  • The amount of blending for the selection can be adjusted in the Theme/Colors page of the Options dialog.
  • In the Hex Editor, improved drawing of colored bytes so that gaps do not appear in the display.
  • The bar above each editor has been hidden by default.
  • When editing a Script or Template, buttons for Run and Repository are overlaid over the editor in the top right-hand corner.
  • Can right-click on the overlaid icons to hide them or use the 'View > File Bar' menu.
  • Run Template and Run Script sections are now moved to icons in the Tool Bar by default.
  • Edit As and Syntax sections are moved to the Status Bar.
  • When scrolled to the right, a Scroll Shadow is now drawn along the left side of the editor (can be turned off in the Options dialog).
  • The old-style File Bar can still be shown using 'View > File Bar > Show Old File Bar'.
  • When editing a Hex file, new options Run Template and Run Template at Offset were added to the right-click menu.

  • Can apply a style to the splitter buttons in the editor scroll bar.
• Templates and Scripts
  • The 'local' keyword can now be used with enums and structs.
  • 'GUID' is now built-in as a typedef for an array of 16 unsigned bytes with read/write support in the Template Results.
  • Templates can now be run at an offset (i.e. at the current cursor position on on a set of selected bytes).
  • In the Template Results header a refresh icon is now shown which can be clicked to re-run the Template.
  • The Template Results panel splitter renders better when resizing.
  • When running a Script or Template that is focused, the editor attempts to make the target data file visible (this can be turned off in the Compiling Options dialog).
  • Octal notation \nnn is now supported inside a string where n is from (before just \0 was properly supported).
  • String assignment with '=' now copies the whole string including null characters.
  • Added GUID highlighting to bt syntax highlighter.
• Running Templates at an Offset
  • Can right-click on a Hex Editor and choose Run Template at Offset to execute a Template at the current cursor position.
  • If a selection is made, Run Template at Offset can be used to run a Template on the current selection.
  • Run Template at Offset shows a Run Template dialog with a Run at Offset toggle and field at the bottom.
  • Enter the offset to run the Template in the Run at Offset field. The field will automatically be filled with the cursor position or the start of the selection.
  • Optionally enable the Limit Size field and enter the number of bytes in the field. The Template will be able to access this number of bytes from the offset.
  • The dialog box keeps a history list of the offsets and size limits used.
  • The Run Template dialog shows the list of Open, Installed and Recent Templates similar to the Run Template drop-down in the Tool Bar.
  • A Template now uses virtual addresses that are relative from the offset. For example, address 0 in the Template corresponds to the file position offset.
  • All functions which access addresses use the virtual addressing scheme (e.g. FSeek, FTell, startof).
  • All functions which access the size of the file use the size limit (e.g. FEof, FileSize).
  • After running a Template at an offset the Template Results header reads 'Template Results - <filename> @ <offset> | <sizelimit>.
  • Clicking the down-arrow to the right of the Template Results header shows a popup menu for changing the offset or clearing the offset.
  • Addresses in the Template Results are shown relative to the start of the file by default but can be shown relative to the offset by right-clicking on the Start column and selecting Start Addresses > From Offset.
• Templates and Scripts - Local structs
  • The 'local' keyword can be used with structs to declare a struct as in regular C.
  • Local structs can be used in Scripts as well as Templates but must be declared with the 'local' keyword.

Version - December 6th,

The following is an overview of the new functionality in version of Editor:

• A full debugger is now available for finding and fixing problems with Templates and Scripts.
• The debugger can be accessed using the Debug menu and includes stepping, breakpoints, watches and a call stack.
• Templates and Scripts are now threaded, meaning other editing operations can be done while a Template or Script is running.
• When using the Text Editor, line numbers and ruler labels are now hidden by default (they can be shown with 'View > Addresses > Show Addresses' or 'View > Ruler > Show Labels').
• When line numbers or ruler labels are hidden, hover the mouse over the address column or ruler for a second to display a hint popup with the hidden information.
• 'View > Tabs/Whitespace > Show Whitespace' now can be used to visualize linefeed types for each line.

