WpfHexEditor IDE v0.6.5.8 — Release Notes

Cumulative release since v0.6.4.75 · 2026-05-12

This release rolls up everything shipped between v0.6.4.75 and the prior 0.6.5.225 build, then resets the IDE build number to a small monotonic counter inside the 0.6.5.* revision slot — no functional change versus 0.6.5.225.

🆕 Major Features

📊 Code Analysis Report

A full code-quality report panel wired into the IDE, with three scopes (Solution / Project / File), an 11-tab layout, and an end-to-end fix flow.

  • Scope-aware SplitButton re-run — left part re-runs the last scope; dropdown offers Re-run (same scope), Run Solution, Run Project…, Run File…; the scope label (Solution: WpfHexEditorControl, Project: WpfHexEditor.App, File: Foo.cs) is displayed in italic between buttons and filters when a report is loaded; _lastScope / _lastPath persisted in CodeAnalysisModule so switching tabs does not reset the scope
  • Treemap context menu — right-click any tile: Open File, Copy Path, Copy Metrics, Run Analysis on File, Filter to This Project, Highlight Top 10 Hotspots (toggle dims non-hotspot tiles)
  • Inline Code Actions (Ctrl+.) — CodeActionRegistry + 3 mechanical fixers (WH0032, WH0062, WH0070) + Suppress here, plugged into the LSP code-action pipeline (ADR-019)
  • Suppressions UX — 4-mode pyramid — Source / File / Baseline / Disable in the Issues context menu, with automatic re-run after apply (ADR-017)
  • Roslyn fixers v2 — IRoslynFixer + AsyncVoidToTask / UnusedLocalRemove / UnusedPrivateRemove plug into the existing CodeActionRegistry alongside the regex v1 fixers (ADR-025)
  • Historical Trending — per-run HistoryEntry snapshots + sparkline on Overview; honours SnapshotRetentionDays (ADR-020)
  • Duplication tab redesign — master/detail layout, side-by-side code preview with whitespace-only diff, severity chips, virtualized DataGrid, 8-item context menu, Markdown export (ADR-023)
  • Categories + SARIF 2.1.0 — RuleCategory enum + RuleMetadata table; SARIF export with enriched rule descriptors; radial chord CyclicDepGraph on the Coupling tab (ADR-024)
  • 15 new localization keys translated across all 28 satellite languages

📝 DocumentEditor — Glyph-Accurate Engine, Rulers, Forensic Trio

The rich-text editor switches its caret, hit-testing, and ruler pipeline to glyph-run geometry, gains interactive page rulers, and adds a three-feature forensic toolkit.

  • Glyph-accurate hit-test & caret — new GetCharOffsetFromGlyphLines and GetCaretXYFromGlyphLines helpers route all hit-testing and caret positioning through PlacedSegment.AdvanceWidths and InlineVisualLine.CharStart/CharEnd (same pipeline as DrawVisualLines); eliminates the caret/insert misalignment on wrapped lines caused by FormattedText vs GlyphTypeface wrap-width divergence
  • Synchronous RebuildLayout in all edit paths (InsertTextAtCaret, SplitBlockAtCaret, DeleteAtCaret) — no more one-frame stale layout between typed character and caret beam
  • Interactive page rulers — horizontal + vertical, drag-to-resize top/bottom margins, drag-to-move Word/VS-style selection; LayoutTransform-based zoom with snap-to-pixel in GlyphRunRenderer; ruler graduation anchored to PageCanvasPadding × zoom − scrollOffset × zoom; horizontal ruler indent markers update on every caret movement (mouse + keyboard)
  • PageCanvasPadding public accessor — exposed on DocumentCanvasRenderer so dependent controls (vertical ruler, minimap) can compute scroll-relative geometry without internal coupling
  • SetVerticalOffset fires PageGeometryChanged — vertical scroll now notifies rulers and minimap viewport in addition to the existing PageChanged event
  • Forensic trio (ADR-024) — P1 rich Copy/Paste (HTML + RTF), P2 Anonymize (savers honour Extra["anonymized"]), P3 Embedded Objects pane (extract + open-in-hex); 532 satellite entries
  • DOCX / RTF / ODT style cascade — DocxStyleTable + 5-stage docDefaults → pStyle → pPr → rStyle → rPr resolution (ADR-013); RtfStyleTable (font/color/style + basedOn flatten); ODT parent-style-name flattening + para→run cascade + fo:color (ADR-016)
  • DOCX family + Flat ODT — DocxDocumentLoader extended to .docm/.dotx/.dotm; new FlatOdtDocumentLoader; 9 formats total, plugin v1.1.0 (ADR-018)
  • Waves B–G features — headers/footers, page breaks, table insert/edit dialog, hyperlink insert dialog, auto-list (bullet & numbered), page settings dialog (margins/paper/orientation), rich context menu

