(Updated 13-12-2019)
The following table summarizes the progress that has been made in porting Whitebox GAT (Java, Groovy) tools to the new WhiteboxTools (Rust) library. Currently, 435 tools have been added to the WhiteboxTools library, including some with no GAT equivalent, and 37 tools remain to be ported. For those tools that still need to be ported, a priority has been provided.
