First public update of HexCheck is finally available for download. Version 1.1.0 adds only few smaller but significant changes.
1. Switch from C++ to C programming language:
HexCheck is now written in C programming language. This change was for the most part only a matter of switching compilers because the entire codebase was already written in C-like C++. HexCheck 1.1.0 should work exactly the same as it did before.
2. Switch to musl libc on Linux:
Binary for Linux platform is now built with musl libc. As result, Linux binary for this version is more than 10x smaller (just a little bit over 45 KB). HexCheck 1.1.0 was tested also on non-musl distribution - Debian GNU/Linux 13. Support for Linux platform remains in experimental state. HexCheck might or might not work correctly on your distribution.
3. Various other small improvements:
One incorrect entry in resource file for Windows operating system was fixed and this version of HexCheck was built with strictest warning levels.
