v6.2.0, released 2022-06-14

As of today, one full year has passed since the v6.1.9 release and I'm proud to announce that the v6.2.0 update is finally ready for release.

New features:

• dnSpy now runs under .NET 6 and .NET Framework 4.8.
• Move to VS2022 icons for UI and exe files (by @InKahootz and @SychicBoy)
• Support for tilt/horizontal scrolling in the UI.
• Added support for editing custom attributes on module resources.
• Added support for modifying the Log2Rid value when saving the module.
• Add support for ARM64 target architecture in the assembly editor.
• Add an enum for PE Magic field in the PE editor (by @riQQ)
• Show debugged process's name in the title bar (by @InKahootz)
• Add support for writing VS2022 compatible .sln files.
• Added back the Save Code, Save BAML, and Save XAML options in the File context menu which save the contents of the currently open document tab.
• Debugger:
  • Display a warning message before starting to debug a target file with a different bitness than the current dnSpy version running.
  • Add a new option that allows to automatically break on <Module>::.cctor when starting to debug.
  • Display the exception's HResult property when an unhandled exception is hit.
• ILSpy decompiler:
  • Added jump to reference support for jmp() expressions created when the jmp CIL opcode is present.
  • CIL disassembler now includes information about generic parameter attributes and constraints.
  • Add more information to the output when disassembling the module node when using the CIL disassembler.
  • The decompiler now splits up long method call chains using a new line.
  • Generate debug info for yield break; statements.

Improvements and bug fixes:

• Fix the .NET 6 console executable having the incorrect subsystem set in the PE options resulting in a crash.
• Fixed escaping of namespaces in tooltips.
• Fixed syntax highlighting for structs in tooltips.
• Improved RVA <-> FileOffset conversions in PE editor to fix a crash with invalid values being passed in.
• Improved assembly resolution for .NET Standard, .NET Core, .NET 5, .NET 6.
• dnSpy now reads assembly resolution probe paths from .config files.
• Read probe paths from .config files when searching for satellite assemblies during project export.
• Fixed incorrect label in the Save Module dialog.
• Add support for searching by full name (by @mobile46).
• Optimized search module by reducing memory allocations.
• Improvements to GitHub Actions workflow (by @Gorialis).
• Use .NET Standard instead of .NET Framework for Roslyn projects fixing #84 (by @mobile46).
• ILSpy Decompiler
  • Optimized the variable naming step in the decompiler by reducing memory allocations.
  • Improved insertion of checked() blocks.
  • Improved decompilation of query expressions.
  • Prevent delegate construction decompilation from crashing the entire decompiler if it failed.
  • Improved analysis for unsafe modifier.
  • Ignore invalid prefixes when constructing the ILAst. This prevents a common method used to crash the decompiler from working.
  • Many improvements and fixes to the async method decompilation logic.
  • Optimized the removal of dead nop instructions when building the ILAst. This deficiency was a known method to crash dnSpy's decompiler by filling a method body with huge amounts of useless code.
  • Fixed a rare case where field initializers would not be detected properly.
  • Fixed a rarely occurring bug that resulted in incorrect ILAst being built.
  • Optimized construction of ILAst by calculating the stack behavior of instruction only once and by caching the result of MethodDef.HasReturnType.
  • Improved required parenthesis analysis.
  • Fixed decompiler creating incorrect checked regions for some post increments.
• Debugger:
  • Fixed a bug that caused the infamous ??? exception to occur when debugging.
  • Improved debugging support for newer mono runtimes.
  • Fixed a crash that occurred in the .NET Framework version of dnSpy when a module loaded into memory during debugging would contain an invalid file path resulting in a crash.
• BAML decompiler
  • Resolve namespaces of properties.
  • Fix Name attribute for properties incorrect in rare circumstances.
  • Fix missing x:Static and x:Type (by @wwh1004)

Dependency updates:

• Updated dnlib to 3.5.0
• Updated Iced to 1.17.0
• Roslyn compiler to 4.1.0
• Ookii.Dialogs.Wpf to 5.0.1
• VS MEF to 16.9.20
• ILSpy to 2.4
• Mono.Debugger.Soft was updated to the latest commit.

Note to extension developers: Please recompile your extensions for this version of dnSpyEx! Many dependencies have been updated and some of them have gone through API changes, for example, Iced.
