FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Lane Roathe (214) 618-5496

Ideas From the Deep announces the release of HexEdit v2.20. This version constitutes the first official Universal Binary release, as well as addressing the major issue of .dmg and other files being associated with HexEdit.

HexEdit, an Open Source project, is available from Ideas From the Deep at:

<http://www.ideasfromthedeep.com/hexedit>

The source for HexEdit is hosted on SourceForge:

<http://hexedit.sourceforge.net>

The full change log for the v2.20 release follows:

Universal Binary build! (thanks to the XCode 2.4 project and a few byte swaps required submitted by Svitkine)
Removed cvs header items (just made merges harder and we're on svn now anyway)
Hopefully updated svn repository with good resource files (thanks to sieghard)
New files are once again saved with the correct default HexEdit file type of BINA (existing files creator/type are not changed!)
Converted resource files into data-fork resource files and text .r sources
Converted codewarrior project to use .r files for resources instead of .rsrc files (couldn't use datafork resources!)
Saved copy/paste commands for re-creating .r resource files (took a full day to figure out! And stupid things like 'TEXT' are unknown!)
Put in Ben's new bundle plist that should (hopefully) fix the OS X "everthing, esp. .dmg files, opens with HexEdit) issues!
Checked in a 68K application in MacBinary and .zip format as the actual app looses it's resource fork in svn
Made sure XCode 2.0 and 2.4 and CW 8 projects compile, link and application built runs
Added new icons (thanks to Ben Boldt)
Improved compare w/highlighting changes (thanks to George Warner)
Fixed print offsets (thanks to Ritchie)
Reports of paste not working in find dialog; unable to repo so hopefully fixed
Fixed File menu resource in classic (missing item broke file compare, quit, etc)
Fix FAT linking order (Carbon must come first, so 68K resources don't overwrite)
HexEdit is now distributed two separate archives for a cleaner end user experience:
1. Application & Documentation: a .dmg image for easy drag and drop install
2. Source code & related build files in a .zip archive for cross platform use
The version control repository on sourceforge was migrated from cvs to svn
The new svn archive now includes the distribution folder as well as the source folder
(one of the many advantages of switching to svn)