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

• Debugger
  • A full debugger is now included for finding and fixing problems with Editor Templates and Scripts.
  • Added a new Debug menu for controlling the debugger.
  • Debugging can be turned on or off using the 'Debug > Debugging Enabled' menu option.
• Debugger Program Flow
  • Scripts or Templates can be run the usual way (for example with 'Scripts > Run Script' or 'Templates > Run Template') or by selecting a Script or Template and clicking 'Debug > Start Debugging'.
  • If debugging is enabled and a breakpoint is hit in the Script or Template, program execution will pause (see the next section for information on breakpoints).
  • When paused a yellow arrow will indicate the current debug active line in the Text Editor.
  • Use 'Debug > Step Over' to step to the next line of the file, jumping over any functions or structs that are called.
  • Use 'Debug > Step Into' to step to the next line of the file and step into any functions or structs that are called.
  • Use 'Debug > Step Out' to execute the rest of the current function or struct and stop at the first statement outside the function or struct.
  • To continue running a paused Script or Template click 'Debug > Continue', 'Scripts > Continue Script or Template' or 'Templates > Continue Script or Template'.
  • To pause a running Script or Template click 'Debug > Pause'.
  • To stop a running or paused Script or Template click 'Debug > Stop' or press Shift+Esc (note this has changed from the Esc key in previous versions).
  • Scripts or Templates are now run threaded meaning other editing operations can take place when a Script or Template is running.
  • If stepping to a line in an include file, the include file is automatically opened in the editor.
  • Right-click on a Script or Template and choose Run to Cursor from the right-click menu. The Script or Template will run (or continue) and execution will stop at the chosen line or at the first breakpoint encountered.
  • When a Script or Template is stopped, click 'Debug > Step Into' to start the program and stop at the first executable line.
  • When stepping through a Template and the last line of the Template Results or Variables tab is selected, if any new variables are appended to the table then the selection will be moved to the last created variable.
• Breakpoints
  • A breakpoint marks a line to stop in the Script or Template and is marked by a red arrow in the left-hand column of the Text Editor.
  • Set or clear a breakpoint for the current line using 'Debug > Toggle Breakpoint' or by left-clicking the left-hand column in the Text Editor.
  • If a breakpoint is set on a non-executable line then the breakpoint will be moved to the next line that is executable when the Script or Template executes.
  • Breakpoints are persistent (saved to disk) but this can be changed using the Compiling page of the Options dialog.
  • If debugging is disabled then no breakpoints will be hit and the breakpoints are displayed as red outlines in the Text Editor.
  • If the Script or Template is modified when program execution is paused then breakpoints will be disabled. The breakpoints will be displayed as outlines with a solid arrow head.
  • A list of all breakpoints can be found in the Breakpoints tab, which is found in the Inspector tab group or by clicking 'Debug > View Breakpoints'.
  • In the Breakpoints tab, right-click on the table and select Add Breakpoint to set a breakpoint by line number.
  • All breakpoints in all files can be deleted by clicking 'Debug > Delete All Breakpoints'.
  • The color of breakpoints or the active line marker can be controlled using the Theme/Colors page of the Options dialog.
  • Note that breakpoints are not hit when the application is starting up and any files are being reloaded.
• Variable Hints
  • When program execution is paused and the mouse is placed over a variable name in the Script or Template, a hint popup will display the value of the variable.
  • When a selection is made in the Script or Template and the mouse is placed over the selection, the selection will be evaluated and the results displayed in a hint popup.
  • Currently only simple functions (sizeof, startof, exists, etc) can be evaluated in a selection and open the Quick Watch dialog to evaluate a selection which contains more complex functions.
  • Note that how variables are scoped can be affected by the Call Stack tab.
  • Variable hints can be turned off using the Compiling page of the Options dialog.
• Watches
  • Watches can be set in the Watch tab found in the Inspector tab group or by clicking 'Debug > View Watches'.
  • Add a watch by double-clicking on the first empty line in the Name column or by right-clicking on the Watch tab and choosing Add Watch.
  • A watch can be almost any expression or variable name (for example, 'FileSize()' or 'blocks[i].data[10]').
  • Watches are evaluated every time program execution is paused (e.g. a breakpoint is hit) or when the program is stepped to the next line.
  • If the result of a watch is a struct, the struct can be opened and explored similar to the Template Results.
  • To delete a watch use the Delete key or right-click on a watch and choose Remove Watch.
  • A single list of watches is kept for the entire application.
  • Note that how variables are scoped can be affected by the Call Stack tab.
• Quick Watch
  • Expressions can also be evaluated without creating a watch using the Quick Watch dialog ('Debug > Quick Watch').
