New Functions - Can run a template from a script (RunTemplate). - Can set bookmarks from a script or template (AddBookmark, GetBookmarkName, GetBookmarkPos, GetNumBookmarks, RemoveBookmark). - Added new clipboard functions (ClearClipboard, CopyStringToClipboard, GetClipboardString). - Get the current time (GetCurrentTime, GetCurrentDate, GetCurrentDateTime). - Added an Assert function. - Convert a variable such as int or float to bytes (ConvertDataToBytes). - Retrieve the current temporary directory (GetTempDirectory). - Control the output panel where Printf data is displayed (OutputPaneClear, OutputPaneSave, OutputPaneCopy). - Can wait for a certain number of milliseconds (Sleep). - New wstring (unicode string) functions: InputWString, ReadWLine, ReadWString, StringToWString, WMemcmp, WMemcpy, WMemset, WriteWString, WStrcat, WStrchr, WStrcmp WStrcpy, WStrDel, WStricmp WStringToString, WStrlen, WStrncmp WStrncpy, WStrnicmp, WStrstr, WSubStr. - Can determine if a function exists with 'function_exists' keyword. - Exec function has a parameter to wait until execution is finished before returning. - FileOpen can execute the template associated with a file. - Can access the current structure variable with 'this' keyword. - Can access the parent of a structure variable with 'parentof' keyword.
General - Installer can warn user if installing a version that will require an upgrade. - Register dialog button displays 'Cancel' instead of 'Continue' to prevent confusion. - Temp directory can pick up the TEMP system variable. - Add Ctrl+Enter shortcut in Find in File results (keeps focus on Output Window). - Better handling of multiple versions of the configuration file. - Configuration file should be less prone to corruption. - Exporting Decimal Text now writes left-aligned numbers.
Bug Fixes - Fixed templates variable arrays if the size of the array is greater than 2 GB. - Fixed bug where a file could display no data after canceling a script or template. - Fixed bug drawing the ruler when certain fonts are chosen. - Now correctly report physical disk size on Windows XP or higher. - Improved error message when using shift operators. - Improved error message when defining a structure twice with typedef. - Fixed empty structure warning when using bitfields and no padding. - Fixed bug with drawing Fg: in the template results. - Fixed bug selecting bytes in Unicode. - Fixed bug extending a selection with Shift+click. - Fixed reading bookmarks containing enums. - Fixed opening files containing '@'. - Fixed importing a hex text containing very long lines. - Fixed using bitfields mixing named and unnamed variable. - Fixed auto-detect of decimal import text. - Fixed bug using post increment during array access. - Fixed printfs sometimes being colored red after an error. - Fixed syntax highlighting issue with quotes. - Fixed possible crash with the FileClose function. - Fixed error message when defining struct variables incorrectly. - Fixed a typo in the welcome dialog. - Fixed issue with the syntax highlighting menu. - Fixed an issue with double-clicking on find-in-file results. - Fixed Variables Tab not being updated correctly after running a script. - Fixed issue working with files that are deleted. - Fixed issue passing strings to functions which are then passed to other functions. - Fixed selecting issue by dragging over the last line in the text editor. - Fixed negative enums. - Fix for optimizing warning on struct that just contains a 'string' variable.
