ByteInsight 3.2.0 has been released, and we’re pretty excited about the updates. ByteInsight is a free code analysis tool that helps you quickly understand legacy applications by scanning source code, identifying technologies, and highlighting modernization opportunities.
We always aim to provide with deeper, cleaner insights into your applications. Whether you're modernizing Clarion systems (yes, we see you) or just want better control over your code analysis, this update delivers.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s new and improved.
First up: ByteInsight can now automatically detect framework versions embedded in your codebase. We're talking about precise identification across different frameworks, so you can easily assess compatibility and uncover potential upgrade hurdles before they surprise you mid-project.
Why it matters: If you’ve ever tried to plan a modernization project without knowing what framework versions you’re dealing with… you know it’s like packing for a trip without knowing the weather.
The new Framework Versions Identified table is your cheat sheet for smoother planning.
Clarion users, this one’s for you, we now have a generic scanner for Clarion code. With this release, we’ve supercharged the way ByteInsight scans and identifies Clarion code:
In short, Clarion files are now recognized and categorized exactly as they should be—no more mislabeling or undercounting. We know Clarion’s not the most mainstream tech out there anymore, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t get first-class scanning support. With this update, it does.

Ever wish you could just tell ByteInsight to ignore certain folders in your scan? Now you can.
With the new Exclude Folders feature, you can filter out bin, obj, third-party libraries, or any other noise in your project tree that’s cluttering your analysis. That means leaner reports, faster scan times, and insights that actually focus on what matters.
Bonus: Less scrolling through irrelevant data. More time making decisions that count.
Here are a few quality-of-life improvements we squeezed in:
✔ Framework version detection? Check.
✔ Clarion analysis that finally feels accurate? Absolutely.
✔ Custom folder exclusions for cleaner, faster scans? Yep.
✔ UI cleanups and bug squashing? You bet.
If you’re managing a legacy application or helping clients evaluate modernization options, this update is designed to give you better visibility, fewer distractions, and smarter insights.
Ready to try it out? Fire up ByteInsight and give the new features a spin. And if you’re sitting on a Clarion project that’s collecting digital dust, we’d love to help you bring it back to life.
