## プロジェクトの歴史と使われ方

Hexcurse is a C ncurses console hex editor with an early-2000s release history and a revived GitHub maintenance home.

### プロジェクトの歴史

The upstream README says Hexcurse was written by Lonny Gomes and James Stephenson, then left unmaintained for a time before the maintainers noticed an old tarball circulating and restarted maintenance from a GitHub repository. The ChangeLog records a first release in May 2001, followed by rapid 2001-2003 development of undo, search, resizing, EBCDIC mode, large-file portability fixes, and terminal behavior improvements.

After older 1.5x releases, the GitHub-era history includes a 1.58 release in 2014 and a 1.60.0 release in November 2015. The 1.60.0 ChangeLog entry switched versioning toward semver, added color support, improved signal handling, fixed failed-save behavior, and incorporated several community pull requests.

### 採用の歴史

Hexcurse's long package life reflects its plain C/ncurses build model and traditional console UI. The input package metadata records Homebrew, Debian, Nix, and Ubuntu packages, and the Homebrew formula packages the v1.60.0 GitHub archive.

### 使われ方

Hexcurse opens, edits, and saves files while showing hexadecimal and character windows. It supports searching, decimal or hexadecimal addresses, jumps, undo, bold markers for modified bytes, EBCDIC mode, and keyboard shortcuts for save, open, goto, find, mode toggle, paging, and quit.

### パッケージ好きにとっての重要性

Hexcurse matters as one of the small curses hex editors that survived by being easy to build and package. Its history shows a common Unix package pattern: an old tarball-era utility rehomed on GitHub, lightly modernized, and kept useful through distro packaging rather than heavy feature churn.

### タイムライン

- 2001: First Hexcurse release recorded in the ChangeLog.
- 2002: 1.40 and 1.50 releases add resizing, decimal addressing, EBCDIC mode, and portability fixes.
- 2003: 1.55 fixes a file-saving bug.
- 2013: GitHub repository created.
- 2014: 1.58 adds large-file support from a contributor patch.
- 2015: 1.60.0 release adds color support and several maintenance fixes.

### Related projects

- Hexcurse is related to full-screen terminal hex editors such as hexedit and to lower-level byte inspection tools such as hexdump and xxd, but it emphasizes ncurses editing rather than one-shot dumping.
