SweetScape Software is happy to announce 010 Editor version 10.0. This new version includes a powerful debugger for finding and fixing problems with 010 Editor Scripts and Binary Templates. As well Scripts and Templates are now threaded, meaning other editing operations can be done while a Script or Template is running. To view the full list of changes see our webpage:

The new debugger allows stopping at each line of a Script or Template and investigating the value of variables. The yellow arrow above indicates the current line being executed and can be stepped through the file. Red arrows indicate breakpoints and can be set by clicking on the address column of a Script or Template. Check the value of a variable by placing the mouse over the variable name when stopped at a line. Most of the debugger functionality can be controlled using the new Debug menu on the main menu:

Three new tabs have been added to the Inspector tab group: Watch, Call Stack and Breakpoints. Watches can be added by double-clicking in the Name column and entering any expression and this expression is evaluated every time execution is stopped. The Call Stack shows which functions or structs were called to reach the current line and the Breakpoints tab lists all breakpoints in the current file.

When editing Text Files the line number and ruler labels are now hidden by default, but place the mouse cursor over the address column or ruler for a second to view the hidden information in a hint popup. Line numbers can be turned back on using 'View > Addresses > Show Addresses' and Ruler labels can be turned back on using 'View > Ruler > Show Labels'.

The Show Whitespace command ('View > Tabs/Whitespace > Show Whitespace') now shows symbols to indicate different types of linefeeds. The symbols displayed can be controlled with the Text Editor page of the Options dialog.

If you purchased 010 Editor within the last year you are eligible for a free upgrade to version 10.0; however, if you purchased 010 Editor more than a year ago you will have to purchase an upgrade to use the new version. If you do require an upgrade, the new version can be used as a 30-day trial to see if you would like to upgrade.

The easiest way to determine if you require an upgrade is to click 'Tools > Register' on the 010 Editor main menu. If using 010 Editor 3.0 or later, you should see a line near the bottom that says 'Support/Maintenance (Free Upgrades) Expires:'. If the date listed there is before the official release date (Dec 6th, 2019), you will require an upgrade. Note that if you are eligible for a free upgrade, you do not have to obtain a new license and your old license will automatically work with the new version.

To purchase an upgrade costs $39.95 for a commercial license or $19.95 for a home/academic license. Multi-user discounts are available and purchases can be made from our online store:

Older versions of 010 Editor are still available for download from our main download page.

Thanks to all of our customers and it's by your feedback and suggestions that 010 Editor has become more powerful. Please continue to send us your ideas and we hope you enjoy using the new version.

Sincerely,
The SweetScape Software Team
