IO Ninja

IO Ninja is a professional, scriptable, multi-purpose terminal emulator, network sniffer and IO monitor. It's aimed at network security experts, system administrators, and all kinds of software/hardware/embedded developers

Introduces: new J-Link RTT plugin, new Serial MI Dump Viewer plugin, new layer UI, applying layer to .njlog files, run sessions as Administrator on Windows, signed .exe on Windows, support for RTS-driven half-duplex Modbus over RS-485, direct foreign data pointers in Jancy for increased host-to-script communication efficiency.

Main application changelog:

• nj_app: fix: use the latest security patch openssl-1.0.2s
• nj_app: fix: mark user plugins *before* adding to the list (so the list shows paths in tooltips)
• nj_app: user plugin page should use 16x16 icons (for consistency)package: sign ioninja.exe, ioninja-server.exe, ioninja-server-admin.exe this way, elevation prompts look better (blue and with an icon)
• nj_app: don't show "Run As Administrator" on pre-Vista Windows (ver < 6)
• nj_srv_adm: added a thread for pumping between STDIN and the STDIN named pipe
• nj_srv: added option: --stdin-pipe with this option, StdinThread is reading from the pipe instead of STD_INPUT_HANDLE (required for elevation)
• nj_srv: added an icon to ioninja-server.exe & ioninja-server-admin.exe
• nj_srv: ioninja-server-admin is now an elevator (creates a ioninja-server via ShellExecuteEx)
• nj_srv: removed app-srv & srv-app transport file handles (unused)
• nj_etx: fix: clear module if jitting fails (otherwise, we end up with a module in a weird half-baked state)
• nj_etx: set error in processMsg_OnActionError (may happen during compile stage, so we need srcpos for error highlighting)
• nj_ui: added ComboBox::setItems (also, unified ComboBox item and EnumProperty item)
• nj_app: fix: incorrect check for UserPluginFlag in UserPluginSettingPage::on_removeButton_clicked nj_app: typo fix in TransmitHistory::last()
• nj_app: fix: followRedirectGet always returned false
• nj_app: fix: uninitialized fields in DocumentLayer
• nj_srv: fix: uninitialized field Server::m_paths
• nj_app, nj_ui: add document groups for logs, too; also, initially populate document groups with an "empty" prop so it looks more consistent
• nj_srv: fix: properly handle start of log documents (now that we can add layers on logs, too)
• nj_app: added Plugin::PureLayerFlag (can be applied to log files)
• nj_app: rename: SessionSettingPage -> DocumentSettingPage -- this setting page now applies to log documents, too
• nj_srv: removed CmdLine::m_workingDir
• njs_log: fix: converters/filters were not removed from the aux list (m_conversionPipeline)
• nj_app: fix: main plugin entry was not added when opening logs
• nj_srv: fix: processMsg_OrderLayers should not call removeAllConversions
• nj_app: major update: use LayerPipelineDlg for pipeline management allows adding layers duding session startup and most importantly, re-ordering of layers
• nj_app: added LayerPipelineDlg, removed add/remove/removall buttons from SessionSettingPage (now everything is managed from within LayerPipelineDlg)
• nj_ui: fix: add spacing widget to the object map (so it's get deleted on layer removal)
• nj_srv: force-process doc_MainThreadScheduler.jnc
• nj_cmn, nj_srv: removed SrvMsgCode_RemoveAllLayers, added SrvMsgCode_OrderLayers
• nj_log: added support for moving conversions/listeners to the tail of pipeline
• nj_etx: create foreign pointers instead of memdup/strdup
• nj_app: fix: nagmgr failed on parsing an empty manifest
• nj_app: rename: new layer -> add layer
• nj_srv, nj_ui: jnc::g_nullPtr -> jnc::g_nullDataPtr
• nj_app: process terminal status reports
• nj_app: use QLinkedList<> where possible: more efficient than QList<> keeps iterators valid
• nj_srv: added an option for logging or not logging exception in the main log;
• nj_srv: fix: don't log exception from the 'log' submodule
• nj_srv: fix: on exception, don't try to write to a read-only log file all: major renaming and moving-things-around: gui -> ui io.XxxUi -> ui.XxxUi, log.RepresenterTarget -> log.Representation
• axl_sl: fix: properly handle count == -1 in sl::Array::remove and sl::String::remove
• axl_gui: typo fix: mask should check for (1 << Orientation_Xxx)
• axl_enc: HexEncoding::Flag -> HexEncodingFlag
• axl_enc: added HexEncodingFlag_Multiline (for debugging)
• axl_lex: fix: skipping BOM resulted in invalid offsets in
• Token::m_pos (which affected modules relying on Token::Pos::m_offset) axl_lex: ignore UTF-8 BOM by default
• axl_sl: added from-index parameter to all String::findXxx
• methods
• axl_enc: critical bugfix: potential buffer overflow in CodePointDecoder::decodeImpl
