Massive UX improvements, Custom Disassemblers, MSVC support

[WerWolv]

Features

• ImHex now uses the native menu bar on macOS
• You can now set separate fonts for the main UI, the Hex Editor and the Pattern Editor
• Added a new ARM64 AppImage release as well as a WebAssembly release to self-host ImHexWeb
• ImHex can now be fully compiled using MSVC and ClangCL on Windows! Huge thanks to @mrexodia
  • The main releases are still built with MinGW but this should hopefully make it easier to contribute to ImHex!
• We now provide build attestation for each build generated through our CI so you can verify exactly from which run an artifact has been built
• Added initial support for custom disassemblers
  • This lets you define disassemblers for custom instruction sets using a simple JSON format
• Added messaging support for macOS and Linux
  • This allows you to use ImHex as a command line tool on macOS and Linux to control the currently open ImHex instance
  • For example imhex --open "SomeFile.bin" --select 0x100 0x200 will open the SomeFile.bin file in the current instance and then select addresses 0x100 to 0x200
• Added Russian translation! Huge thanks to @Lemon4ksan
• Added a title bar backdrop color gradients and accent colors
• Added utf16 and utf32 string and char types
• Added option to randomize window title
  • In case some stupid anti-cheat is trying to detect ImHex in the future :)
• Added new --select, --pattern and --debug-mode subcommands
• Added support for OpenGL post processing shaders
  • This lets you load custom shaders now by placing a shader.vert and shader.frag file in one of the ImHex resource folders.
  • These shaders can apply any post processing to the rendered image
• Added New File option to the GNOME launcher and a --new cli option
• Added support for scanning binaries for UTF-8 strings
• Added visibility toggle to hide bookmark highlighting
• Added option to fit hex columns to screen width
• Added setting to disable hex editor highlights entirely
• Added a preview to the Edit -> Copy as options
• Added "Jump to address" option to data inspector row context menu
• Added option to change radix of numbers in hex editor view
• Added context menu and next/previous buttons to the data inspector
• Added option to move selection back to hex editor footer
• Added option to copy data as escaped string
• Added shortcut for Copy as -> Custom Encoding

Improvements

• Replaced the Windows and Linux app icon with the one from the Papyrus Icon Project!
• The DMG on macOS now looks a lot nicer than before
• Revamped the frame rate limiting system to make ImHex feel much less laggy by default and make it use less CPU resources
• ImHex now uses Jetbrains Mono as its default font instead of the ImGui default font
• The settings window can now be resized
• The ImHex window is now hidden on macOS when close button is pressed
• Allowed all highlights to overlap each other
• Allowed the favorite column in the pattern data view to be hidden
• Allowed command palette to be closed by clicking on the menu bar
• All installed content store items are now force updated after an ImHex update

Bug Fixes

• Fixed various issues with the auto updater
• RGBA8 data processor node not working correctly
• Very slow processing of large pattern console outputs
• Windows forwarder application not working when piping output
• Writing not working correctly through a provider view
• Crash on Linux if XDG_SESSION_TYPE is not set
• Crash when closing ImHex with one or more view providers open
• Uninitialized buffers in resize operation
• Exception being thrown while loading projects
• Crash when certain pattern language exceptions were thrown
• Pattern Editor shortcuts not working correctly on different languages (fix: fixes for issue #2084 #2085)
• Pattern Editor Find and Replace history (fix: find-replace history #2064)
• Crash in 3D Visualizer, improved error messages (fix: unreported crash on 3d-visualizer #2062)
• Disable bogus Keypad to function key conversions on macOS
• Empty regions in Intel Hex and Motorola SREC files not being displayed correctly
• Make sure provider switch buttons and close button don't overlap
• Hang when filtering for a large number of items in the pattern data view
• Off-by-one when calculating hashes of selected regions
• ImHex freezing on AMD GPUs when resizing
• Rendering issues with text editor in bookmark view
• Ctrl sometimes getting stuck when pressing ALT GR and other keys at the same time
• Missing endian setting in ARM64 disassembler
• Clicking past end of line in text editor putting cursor before last character

Pattern Language

• The evaluator now tries to keep as many patterns as it possibly can when an error occurs
• Added cursor positions to the error stack traces
• Exported global variables are now displayed in the output
• Added support for rvalue assignments inside of structs
• Fixed various issues when importing patterns as types
• Make decompress functions return number of read bytes
• Allow #pragma magic to index from the end of the data with negative addresses
• Fixed error spam when encountering an error in the Lexer
