2020.11 Release
New features:
- Command-line build with Maven
- Integration profile and trace views
- New preferences
- New about, info, and log dialog boxes
- New support for log files via slf4j. The logs are stored in the same workspace and can be cleared.
- Store the information of recently opened databases
- Support for prof2 sparse database
- Support for id tuple instead of process or thread-based profile
Improvements:
- Lazily allocate colors so that the viewer works on Windows to display databases of large applications
- Use pure tree content provider instead of mixing item insertion and content provider
- The open database menu doesn't add a database side-by-side. To do this, a new menu "Add database" is introduced
- Same process and/or thread filtering on the trace and profile views. Instead of using Fortran notation, it can filter via regular expression.
Known limitations:
- Only works on Java 8 or newer
- May not work on macOS Big Sur due to Eclipse bugs
- Filtering CCT nodes has no impact on the trace view
- Performance limitation for huge CCT especially when sorting the bottom-up view
