Release 2.0a August 13, 2013

First release of Telemetry 2! This is a huge release for us and the culmination of over a year of work addressing customer requests. The run-time is still shared with Telemetry 1.x, so migration should be a snap!

The biggest changes are:

• much lower memory footprint, allowing the capture and examination of huge (10GB+) datasets
• full text search of zones
• open file format with example export script so you can examine the data yourself
• ...all while retaining run-time library compatibility with Telemetry 1.x!
• path interpretation is a little different than with T1
• multiple framesets, meaning you can have different kinds of frames visible in the timeline
• support for Android, QNX, ARM/Linux (this is also available in Telemetry 1)

Technically speaking this was enabled by:

• switching to a SQLite backend
• demand paging data
• preprocessing of level-of-detail during capture
• making 'ticks' generate 'frame' plots instead of implicitly assuming ticks were at frame boundaries

• Enhancement: context switch lines are drawn as thin lines if they're waiting on a resource instead of switched to another thread of execution. For example on 360 if you're waiting for a mutex but don't have another thread to run the scheduler will make you idle, but instead of seeing this as swapped to the system, you'll see it as your own thread still running but waiting.
• Enhancement: known system threads on 360 are rendered in yellow on the context switch queue track
• Enhancement: BETA implementation of generated plots! Now you can right click a plot in the plot window and generate a new plot consisting of the average or sum of values over a window or the entire run duration. This will be enhanced significantly in the coming weeks.

Release 1.0e January 10, 2011

This is release 1.0e of Telemetry with the following changes since 1.0d.

Run-time

• Enhancement: we now support context switch Visualization on the 360!! Watch each hardware thread as software threads switch in and out.
• Enhancement: TMPT_PERCENTAGE_DIRECT value of TmPlotType now works with integer plot calls
• Enhancement: We're now shipping with a 'checked' build of Telemetry. Specify 1 to tmLoadTelemetry and the checked build loads with lots of debug information sent to your debug window! Note that the checked libraries are now appended with the letter 'c' instead of the letter 'd' (e.g. telemetry64c.dll).
• Enhancement: run-time detects out of date server/wrong protocol version and returns TMERR_BAD_HANDSHAKE
• Bugfix: Variable argument lists to the various plot commands would result in a run-time crash.
• Bugfix: tmGetPlatformInformation was not exported on the 360 library.
• Enhancement: No more stalls when calling tmTick while flipping buffer pointers! Telemetry's data buffers are now flipped and sent to the network only after a timeout (one second) or when they are more than half-full. This means low traffic but high frame rate (>250fps) isn't artificially throttled waiting on the network.
• Enhancement: We now use DisconnectEx on Windows in an attempt to flush the buffers before closing sockets.
• Change: We no longer generate a network traffic plot since it's no longer guaranteed to happen at tick time. This will be reimplemented
• Change: some of the TMERR_* codes have been renumbered later.

Visualizer

• Enhancement: we now support context switch Visualization on the 360!! Watch each core as threads switch in and out.
• Enhancement: hovering over the name of a plot in the plot tree highlights that plot
• Enhancement: current panel is now saved as part of the undo state (i.e. ctrl-z is basically a 'back' button)
• Enhancement: mouse thumb/back button is synonymous with using ctrl-z to undo view state
• Enhancement: Visualizer now throws up a warning if you try to load a dataset with no frames
• Bugfix: bad server commands will result in disconnection instead of continuing in bad state
• Bugfix: bug with right-click bringing up too many menus on some zones
• Bugfix: race condition fixed when incoming frame summaries were purged before being referenced
• Bugfix: fixed rare memory leak in lock event handling
• Bugfix: text renders properly when using Remote Desktop and the Visualizer
• Bugfix: protocol negotiation was buggy, so mismatched server/Visualizer could result in weird behaviour

Server

• Bugfix: protocol negotiation was buggy, so mismatched server/Visualizer could result in weird behaviour
• Enhancement: You can now specify if you want to limit connections to the Visualizer or the profiler with the -deny [Visualizer|profiler] command line options.
• Bugfix: date/time wasn't properly handled for session times with 360
• Bugfix: Server did not handle executable filenames with spaces in them properly, resulting in missing sessions.
• Bugfix: Server wasn't accurately differentiating between "number of zones received" and "number of zones stored to disk". The latter is clamped to 64K zone children per zone so sometimes the reported zone count for very high numbers would not match the actual number of zones. We now store actual number of zones instead of the number of zones received.
• Bugfix: Some server side warnings were inadvertently triggering fatal error handling.
• Enhancement: The server kicks inactive/idle profiler clients. The default timeout is 10 minutes, but can be overridden with the -timeout command line.
• Enhancement: The server kicks multiple connections from the same source (machine name + IP + app name) unless specifically asked not to by the client with TMOF_DONT_KILL_OTHER_SESSIONS

• Enhancement: TMMF_ZONE_LABEL and TMMF_ZONE_SUBLABEL added
• Bugfix: context switch event aggregator wasn't locking the run-time context properly or checking for pause conditions
• Change: We now fully store all mutex/lock state events (previous version discarded release events to reduce data size)
• Bugfix: tmMessage, tmSetTimelineSectionName and tmEmitAccumulationZone weren't honoring pause conditions
• Bugfix: dynamic strings were copying one extra byte which was capable of corrupting the network stream to the server
• Bugfix: internal lockwritebuffers overflow branch was buggy
• Change: vestigial realloc plot no longer generated
• Enhancement: TMO_RECORD_TELEMETRY_STALLS shows stalls waiting on the Telemetry mutex in the zone view

• Enhancement: if minimized, no longer do any rendering (to avoid OpenGL contention between multiple processes, i.e. a driver bug)
• Bugfix: Off-by-one on zone depth cutoff
• Bugfix: Removed memory leaks
• Bugfix: Mem event matching was wrong in some cases
• Bugfix: Clearing visualizer state wasn't clearing current filename resulting in intermittent crashes if you did a "Get" then immediately disconnected
• Enhancement: Top of frame in zone view now colored same as timeline section
• Enhancement: Major performance improvements across the board for memory events, context switches, and mutex state rendering.
• Enhancement: Memory usage much improved
• Enhancement: Streaming hitches reduced even more
• Enhancement: Mutex state track now shows length of ownership if that information is available
• Change: Frame prefetch changed to bring over prior frames as well in a 'fan out' form