  • Enter an expression in the Expression field and click Evaluate.
  • The result of the expression or variable is displayed in the Value column.
  • A list of recent expressions is available by clicking the Down arrow in the dialog.
  • Click the Add Watch button to add the current expression to the Watch tab.
  • If a selection is made in the Text Editor before the Quick Watch dialog is opened, the selection is copied to the Expression field and evaluated.
• Debugging Runtime Errors
  • If a runtime error occurs in a Template or Script a popup dialog box will be displayed asking to start the debugger.
  • When debugging errors the cursor is placed on the line that caused the error.
  • Variables can be investigated with Variable Hints in the Text Editor or with watches.
  • Clicking Continue or stepping to the next line will stop the Script or Template.
  • Select the Always use this action toggle in the popup dialog box to always start the debugger or never start the debugger.
  • Whether the debugger starts on an error can also be controlled with the Compiling page of the Options dialog.
• Call Stack
  • The Call Stack is available in the Call Stack tab which can be found in the Inspector tab group or by clicking 'Debug > View Call Stack'.
  • When program execution is paused, the Call Stack lists the functions or structs that were called to reach the current execution point.
  • The current function or struct is listed at the top of the call stack and the function or struct which called that function or struct is listed below it.
  • If execution is not inside a function or struct then (Main Program) is listed in the call stack.
  • Double-clicking on a function or struct jumps to the last position inside that function or struct.
  • Double-clicking on a function or struct also makes any local variables inside the function or struct in local scope (this affects any watches or Variable hints in the Text Editor).
• Debugger Limitations
  • Currently breakpoints are not hit inside custom read/write/name/comment functions that are called from the Template Results or Variables tab. To debug these functions call them directly inside the Template.
  • Currently breakpoints in on-demand structures are not hit when the structure is created by opening it in the Template Results. To debug these functions trigger creation of the struct directly in the Template by accessing a variable inside the struct.
  • Currently breakpoints are not hit inside the HighlightLineRealtime or HighlightBytesRealtime functions. To debug these functions see the Using the Debugger help topic in the manual for sample code to call.
• Templates and Scripts
  • A full debugger including breakpoints, watches and call stack is now available for Templates and Scripts.
  • Templates and Scripts are now threaded, meaning other editing operations can be done while a Template or Script is running.
  • When a Template is running click 'Templates > Stop Template' or press Shift+Esc to cancel the Template.
  • When a Script is running click 'Scripts > Stop Script' or press Shift+Esc to cancel the Script.
  • On-demand Structures which have arguments are now supported.
  • Custom read functions can now be called on structs with zero size.
  • Custom name/comment functions now work for local variables.
  • After selecting a Script or a Template that has been run, the Variables tab now shows the list of variables created by that Script or Template.
  • If an included file is opened and modified in the editor, the modified version is used when compiling instead of the disk version.
  • Which warnings are displayed in the Output panel can be configured using the Compiling page of the Options dialog.
  • When the application is starting up and files are being reloaded, the Output panel shows the results from all Templates that were run.
  • The Template Results panel only shows the results from a syntax highlighting template if the Template was run directly (not as the result of opening a file).
  • Can right-click on the Variables tab and select Clear to clear the results from a Script or Template.
  • The InputString function now returns a UTF-8 string.
  • Jump to Template Variable is now only shown on the Editor right-click menu when editing a hex file.
• Editor
  • In the Text Editor, line numbers are now hidden by default and can be displayed by clicking 'View > Addresses > Show Addresses'.
  • When addresses are hidden, place the mouse cursor over the address column for a second to see the line number in a hint popup.
  • When addresses are hidden, a triangle marker indicates the last line in a file (this can be turned off by setting the Address End Marker to None in the Theme/Colors Options dialog).
  • When addresses are hidden, a '-' marker indicates lines that are created by word-wrap.
  • In the Text Editor, ruler labels are now hidden by default and can be shown using 'View > Ruler > Show Labels'.
  • When ruler labels are hidden, place the mouse cursor over the ruler for a second to view the mouse and cursor position in a hint popup.
  • In the Hex Editor, small arrows in the ruler show the current cursor position and can be turned off using 'View > Ruler > Show Arrows'.
  • 'View > Tabs/Whitespace > Show Whitespace' now can be used to visualize linefeed types for each line.
  • The different symbols drawn for Show Whitespace can be configured using the Text Editor page of the Options dialog.

