make code more robust against future change The new Pin API offers the formal guarantee that referential structs will never move in memory. Although this does not happen in Stringsext anyway, we use Pin to prevent any futures code changes that would break this guarantee.
New feature: "same-Unicode-block" Requires all characters in a finding to originate from the same Unicode block. This option helps to reduce false positives, especially when scanning for UTF-16. When set, "`stringsext`" prints only Unicode block homogenous strings. For example: "`-u All -n 10 -r`" finds a sequence of at least 10 Cyrillic characters in a row or finds at least 10 Greek characters in a row, whereas it ignores strings with randomly Cyrillic-Greek mixed characters. Technically this option guarantees, that all multibyte characters of a finding - encoded as UTF-8 - start with the same leading byte.
Release Version v2.1.1
This release contains a major rewrite of the "Stringsext"
string-extraction-tool with the following improvements and new features:
* Much faster (>30%).
* Improved Unicode-Block-Filter:
- Search in scripts with predefined filters e.g.
*Latin*, *Arabic*, *Syriac*, *Cyrillic*, etc and any combination of
these.
- Configurable custom filter.
* Improved ASCII-Filter:
- Predefined filters e.g. *all ASCII without controls* or *all
ASCII with white-space, without controls".
- Custom filters with configurable sets of ASCII-codes that
pass the filter.
* New internal "grep"-like filter, mainly useful to search paths strings.
* More detailed position indication for long strings.
* Better interface with other stream oriented tools e.g. "head",
"tail", "sed" and "grep".
* Better handling of zero terminated (C-style) strings in large fields.
* New backend "encoding_rs".
Changes in v2.1.1
* set default `--output-line-len` to 64 characters.
This implies: set default `input_window` width to
2*64 bytes = 128 bytes