🔀 HexEditor Split View (#229)

HexEditorSplitHost wraps two HexEditor instances sharing the same ByteProvider.

  • Inline split toggle at the top of the scrollbar; independent scroll, selection, caret per pane
  • ByteProvider.DataChanged propagates modify / insert / delete to the peer pane (previously only modify events were forwarded)
  • Synced across panes: breadcrumb bar, format detection blocks, undo/redo, custom background overlays
  • Focus borders in split mode only; status bar hidden on secondary pane
  • Standalone-safe — HexEditorSplitHost used in Sample.HexEditor
  • IDocumentEditor undo/redo always delegated to the primary pane (shared UndoEngine)
  • Options toggle ShowSplitToggleButton; layout persistence
  • HexEditor 3.3.1 ships this host plus an auto-generated HexEditorSettings panel, parsed fields, and a unified xmlns:hex namespace

📐 Class Diagram — Round-Trip + UML 2.5 + DSL Importers

Round-trip code↔diagram editing for C# and VB.NET, with live sync and rich import/export.

  • Live Sync code → diagram (ADR-021) — FileSystemWatcher + Roslyn workspace events, 300 ms debounce, cycle-prevention via per-file suppression window
  • Round-trip diagram → code (ADR-022) — Roslyn DocumentEditor patches .cs/.vb on diagram edit; SourceFileBackupUndoEntry double-layer undo; preview-diff dialog
  • Round-trip wiring (ADR-034) — editor mutations (rename type/member, add/delete member, delete type, duplicate, change visibility) wired via RoundTripScope helper; in-memory-only nodes skip silently; 8 integration tests
  • VB.NET parity (ADR-037) — VisualBasicRoundTripEditor mirrors C# (11 MemberEdit cases via VB SyntaxFactory + Formatter); 13 VB tests
  • UML 2.5 model enrichments (ADR-030) — generics with constraints, user-defined stereotypes, multiplicities
  • Industrial undo + alignment (ADR-031) — undo depth 200 → 2000; DiagramAlignmentService (6 align + 2 distribute + equalize-size)
  • DSL importers (ADR-032) — IDiagramImporter + Registry + MermaidImporter + PlantUmlImporter; round-trip with existing exporters
  • Target file resolver (ADR-035) — DiagramTargetFileResolver infers .cs target for Add Class/Interface/Enum/Struct
  • ClassDiagram SDK surface (ADR-033) — WpfHexEditor.Editor.ClassDiagram.Core re-exported via WpfHexEditor.SDK; third-party plugins get RoundTrip / Import / CodeGen / Layout / Model contracts transitively
  • ClassDiagram code-gen pipeline (ADR-014) — IR + ILanguageGenerator + Roslyn SyntaxFactory; C# + VB generators; ExportCodeDialog with live preview + JSON settings; 65/65 tests pass

🌍 Full IDE Localization — 28 Languages

Per-assembly LocalizedResourceDictionary localization across all panels, menus, context menus, dialogs, and toolbar buttons — 77.9 % DynamicResource coverage; remaining literals are intentionally English (proper nouns, technical identifiers, icon glyphs).

