Changes

Features

Packaging

v0.9.0

Changes

• Breaking change (binary): setting the -o/--display-offset flag no longer overrides the value set by --skip #115. The first displayed address is now the sum of the two values - this matches the behaviour of xxd.

Features

• Allow relative and negative byte offsets (e.g. hexyl --skip=-1block), see #99 (@ErichDonGubler)
• Added -l as another alias for '-n/--length' (xxd compatibility), see #121 and #135 (@TheDoctor314)

Bugfixes

• Argument --length silently takes precedence over --bytes, see #105
• Print warning on empty content, see #107 and #108
• Disallow block sizes of zero, see #110
• Fix newline appearing in --version output, see #131 and #133 (@scimas)

Other

• Better diagnostic messages, see #98 (@ErichDonGubler)

Packaging

• hexyl is now available on snapstore, see #116 (@purveshpatel511)

v0.8.0

Features

• A new --skip <N> / -s <N> option can be used to skip the first N bytes of the input, see #16, #88 (@Tarnadas, @MaxJohansen, @ErichDonGubler)
• The --length/--bytes/--skip/--display-offset options can now take units for their value argument, for example:

  hexyl /dev/random --length=1KiB
  hexyl $(which hexyl) --skip=1MiB --length=10KiB
  

  Both decimal SI prefixes (kB, MB, …) as well as binary IEC prefixes (KiB, MiB, …) are supported. In addition, there is a new --block-size <SIZE> option that can be used to control the size of the block unit:

  hexyl /dev/random --block-size=4kB --length=2block
  

  See: #44 (@ErichDonGubler and @aswild)

Other

• Various improvements throughout the code base by @ErichDonGubler

Packaging

• hexyl is now available on Void Linux, see #91 (@notramo)

v0.7.0

• Added an example on how to use hexyl as a library: https://github.com/sharkdp/hexyl/blob/v0.7.0/examples/simple.rs

v0.6.0

Features

• hexyl can now be used as a library, see #67 (@tommilligan)

• Added a new -o/--display-offset option to add a certain offset to the reported file positions, see #57 (@tommilligan)

Bugfixes

• Remove additional space on short input, see #69 (@nalshihabi)

Other

• Performance improvements, see #73 and #66

v0.5.1

v0.5.0

Features

• Added a new --border option with support for various styles (Unicode, ASCII, None), see #54 (@dmke)
• The --length/-n argument can be passed as a hexadecimal number (hexyl -n 0xff /dev/urandom), see #45 (@Qyriad)
• Added --bytes/-c as an alias for --length/-n, see #48 (@selfup)

Changes

• Print header immediately before the first line, see #51 (@mziter)
