1.8.1 Alpha 2

Changes in 1.8.1 alpha 2:

• Fix crash on launch from 1.8.1 alpha 1 due to incorrect configuration of Python dependency

Changes in 1.8.1 alpha 1:

• Update application and document icon to be more modern (thanks to maxtron95!)
• Improve speed of initial searches for large apps by reading all memory serially
• Update Scripting to use Python 3.12.5
• Fix bug where Memory viewer's data inspector text field cannot be selected
• Fix potential multi-threaded logic issue in address searches
• Simplify process of building project in Xcode for development by no longer requiring set up of self-signed code signing certificate

1.8.1 Alpha 1

Update: this may crash on launch due to incorrect Python install path. I will fix this in next alpha update.

Changes:

• Update application and document icon to be more modern (thanks to maxtron95!)

1.8

Changes:

• Add multi-level address searching to find stable addresses to dynamic variables using pointers
• Add menu item and shortcut in View menu to toggle between the search type (value vs address)
• Add option to watch for read or write accesses to base address for variables that use pointers
• Add label assignment to variables and allow referencing labels from other variables through label()
• Add drag and drop relating of variables by dragging and dropping a variable onto another labeled variable
• Add debug.updateVariable() and debug.variableAddress() functions for accessing labeled variables through Scripting
• Improve table selection when inserting/removing rows in search window
• Add advanced address search filter options in advanced settings popover
• Decrease control size for advanced popover options
• Fix issue where hex expressions were sometimes not evaluated in specific fields
• Move less than operator before greater than operator in operator popup button
• Improve next key views between search field and search options
• Improve tooltips and annotation/relativization of variables, especially dynamic variables
• Use base() for relativizing variables even if the target is old and doesn't use ASLR
• Add 'Copy Raw Address' option to copy raw address without the expression used to evaluate it
• Allow using symbol() in variable address formula
• Fix Python scripts not opening in IDLE correctly
• Reduce variable annotation work when searches are progressing
• Enable memory viewer data inspector by default
• Improve validation to check if a process cannot debugged due to security protections
• Updated minimum macOS supported version to 10.14.6

Discussion for 1.8 alphas

1.8 Alpha 3

Changes:

• Fix bug with address searches where variable addresses were sometimes not fully evaluated
• Add address searching for |offset| ≤ MaxOffset which enables finding negative offsets
• Add advanced address search filter options in advanced settings popover
• Decrease control size for advanced popover options
• Fix issue where hex expressions were sometimes not evaluated in specific fields
• Fix crash when ignoring data alignment for address searches
• Increase minimum search document window size slightly
• Move less than operator before greater than operator in operator popup button
• Add menu item and shortcut in View menu to toggle between the search type (value vs address)
• Improve next key views between search field and search options

1.8 Alpha 2

Changes:

• Optimize address/pointer scanner
• Fix integer overflow issue with narrowing indirect results by value
• Fix tooltips and annotation/relativization issues in some cases

1.8 Alpha 1

Changes:

• Add address/pointers scanner to searching to find pointers using static base addresses. After you scan for a value, you can change the search type to 'address' and adjust the levels and offset. More info may be posted in the Issues.
• Add alternate option to watch write/read accesses to base address of variable if option is held down
• Add 'Copy Raw Address' option to copy raw address without the expression used to evaluate it
• Fix issue where sometimes variables would not be relativized in a search document
• Use base() for relativizing variables even if the target is old and doesn't use ASLR
• Allow using symbol() in variable address formula
• Fix python scripts not opening in IDLE correctly
• Reduce variable annotation work when searches are progressing and better coalesce intermediate progress results
• Enable memory viewer data inspector by default
• Updated minimum macOS supported version to 10.14.6. 1.8 may require 10.15 in the future, though

1.7.13 Alpha 1

• Allow using symbol() in variable address formula
• Fix python scripts not opening in IDLE correctly
• Reduce variable annotation work when searches are progressing
• Enable memory viewer data inspector by default
• Update dynamic variables addresses when narrow searching
• Update compatibility with building project on Sonoma
• Updated minimum macOS supported version to 10.14.6

1.7.12

• Added code injection support for native arm64 targets
• Infer default disassembler mode for Rosetta translated targets
• Allow changing interpreted disassembler mode in Debugger