Version - October 10th,

The following is an overview of the new functionality in version of Editor:

• Syntax Highlighters can now be shared via our online template repository.
• Syntax Highlighters are implemented as a function inside a Binary Template .bt file.

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

• Syntax Highlighting
  • Syntax Highlighters can now be shared via our online template .
  • Syntax Highlighters are written in a different format than before and are implemented as a function inside a Binary Template bt file.
  • New Binary Templates cromwellpsi.com, cromwellpsi.com, cromwellpsi.com and cromwellpsi.com are automatically installed to perform syntax highlighting for those formats and other Binary Templates will be added to the online repository soon.
  • Highlighting for Editor Templates and Scripts is now performed with the bt Binary Template.
  • Removed the 'View > Highlighting > Syntax Highlighting' menu.
  • Syntax Highlighters are now run by clicking the Syntax: section in the File Bar just above each text editor or by clicking 'Templates > Syntax' on the main menu.
  • Clear Syntax Highlighters from a file by clicking on the Syntax: section in the File Bar above a text editor and select '(none)'.
  • If a Syntax Highlighter is found in the repository to highlight the current file, a dialog will popup asking to install or ignore the file, similar to installing regular Binary Templates.
  • The Syntax page has been removed from the Options dialog.
  • When Editor v9 is first run, any old custom Syntax Highlighters created with the Syntax page of the Options dialog are exported to XML files in the 'Documents\SweetScape\Old Syntax Highlighters' directory.
  • Old Syntax Highlighters must be converted manually to the new format and there is not yet an automated tool to do the conversion.
  • The new Syntax Highlighting method can handle a huge range of other text formats but requires some programming to implement.
  • SweetScape Software will be available to help with conversion of Syntax Highlighters for common text formats time permitting.
  • If Old Syntax Highlighters were exported, they can be exported again later by clicking the Export Old Syntax Highlighter button on the Highlights page of the Options dialog. If this button is not displayed then there are no Syntax Highlighters to export.
  • Syntax Highlighters are written by implementing the function HighlightLineRealtime inside a Binary Template. This function applies colors to a single line of text.
  • Highlighting can also be applied to binary files instead of text files by implementing the function HighlightBytesRealtime in a Binary Template.
  • Added new functions to help in the creation of Syntax Highlighters: HighlightFindStyle, HighlightGetStyleForeColor, HighlightGetStyleBackColor, HighlightAllowInstanceSharing, HighlightApplyStyle, HighlightApplyColor, HighlightGetNextToken, HighlightBuildKeywordList, HighlightMatchKeyword, HighlightMatchString, HighlightFindKeyword, HighlightFindString, HighlightCheckMultiLineRule, HighlightCheckCommentRule, HighlightCheckSingleLineRule, HighlightCheckKeywordRule, HighlightCheckTagRule, HighlightCheckTagTokenRule, HighlightColorPattern.
  • Some highlighting functions can do case insensitive matching by using the HIGHLIGHT_IGNORECASE constant.
  • Some highlighting functions can do regular expression matching by using the HIGHLIGHT_REGEX constant.
  • The HighlightFindStyle function has an option to create custom Syntax Styles if they do not yet exist.
  • Custom Syntax Styles now store separate colors for light and dark themes.
  • If instance sharing is turned on using the HighlightAllowInstanceSharing function then only one copy of the Syntax Highlighter is kept in memory and used for all open files of the target text format.
  • By default the Template Results panel is not shown when running a Binary Template that does syntax highlighting.
• File Interfaces
  • Syntax Highlighting is no longer controlled via the current File Interface (View > Edit As).
  • Combined the old file interfaces XML and HTML into a single Tagged interface.
  • Combined the old file interfaces C/C++ and PHP into a single Code interface.
  • 'File > New' menu now controlled by clicking Manage New File Types on the Editor page of the Options dialog.
  • Possible to show or hide different sections (e.g. Run Script, Run Template, Repository) of the File Bar above each text or hex editor by right-clicking on the File Bar.
• Character Sets
  • Added support for more character sets as well as custom character sets.
  • The 'View > Character Set' menu has been reorganized to show a list of common character sets, followed by a list of recently used characters, followed by the character sets sorted into Standard, International, and Custom categories.
  • Character sets can be viewed, customized, imported and exported using the new Character Sets page of the Options dialog.
  • Now per-file character sets can be set by turning off the 'View > Character Set > Use Default' toggle. If the Use Default toggle is on then the character set comes from the current File Interface.
  • When opening a file and a different character set is detected than the current File Interface has, the Use Default toggle will be turned off automatically (an example of this is opening a Unicode XML file).
  • If a different character set is chosen when the Use Default toggle is off, that character set will be remembered when the file is closed and opened again.
  • Added the following character sets:
    • Arabic (ISO) - ISO
    • Baltic (ISO) - ISO
    • Cyrillic (KOI8-R) - KOI8-R