ar-SA · cs-CZ · da-DK · de-DE · el-GR · es-419 · es-ES · fi-FI · fr-CA · fr-FR · hi-IN · hu-HU · id-ID · it-IT · ja-JP · ko-KR · nl-NL · pl-PL · pt-BR · pt-PT · ro-RO · ru-RU · sv-SE · th-TH · tr-TR · uk-UA · vi-VN · zh-CN

Includes 4 new OptionsResources keys (CodeEditor_Tab_Formatting, CodeEditor_HighlightCurrentLine, TextEditor_WordWrap, TextEditor_HighlightCurrentLine) × 29 locales, fully DynamicResource on CodeEditorFormattingPage and TextEditorOptionsPage, plus a new ErrorPanelOptionsPage.

🐞 Core Module Integrations

Two former plugins promoted to first-class core IDE modules — extension points preserved.

  • DebugModule — WpfHexEditor.Plugins.Debugger merged into WpfHexEditor.App/Debug; nine debug panels (Locals, Autos, Watch, Call Stack, Threads, Tasks, Registers, Memory, Disassembly) pre-register shells at startup for immediate docking restore
  • VS-style Call Stack toolbar — search field, navigate backward/forward (← / →), Show All Threads, Show External Code toggles
  • IDebugAdapterRegistry + IDebugVisualizerRegistry SDK extension points preserved
  • AssemblyExplorer — merged into WpfHexEditor.App/AssemblyExplorer; NuGet diamond resolved via Scripting.Common 4.14 pin

✨ Other Additions

Editors & Code Intelligence

  • WpfCodeEditor 0.9.9.0 — inline code actions, Refactor ▶ menu with preview dialog (rename, extract method, inline variable, change signature), dynamic snippets with variable expansion + user store (~/.wpfcodeeditor/snippets/*.json), Debugger integration (Data Tips, Autos, edit-in-place, Run to Cursor, Exception Settings, Attach to Process), IDebugValueProvider SDK contract + DebugValueHintsLayer overlay, LSP semantic token colorisation, zoom snap-to-pixel
  • Roslyn semantic inline hints upgrade — IReferenceCountProvider SDK contract decouples reference counting from the Roslyn implementation; exposed via IDEHostContext; whfmt-driven CanProvide opt-in per language
  • Ctrl+Click Links & Emails — ClickableLinksEnabled / ClickableEmailsEnabled DPs in CodeEditor and TextEditor; opens URLs in default browser and emails in default mail client
  • Goto Position dialog — jump directly to a byte offset in the hex view
  • LSP semantic highlighting — semantic token colorisation wired in Code Editor

UI, Docking & Window Management

  • Window menu — new top-level _Window menu — Close / Close All But This / Close All Documents / Next / Previous Document (Ctrl+Tab), F11 fullscreen via Win32 MonitorFromWindow / GetMonitorInfo (covers full monitor including taskbar, restores exact position)
  • Docking 0.9.8.0 — horizontal reorder for docked tool-panel tabs (drag left/right within the same edge); tab-switch triple-fire eliminated (layout passes 3 → 1); StaticResource toolbar labels resolved on first display; full localization wired
  • Docking overlay polish — VS-like overlay border with active-tab gap, placement-aware tab styles (top → top CornerRadius, bottom → bottom CornerRadius), SelectionBorder matrix (TopBar/FullBorder/Glow × Top/Bottom)
  • Docking layout auto-reset — corrupt or oversized saved layouts auto-reset on startup instead of crashing; layout persistence save/restore on close/load wired in MainWindow
  • Context menu polish — drop shadow + accent band on all context menus; MDL2 icons; Light theme ContextMenu aligned with Dark theme style

