Release of Function Hacker v2.4

The long-awaited Function Hacker v2.4 has been released today. Zelimir and I put quite a bit of work into this update, and the main changes are summarized as:

• A Quick Filter feature has been added. This is a quick text filter on the Description column of the function list.
• Changed to software vertex processing, which may fix some problems with displaying the call display bar.
• Upgrading to a new custom disassembly engine.
• Can zoom in on the call display bar with the mouse scroll wheel.
• Shortcut key of CTRL+F5 has been added to start and stop a recording.
• Can load symbols from .map files. Right click in the function list and select the load from .map file option.
• Estimating the number of arguments for functions has been fixed, this should result in far fewer target process crashes when sending function calls.
• Functions can now be renamed. Click on the function name in the Description column, and type in a custom name.
• Advanced users can now edit exact heaps to disassemble.
• Now recognizes function calls to jump table PE import tables.
• Can enable or disable multiple functions at the same time.
• The options dialog to change the cache size and maximum number of functions to record is now skipped to reduce the complexity of the program for the user.

I am going to be taking more time off this project to pursue other ideas. Zelimir Bozic is going to be the main person working on this for the next while.
