WhiteBox v0.89.0

Features

• Add access to all global symbols (functions, variables) from the function caller
  • call setup/utility functions
  • initialize globals
  • call functions that in turn call the function you’re inspecting, (e.g. just call main();)
• Interactive help mode (ctrl+F1) - hover over GUI elements to see what they do. The information in these will be improved and expanded in coming releases.
• Menu options to pause/reset the internal compiler

Improvements

• Feature flags now available from the menu as well as from the command line
• New folder layout with single launcher to better handle user data across multiple versions while remaining portable. Launcher selects the executable with the highest version
• Scope bars made more visible
• New error handling system gracefully handles and reports many more issues (not yet fully incorporated)
• Address space for user executables tentatively expanded to 64GiB to account for large static data. Dynamically allocated data has no WhiteBox-imposed limit.
• Timeline can be zoomed and scrolled without the WhiteBox app having focus (currently Windows-only)

Plugins

• Add Visual Studio 2022 (API is different from earlier editions)
• Sublime: add commands to command palette

Fixes

• Opening readme no longer blocks the main UI
• Text input undo histories are now separated for different functions’ callers
• Cursor highlights no longer shown when file is unsaved
• Keyboard shortcuts without mod were triggering when mod keys held down
• Clearing your code file no longer causes an error
• (lots of errors now reported rather than assertedcrashed on)
• Minor bug fixes…
