Cloud AI Power and Modern Plugin Ecosystem in VB Decompiler v26

We are excited to announce the release of VB Decompiler version 26. This major update bridges the gap between local and cloud-based code analysis and introduces a completely overhauled architecture for plugin developers.

Cloud-Powered AI: OpenAI, ChatGPT, and DeepSeek

In previous versions, the AI Helper relied exclusively on local LLMs via Ollama. While effective, this required high-performance hardware with powerful graphics cards. Version 26 significantly expands these capabilities by introducing support for the OpenAI API.

Now, even if your PC does not have a powerful GPU, you can leverage top-tier cloud models, including ChatGPT and DeepSeek, to reconstruct and improve decompiled C# and VB6 code. This integration ensures that high-quality code refactoring is available to every user, regardless of their hardware specifications.

Next-Generation Plugin SDK

We have completely rewritten the Plugin SDK to support modern development standards. It is now easier than ever to extend VB Decompiler's functionality using your preferred programming language.

We have developed comprehensive sample plugins in Visual C++, Rust, Delphi, and Free Pascal. Whether you prefer low-level systems programming or rapid application development, you can quickly build native DLL plugins.

The documentation has been written from scratch to guide you through the process: VB Decompiler Plugin API

All example plugins are available on our GitHub:

Adaptive UI and UX Improvements

The user interface has been refined for better usability. The AI Helper configuration fields now automatically adapt to your screen size. Furthermore, secondary settings can be collapsed, freeing up valuable screen space for what matters most the decompiled code.

Security and Stability

Version 26 introduces important security and stability fixes:

• Secure Updates: The check for new program versions is now performed exclusively via the secure HTTPS protocol.
• Bug Fix: We resolved an issue where internal class or module names coincided with reserved language keywords, which previously caused a form to be displayed instead of the code. This conflict is now handled correctly.
