4.X primary TODO list.

[Col-E]

• Welcome
  • First time configuration based on what the user intends to do First time launch should let users choose to configure common options visually #702
• In-application help
  • In-application tutorials with basic code samples Having an in-app tutorial / help guide would make forced user documentation reading possible #709
    • Can express as a custom workspace type with an identifier of which tutorial is open
    • Different tutorials could add different popup notifications to UI controls to explain their usage
• External help
  • Write user documentation for 4.X
  • Write developer documentation for 4.X
• Menu Bar
  • Plugins menu
• Workspace explorer
  • Support embedded resources
    • Viewing
    • Editing
    • Exporting
  • Make modified classes visually distinct Mark Files as Saved / Modified for better understanding #680
  • Add keybind support for renaming Add keybinds to rename packages and classes in the file tree #820 (and possibly other actions)
• Workspace summary
  • Android manifest summarization Android resource summarizers for manifest contents #720
  • Known obfuscation detection summarization
  • Minecraft mod summarization (Forge/Fabric) Minecraft Development Plugin - Recaf Edition #667
    • Main mod classes
    • Pull in target MC version as a supporting resource
    • Automatic mapping support
• Class views
  • Hex view
  • Low level view
  • Kotlin metadata side-tab
  • Option to show fields/methods tab open by default Make Fields&Methods windows visible after a class opend #752
• Decompilers
  • Fallback (port from 3x)
• File views
  • PDF
  • HTML (As XML)
  • Markdown
• Change/history viewer
  • Change viewer UI between original state and modified state
    • Class support
    • File support
  • Support exporting as .repatch file format so Recaf can apply the patch again later
• Search
  • Additional filters (package white/black lists)
  • Fuzzy text search mode
  • Instruction pattern search Please add instruction mnemonic search from 2.13 to 4 #617
    • Strictly text-based like before utilizing JASM? Probably easier for most end-users since its something that allows copy-pasting from the assembler.
    • More node/pattern like similar to Concoction?
  • Structure search - Structural matching for static scanning Minecraft-Malware-Prevention-Alliance/concoction#4
• Plugins
  • Plugin manager UI
  • Link to plugin development guide to make it easy to start
  • Create plugin templates
• Config
  • Investigate what would improve the layout beyond our automated setup. Its laid out in a bit of a "jumbled" way at the moment.
  • Font size sliders
    • This is sadly a bit tricky with our theme setup. There are a lot of small edge cases in the theme that rely on exact sizes. I found that a more reasonable solution was to just implement a generic window scaling. It'll apply when restarting Recaf.
  • Organize into sane ordering (vs alphabetic of key names)
• Context menus
  • Organize into sane ordering
  • Creation of new content
    • Files
    • Classes Ability to create new classes from scratch #113
  • Additional actions
    • Classes
      • Generate method overrides (prompt to show which methods can be overriden)
    • Packages / Directories
      • Export (we have single-file export, but not package/dir exports)
• Assembler
  • Tab completion for opcodes
  • Tab completion for type refs
  • Tab completion for field/method refs
  • Option to change variable table handling Support assembling methods without generating local variable table #851
    • Automatically generate variables when variable data exists
    • Never write variable data
    • Always write variable data
  • Add missing JVM attribute support
    • Invisible annotations, type annotations, etc RuntimeVisibleAnnotations, RuntimeInvisibleAnnotations modify feature request #760
• Android support (Replace our dependency on Google's R8 with our own implementation that better adapts to our model in Recaf)
  • Migrate away from R8 to dex and add assembler support for Dalvik bytecode Android support in the assembler #857
• Call graph UI
  • Port 3X UI to 4X
  • Add UI to method context menus
• Mapping
  • Correlation mapping: See fabric's matcher for details
    • The backing structure similarity logic can be useful in other places too
• Improved instrumentation
  • Fetch META-INF/MANIFEST.MF for application info
  • Option to copy remote java.class.path paths to a local workspace without attaching (If all paths are found)
  • Option to run arbitrary payloads (Pass over a Runnable instance and invoke it in a safe manner, reporting back results)
• Simulation
  • Rewrite a smaller version of SSVM and integrate it to support:
    • Simulate (for yielding a result)
    • Optimize (for using the simulation to optimize code patterns)