  • Japanese character set is now named 'Japanese (Shift_JIS)'.
  • Now just a single Korean character set EUC-KR is supported.
  • The Character Sets page of the Options dialog allows viewing character sets and creating custom character sets.
  • Character sets are displayed in a 16x16 table for easy visualization.
  • Information about different symbols is displayed in a tool tip when moving the mouse cursor over the character set table.
  • When viewing a complex (multi-byte) character set a horizontal scroll bar will appear to allow scrolling through the different pages.
  • The font of the character set table can be controlled by right-clicking on the table.
  • Simple character sets can be modified by clicking on a symbol in the character set table and selecting a different symbol using the Change Symbol dialog that pops up.
  • If attempting to modify a built-in characters set, the character set will be copied to a new custom character set before the modification is made.
  • Simple character sets can be exporting to a CSV file by clicking on the Export button.
  • A simple character set can be imported by clicking the Import button. The import format should be numbers separated by commas, spaces, or tabs and the number -1 designates no change.
  • In the Change Symbol dialog click the Reset button to reset the character to the original value or enter a new Unicode code point U+XXXX in the edit field at the top right corner.
  • In the Character Sets page of the Options dialog enable the Show at Top Level toggle to display the character set at the top of the 'View > Character Sets' menu.
  • For custom character sets, the Encoding can be chosen to select which internal encoding this character set uses to convert bytes to characters.
  • Enable the Hide Characters over toggle to hide the display of any character with Unicode code points over (for example, this is used for the ASCII character set).
  • The text displayed in the status bar when a character set is active can be controlled using the Status Bar Indicator edit box.
  • An integer ID Number can be specified for custom character sets for use in scripting functions such as ConvertString.
  • New constants are available for the ConvertString function for the newly available build-in character sets.
  • Created character sets are available for conversion when using the 'Tools > Convert' tool.
  • The Convert tool shows the character sets marked as Show at Top Level and recently used character sets at the top of the Target Character Set list.
  • After the Convert tool is run, the file may be assigned a per-file character set (i.e. the 'View > Character Set > Use Default' toggle is turned off and a different character set is assigned).
• External Functions in DLLs
  • Templates and Scripts can now call functions in an external dynamic library.
  • Works with Windows DLLs (*.dll), Linux shared objects (*.so), or macOS DYLIB files (*.dylib).
  • All functions defined inside of a #link "<filename>" and #endlink directive are assumed to be located in an external library (note that no body can be defined for these functions).
