Windhawk 1.0

For users​

• Added a changelog tab for mods.
• Added an "Advanced" tab for mods with debug logging functionality, easy settings exporting, and options to override the mod's target processes.
• Added advanced settings with an option to hide the tray icon, an option to exclude processes from Windhawk, and several other options.
• Added the mod initialization dialog, which shows information about mods which take a long time to initialize. A common reason for that is symbol downloading, in which case the download progress is shown.
• Added the Loaded Mods dialog which can be accessed from the tray icon's right click menu.
• Added an exit option without UAC in case something goes wrong, can be used by holding Shift and right clicking on the tray icon.
• Running the Windhawk UI no longer requires UAC.

For developers​

• Updated to VSCodium 1.74.2 and LLVM MinGW 15.0.0.
• The compiler now uses C++20 and includes WinRT headers.
• Added mod preview to the editing mode.
• Better syntax highlighting for special Windhawk comment blocks (readme, settings) in the code editor.
• Updated the new mod template, inspired by Kyle Halladay's

  guide.
• Extended the function hooking API, now hooks can be created and removed at any time.
• Added decorated symbols to the symbols enumeration API.
• Improved editor indentation and formatting rules.

Bug fixes​

• Removed the confusing suggestion to download a language pack for non-English Windows versions. Windhawk still doesn't have proper support for localization.
• Improved compatibility with Firefox.
• Fixed an incorrect update notification after updating to the latest version.
• Fixed an incorrect memory free which caused tools such as Application Verifier to show a warning. The bug was harmless in practice aside from the warning with development tools.
• Fixed unnecessary mod reloading if FALSE is returned in Wh_ModInit.
• Updating a disabled mod no longer enables it.

Windhawk 1.5

• Mods that use debug symbols now try the Windhawk cache server first. As a result, downloading the actual symbol files is skipped most of the time.
• Improved simultaneous symbol file downloading by multiple processes. If a symbol file is being downloaded, new processes wait for the download to complete instead of initiating a new download of the same symbol file.

• The Windows Implementation Library (WIL) is now included and can be used by mods. The -fms-extensions compiler option is required to use the library.
• Renamed WindhawkUtils::Wh_SetFunctionHookT to WindhawkUtils::SetFunctionHook. The old name is still available for backwards compatibility.

Windhawk 1.6​

v1.6 Latest

• ARM64 support. Windhawk can now be installed on ARM64 versions of Windows, and customization of native ARM64 programs is fully supported. Customization of x86 and x64 programs on ARM64 Windows has some limitations, which might be improved in the future. Some mods may need to be adjusted by their authors to work correctly on ARM64 Windows.
• Updated the default process exclusion rules to exclude known incompatible programs and some well-known games. Additionally, the special handling of pattern inclusion rules for critical system processes is now configurable per mod. For details, please refer to

  .

• The Windhawk UI no longer restarts when advanced settings are changed — only the background processes are.
• Added the -safe-mode command-line switch.

• Improved mod unloading. Windhawk now attempts to wait for mods to finish running before unloading them, which could otherwise cause a crash.
• Added support for non-ASCII text in debug logs.
• Fixed an error caused by Windhawk in some cases: "Not enough space for thread data." To apply the fix, install or update at least one mod after the Windhawk update, then restart Windhawk.
• Fixed an incompatibility error that could occur in some programs when certain mods were used: "The procedure entry point ... could not be located." To apply the fix, reinstall or update all affected mods.