HexEditor Engine

  • Shared UndoEngine — IUndoAwareEditor contract + HexByteUndoEntry; DocumentBuffer undo wiring via ByteProvider; Ctrl+Z/Y history shared across editor types
  • ByteProvider extraction — promoted to standalone WpfHexEditor.Core.ByteProvider library and published as a standalone NuGet package; regression test suite added
  • HexEditor drag-selection auto-scroll — window-level mouse capture for both HexEditor and TextEditor; scroll continues while the cursor is outside the control boundary
  • Column highlight defaults — ShowColumnHighlight and ShowAsciiColumnHighlight default to false to reduce visual noise out of the box

Build & NuGet Infrastructure

  • NuGet CI pipeline — generic publish workflow covering all 23 packages
  • NuGet satellite isolation — _BundledProjectDll direct-path pattern; single _AllSatellites glob + per-filename Condition; ResxEditor, Debugger, and other unrelated satellites no longer appear inside standalone packages
  • GeneratePackageOnBuild=false on all non-release projects to prevent auto-pack during solution builds

🐛 Notable Fixes

  • Caret / insert position mismatch on wrapped lines — GetCharOffsetAtPoint used FormattedText geometry (different wrap width from GlyphRun); fixed by routing all hit-testing through GetCharOffsetFromGlyphLines
  • Vertical ruler not tracking document scroll — SetVerticalOffset did not fire PageGeometryChanged; both the firing and the subscription path are fixed
  • Ruler indent markers frozen on paragraph click — OnMouseDown and edit-path operations did not call caret-moved notifications; horizontal ruler indent markers only updated when CommitCaret was reached via keyboard
  • Document opens dirty — UndoEngine.MarkSaved() and model.IsDirty = false now called in BindModel
  • GetCaretX ArgumentOutOfRangeException — guard added when _caretOffset exceeds the current block's text length after a deletion
  • Minimap viewport rect disproportionate — viewport rectangle in DocumentMiniMapControl was computed using pre-zoom metrics; fixed to use the same scaled content height as the renderer
  • AssemblyExplorer blank panel on restore — dual-cache bug where DockControl._displayContent kept serving a stale placeholder after _contentCache was cleared; both caches now invalidated together
  • Module panel restore dual-cache — clearing only _contentCache left _displayContent serving the stale placeholder on next activation; both caches now cleared on EagerContentKey miss
  • Code Analysis empty column headers — DataGridTextColumn.Header, ComboBoxItem.Content, and button labels were rendering as empty because DynamicResource CodeAnalysis_* keys require the dictionary to be in the local UserControl scope; fixed by including AppLocalizedDictionary in UserControl.Resources.MergedDictionaries
  • Code Analysis Re-run always ran on solution — _reRunCallback was wired to GetSolutionPath() unconditionally; now uses _lastScope / _lastPath
  • HexEditor ByteProvider.DataChanged — now propagates all mutation types (modify / insert / delete) to the peer pane in split view
  • BreadcrumbBar freeze + phantom row — Render-priority dispatcher guard prevents mouse re-dispatch loop during visual tree rebuild; visual tree locked during navigation; XAML/code-behind duplication resolved; double-rebuild-per-click eliminated
  • Bookmark chip re-render — stopped rebuilding chips on every navigation tick; rebuild only on actual bookmark set changes
  • Minimap scroll — scroll position in MinimapControl now tracks viewport changes correctly
  • Plugin panel loading overlay — suppressed after the first initialization; no longer flashes on subsequent panel activations
  • ClassDiagram layout loop — removed ArrangeOverride 100 k extent that caused an infinite WPF layout loop
  • Satellite contamination in nupkgs — unrelated assembly satellites no longer appear inside standalone packages
  • NU5118 collision — multiple TfmSpecificPackageFile items with overlapping culture folders resolved by single-glob + condition pattern
  • WpfDocking toolbar StaticResource — localized labels now resolve correctly on first display (pre-register output queue)
  • DocEditor ruler zoom alignment — ruler horizontal origin computed via TranslatePoint from renderer canvas to ruler control; handles margin, padding, and container offsets correctly at all zoom levels
