Additions

  • Added basic process memory provider support to macOS

    • The minimap can now display the highlighting of individual bytes
  • Added a digital signal pattern visualizer
  • The pattern data view now uses nicer colors and strings to convey information
  • The recent files section on the welcome screen can now be collapsed

    • Larger values are still possible by CTRL-clicking into the slider and entering a value manually
