the image sections or modules (without closing the Go to window).
UI SugarYou can now make any tool window appear as a tabbed document. That means that the tool window will not be dockable to one of the four sides of the main window anymore, nor it will float over the main window, but instead will be placed where all editor windows reside.
You may then take advantage of the Editor Window Placement feature to position a tool window.Each tool window now also memorizes its floating position separately of its parent frame.Ctrl+Mouse Wheel now quickly changes the font size in an editor window. This is a quick way to change a font size without using the Layouts dialog. Updated Features Structure ViewerStructure 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. New Features DisassemblerHex 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. Window SwitchingHex 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.
Code PaneHex 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.
Updated Features Major performance boostThis release introduces a number of major performance optimizations that affect most Hex Editor functions. In general, the following performance boost is estimated:. Fill, Delete, Cut and Paste - when they operate over a multiple selection - have up to 3x performance boost.
Find All, File Compare, Selection Loading - up to 10% performance boost. Replace All - from 1.5x to 2x performance boost.Similar numbers refer to Find in Files and Replace in Files functions.
New Features Printing SupportFull printing support is now available in Hex Editor Neo. Case Change OperationsHex Editor Neo now offers three new Data Operations: Lower Case, Upper Case and Invert Case.
Case change operations take into account current encoding and are capable to work with Unicode data. Application-Wide Byte Order SupportHex Editor Neo now fully supports both little-endian and big-endian byte orders.
Different byte order can be set separately for each editor window and there is an option that controls whether floating-point types are affected by byte order change. Byte order change commands have been removed from Data Inspector and Structure Viewer modules, as they now respect the byte order configured for a window. Modify Bits CommandNew Modify Bits command allows you to see a visual binary representation of the number and modify individual bits. Copy and Cut Work Without SelectionCopy and Cut commands can now be used when there is no selection in the current editor window.
In this case, only the cell under the cursor is copied/cutted into the Clipboard. New Features Opening volumes (logical disks)Hex Editor now supports opening volumes (logical disks) for viewing and editing. Opening physical disksHex Editor now supports opening physical disks for viewing and editing. Opening process memoryHex Editor now allows you to open virtual memory of any running process for read-only or read-write access. Opening computer physical memory (RAM)Hex Editor provides a read-only view into the computer physical memory (RAM) - only on supported operating systems. Data encryption and decryptionA whole document or a part of it may be encrypted and decrypted, using any installed block or stream cipher. Data OperationsA large set of data operation (bitwise, arithmetic and shifts) are provided.
File comparisonHex Editor provides two file comparison algorithms, which is fast and accurate and can be used to compare text and binary data files. Updated Features Performance optimizationsThis release has undergone several performance optimizations resulted in significant speed-ups in the following commands and features:.
A special image cache speeds up application loading time. This special cache stores pre-rendered vector images (which are used throughout the Hex Editor) to significantly reduce the application startup time, which was very small even before this cache was implemented!. A numer of algorithm improvements allowed several editing functions to operate much faster and consume much less RAM. This include typing, inserting and deleting (with complex multiple selection). Several improvements were made to the Find in Files feature, leading to much less memory consumption by this function.

EncodingsHex 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 CalculationHex Editor supports 16 checksum calculation algorithms, including MD5, SHA-1, CRC-16, CRC-32 and others. Custom CRC algorithm is also provided.
You can compute the checksum for the whole file or for the current (multiple) selection. Several checksums may be computed at the same time. Results are easily exportable and copyable to the Clipboard. Advanced Copy & ExportSelected document data may now be converted into a number of supported text formats and placed into the Clipboard or exported to a file. Space-separated or comma-separated numbers, raw text with selected encoding, programming language array declaration, Base64, UUencode and Quoted-Printable are among supported formats. Pasting TextText may now be pasted into the editor. Depending on the active pane, the text is either pasted 'as is' (if the text pane is active), or parsed as a sequence of hexadecimal or decimal integers (if the code pane is active).
