Feb 1, 2026

February 2026: Delivered cross-platform UI and input enhancements for ImHex with a focus on business value and stability. Implemented font rendering and DPI scaling improvements across Wayland, Windows, and macOS; overhauled web app input handling to GLFW3 for reliable windowing, scaling, and touch input; and completed maintenance and tooling updates to improve build stability and packaging (libwolv, libbacktrace, WiX toolkit). Fixed key defects affecting data export and path handling in hex editor and project saving for non-ASCII paths. The updates reduce support tickets, broaden platform compatibility, and demonstrate strong cross‑tooling and performance optimization.
