Copyright 1995-2008 BreakPoint Software, Inc.
Hex Workshop v5.1.0.3937 - June 2008
---------------------------------
Enhancements
- The Hex Workshop user interface includes updated icons and toolbars
along with a new offset column header to highlight the current
caret and offset positions.
- The Structure Viewer panel now simultaneously displays and allows
the editing of interpreted values in both decimal and hexadecimal.
The bookmark, compare, checksum, and find panels were also updated
to include both decimal and hexadecimal columns where possible.
- The Structure Viewer file format now supports additional data
accessors and more support for conditional data formats.
- sizeof() returns the size of a variable in bytes
- ubyteAt(), ushortAt(), and ulongAt() returns the 8, 16, or 32
bit value at the specified file offset or variable value.
- switch() allows for conditional structures based on the contents
of a variable.
- F7 and Shift+F7 keyboard accelerators jump to the next/previous
Bookmark.
- Users can now copy and paste binary data between multiple instances
of Hex Workshop.
- Users can now specify whether documents are titled horizontally or
vertically during file comparisons.
- A 64 bit shell extension was added to enable the Right-Click "Hex
Edit using Hex Workshop" option under 64 bit operating systems.
- The Hex Workshop license agreement was relaxed to allow either a
single user on multiple PCs or multiple users on a single PC.
Previously, the Hex Workshop license restricted use to a single
user on a single PC.
- Hex Workshop now defaults to displaying hex data grouped by 8 bit
bytes (instead of by 16 bit word) and enabled automatical column
sizing.
Bug Fixes
- Users can now re-open structure definitions. Previously, Hex
Workshop failed to re-open a structure definition if it was
previously opened.
- Hex Workshop no longer attempts to auto-load structure
definitions with parsing errors
- Restore Sectors failed to write sectors to the specified
disk/drive and instead re-read the sectors.
- Structures now retain thier expanded/collapsed state when
users reposition floating structures or collapse and expand
a parent structure/element.
- Hex Workshop v5.1 falls back to the 4.x sector editing logic
if unabled to open disks/drives using logic adapted for
Vista UAC privilege escalation.
