What's New in Version 12.0

SweetScape Software is pleased to announce 010 Editor v12.0 with our new Mini Map. The Mini Map is an overview diagram on the right side of each editor that shows a zoomed-out view of a file.

Mini Maps work with text and hex files and can be resized, zoomed or moved to either side of the editor. Access options for the Mini Map by right-clicking on the Mini Map.

The dark theme can now be applied to dialogs and scrolls bars as well. How colors are applied can be controlled with the 'Theme/Colors' page of the Options dialog.

Disassembly can now be performed for X86, ARM, MIPS, PowerPC, SPARC, SystemZ and XCore using the Capstone disassembly library. Use 'Tools > Disassembler' to run the disassembler and disassembly can be done in Templates using the new 'Opcode' data type. Disassembly is also available in the Inspector.

For Templates, <read> and <write> attribute can now be written inline instead of having to write a separate function.

Old Method:

   typedef float Vec3f[3] <read=Vec3FRead>;

   string Vec3FRead( VEC3F v )
   {
       string s;   
       SPrintf( s, "(%g %g %g)", v[0], v[1], v[2] );
       return s; 
   }

New Method:

   typedef float Vec3f[3] <read=Str("(%g %g %g)",this[0],this[1],this[2])>;

As well the new Visualize tab provides the same information as the Mini Map but can be undocked, making it easier to find patterns in data.

The following is a list of all new features in version 12.0 of 010 Editor:

Mini Map
- Added an overview diagram called the Mini Map to the right side of each editor.
- The Mini Map shows a zoomed out view of each file and works for both text and hex files.
- The Mini Map can be hidden, resized, zoomed, or moved to either side of the editor.
- Scrolling the editor automatically scrolls the Mini Map.
- Bytes selected or highlighted in the Editor are highlighted in the Mini Map.
- View options for the Mini Map by clicking 'View > Mini Map > Mini Map Options' or by right-clicking on the Mini Map.
- The Mini Map can also be viewed in the new Visualize tab, located in the Inspector tab group.
- Can click and drag on the line separating the Mini Map and Editor to resize the Mini Map.
- The Hex Editor Mini Map takes each color of the file and lightens or darkens the color depending upon the byte value (byte values closer to zero darken the color and byte values closer to 255 lighten the color).
- The amount of lightening or darkening can be controlled with the Contrast and Brightness sliders in the Mini Map Options dialog.
- Colorize algorithms can be performed on the Hex Editor Mini Map to apply color maps to the data.
- Choices for colorize include ASCII Sections, Rainbow, Heat, Ocean, Gray and Custom.
- The number of bytes per line of the Mini Map can be controlled with the Hex Editor Mini Map Options dialog.
- The Hex Editor Mini Map automatically changes the line width when the control is resized.
- Line width of the Hex Editor Mini Map can be snapped to certain values with the Auto Snap setting (e.g. by default the width snaps to values of 16, 32, 48, 64, etc.).
- Hovering the mouse over the Mini Map shows a highlighted rectangle, indicating the portion of the Mini Map that is visible in the Editor.
- Clicking and dragging on the highlighted rectangle scrolls the Mini Map and Editor.
- Clicking on a line of the Mini Map that is not in the highlighted rectangle centers the editor on that line.
- After clicking on a line outside the highlighted rectangle, keep the mouse button down and move the mouse up or down to perform a velocity scroll (useful for large files).
- Clicking the Reset button in the Mini Map Options dialog returns the Mini Map to its initial state.
- The Mini Map supports high-DPI displays.
- Some colors for the Mini Map can be controlled with 'Tools > Options > Theme/Colors'.
Style
- The Dark theme can now be applied to scroll bars and dialogs.
- Tabs and headers are now rounded by default (this can be turned off using 'Tools > Options > Theme/Colors' and under 'Options' uncheck 'Rounded Tabs').
- Can customize the colors of scroll bars, main menu/right-click menus, tool tips, and dialogs using the 'Theme/Colors' page of the Options dialog.
- Can change the color of the open/close children arrows in Tables.
- Changed the drawing of splitter buttons in scroll bars.
- The scroll bar for text files now hides the bottom splitter button by default.
- The Mini Map is now integrated with the scroll bars.
Disassembler
- Added disassembler for X86 (64-bit/32-bit/16-bit), ARM (64-bit/32-bit), MIPS (64-bit/32-bit), PowerPC (64-bit/32-bit), SPARC, SystemZ, and XCore.
- New Disassembler Tool on the tools menu for disassembling a section of hex data.
- Results are displayed in the Disassembler Output Window as a new tab in the Output panel.
- Selecting an opcode in the Disassembler results selects the hex bytes for the opcode in the Hex Editor.
- Uses Capstone disassembly framework for performing disassembly.
- Disassembly can be done in Templates using the 'Opcode' data type.
- Disassembly of single instructions added to the Inspector for X86 (64-bit/32-bit) and ARM (64-bit/32-bit).
- Added an icon to the Tool Bar for running the disassembler.
- Has disassembler options for ARM v8, ARM MClass, ARM Thumb Mode, MIPS Micro, MIPS 32r6, MIPS ii, MIPS iii, PowerPC QPX, SPARC v9.
- Endianness is supported for ARM, MIPS, and PowerPC.
- Define the architecture for an Opcode in a Template using DisasmSetMode or <disasm=<constant>> after an Opcode.
- Can include options for disasm using '|', for example "<disasm=(DISASM_ARM_32|DISASM_OPTION_ARM_THUMB)>".
- Opcode variables can be a variable number of bytes.
- Use the 'sizeof' operator to query the size of an Opcode.
- Can display disassembly results in Intel or AT&T syntax ('mov rbx, rcx' versus 'movq %rcx, %rbx').
- Added new functions DisasmNumOps, DisasmOpString, DisasmGetMode, DisasmSetMode, DisasmOpSizeFromFile, and DisasmOpStringFromFile.
- Special Opcode array can be used to perform disassembly on a large block of data at once.
- When defining an Opcode array, place the number of bytes between the brackets '[' and ']' (the number of resulting Opcodes can be queried with DisasmNumOps).
- Note local opcodes are not currently supported but the DisasmOpSizeFromFile and DisasmOpStringFromFile functions can be used to do disassembly in a script.
- Can right-click on the Disassembly results and choose 'Clear' to clear the table.
Templates and Scripts
- Special attributes such as <read> and <write> can now be written inline instead of writing a separate function.
- Inline functions can be written by calling a function and then including arguments inside brackets '(' and ')' where each argument can be an expression. For example: <read=Str("%lg", this / 256.0)>
- Inline functions can also be written by enclosing an expression inside brackets '(' and ')'. For example: <comment=("ID = " + id)>
- New 'Str' function which works like Printf but returns a string instead of writing it to the Output Window.
- fgcolor and bgcolor attributes can now be a function or expression.
- When writing inline functions, use 'this' to refer to the current variable (or this[0], test[1], etc. if this is an array).
- Inline functions are supported for read, write, comment, size, name, fgcolor, bgcolor and disasm attributes.
- Inline write functions should assign to a variable and should use 'value' to refer to the input string.
- New 'Opcode' type to support using the Disassembler in Templates and see the Disassembler section above for other changes to Templates.
- New 'disasm' special attribute for setting the architecture to use when performing disassembly.
- Added 'Log10' function.
Inspector
- 'Opcode (X86-32)', 'Opcode (X86-64)', 'Opcode (ARM-32)' and 'Opcode (ARM-64)' have been added to the Inspector.
Options
