While previous versions automatically decoded standard PE (Windows) and ELF (Linux) modules, this release gives you granular control over non-standard or raw data.

Single-byte searches are up to 2x faster , while pattern searches are up to 4x faster . Simple wildcard searches can be up to 50x faster as they no longer rely on the heavy regular expression engine.

A new "alignment" parameter allows you to restrict search results to specific offsets (e.g., only finding a pattern if it starts at a multiple of 4 bytes). Hex Editor Neo Version History - HHD Software

The color selection window is now fully dark-mode friendly and supports keyboard navigation and clipboard pasting for colors.

To improve accuracy, you can manually specify the locations of different code tables and offsets for the disassembler to follow.

Beyond the disassembler, version 7.25 introduced major speed optimizations and quality-of-life improvements:

You can now disassemble any arbitrary data block within a loaded document, regardless of whether it is part of a known executable format.
