What's new in Peep 2.3.5
Jul 31, 2020
- Small fix; last column of main table, which should show displayable characters, was truncated when a zero byte was encountered.
New in Peep 2.3.4 (Jul 31, 2020)
- Small correction, reader view now correctly displays text in the appropriate system colour (white when in dark mode etc)
- Licensing policy change, gives free trial period
New in Peep 2.3.3 (Sep 3, 2018)
- Mojave dark-mode-ready

New in Peep 2.3.2 (Jan 12, 2018)
- Policy change, previously Peep was a purchase on the App Store but free for web download with in-app purchase for the 'editable' feature. Now both App Store and direct download version have editing enabled and a small purchase price (with no in-app purchases and, for an experimental time, no trial period)
- Small fix - when 'New from clipboard' is used, Window title now correctly reads "text from clipboard" rather than the name of the last file opened
- Small fix - after 'New from clipboard' is used, the 'Show Info' button now correctly does nothing
New in Peep 2.3.1 (Aug 18, 2017)
- Adds column to the right of the individual bytes showing in a slightly more readable way, makes it easier to see what's happening as you try different text encodings. (As before, to copy some or all of the text, go to the 'reader' window.)
New in Peep 2.3 (Aug 18, 2017)
- Improved handling of 16-bit encodings in text mode
- Allows editing of individual bytes, user may type data as text character, hex or decimal according to the display mode
- Also allows input of a text string (the relevant number of following bytes will be replaced - note replaced, not inserted)
- If user opens a 'file' which is actually a directory (eg an app or .rtfd) Peep opens that directory and allows user to select a file, rather than (as previously) alerting the user and giving instructions.
New in Peep 2.2.2 (May 20, 2014)

- drag the file onto the dock icon or application alias
