Note: There is no guarantee that version mismatched client and server will
be able to talk with each other. Network protocol breakages won't be listed
here.
2024-09-08 19:19:47 +00:00
vx.xx.x (xxxx-xx-xx)
--------------------
2024-09-24 18:12:19 +00:00
- Enabled workaround for MSVC runtime library SNAFU, which manifested with
the profiler executables crashing at startup inside mutex code.
2024-09-08 19:19:47 +00:00
- CPU topology data now includes CPU die information.
- Clients running under Wine will now report that in the trace info.
- Added flame graph.
- The Git ref information for the build is now included in the about dialog.
- Added support for clipboard copy and paste on Wayland.
2024-09-24 18:12:19 +00:00
- The welcome dialog client address entry field will now trim the entered
address, so that stray spaces at the start and the end are removed. This
should reduce the amount of user precision required when copy pasting the
address from somewhere else.
- Metal GPU profiling is now available.
- Profiling zones can now optionally inherit their parent color.
- It is no longer needed to have up-to-date copy of wayland-protocols
installed. CMake will download the required version from GitHub.
- Added option to show the top inline in symbol statistics list in stead of
the symbol name.
2024-09-08 19:19:47 +00:00
2024-08-22 18:07:25 +00:00
v0.11.1 (2024-08-22)
2024-08-03 18:40:59 +00:00
--------------------
- Utilities import-chrome and import-fuchsia now live together in the import
directory.
- Added TRACY_VERBOSE to available CMake options.
- It is now possible to set TRACY_SAMPLING_HZ via a environment variable.
- Thread group hints can be now used to group threads together in the
profiler UI.
2024-08-22 17:54:01 +00:00
- Limit Lua file names to 255 characters, as the source string can contain
the whole script, if loaded with loadstring().
2024-08-03 18:40:59 +00:00
2024-07-16 16:38:15 +00:00
v0.11.0 (2024-07-16)
2023-12-21 14:12:24 +00:00
--------------------
2024-01-02 19:09:25 +00:00
- Support for pre-0.9 traces has been dropped.
2024-03-23 11:15:47 +00:00
- The old server-side build system has been replaced by CMake. The client
integration is not affected. Refer to the manual for details.
- Most importantly, a known version of the capstone library is now
downloaded from GitHub. You will need to have git installed for this
to work (there is a CMake option to use the capstone installed on the
system, as was done previously).
2023-12-21 14:12:24 +00:00
- Various Meson fixes.
- Proper way of loading Vulkan calibrated timestamps extension.
- Fixed C API support for GPU tracing when on demand mode is enabled.
- Added a way to resynchronize CPU and GPU timestamps.
- Using calibrated contexts should always be preferred.
- Each synchronization event requires a sync of CPU and GPU, which is
something you always want to avoid.
- This is not exposed as an easy-to-use API available through the GPU
wrappers.
- Added TracyIsStarted macro to check if the profiler has been started.
Using this functionality only makes sense in the manual lifetime mode,
and will always return true in any other mode of operation.
- Added basic QNX support.
- Zmmword is now recognized as an assemble size directive.
- Libunwind can be used for call stack capture on Linux if you build with
the TRACY_LIBUNWIND_BACKTRACE define.
- Preloading symbols for all modules on Windows, which is always performed
on program init, and which can be quite slow, may now be omitted through
the TRACY_NO_DBGHELP_INIT_LOAD define. In this mode, symbols will be
loaded as needed.
- Validation of discontinuous frames has been disabled in on-demand mode.
It's quite likely to connect in the middle of a discontinuous frame,
which resulted in frame end event for a frame that hasn't been started.
- Symbols can be now resolved offline on Windows and Linux.
- Enabled with the TRACY_SYMBOL_OFFLINE_RESOLVE define or env variable.
- The update utility has two additional options:
- -r, which enables resolving symbol and patching stack frames in the
trace.
- -p, which you can use to modify the paths used for symbol resolution.
- Some functionality will be missing if this mode is used. For example,
symbol statistics are unavailable.
- Resolving symbol names on Linux will now use image cache to reduce the
number of dladdr() calls.
- Compiling with the TRACY_LIBBACKTRACE_ELF_DYNLOAD_SUPPORT define will
enable support for run-time updating of known elf ranges in libbacktrace
on Linux. Previously, shared objects dlopened() after libbacktrace init
would not be visible during symbol resolution.
- Zone group count in the Find zone window is now explicitly displayed.
- Instrumentation statistics now display in how many threads each source
location has appeared in.
2024-01-02 16:03:45 +00:00
- Added import tool for fuchsia traces.
- https://fuchsia.dev/fuchsia-src/reference/tracing/trace-format
- Added checks for overflow of source locations.
- As a reminder, Tracy only allows to have 64K unique source locations,
split in half between static and dynamic locations.
- Runtime checks are active during capture and will stop a trace that
goes beyond the limit.
- Load-time checks will stop any broken trace file from loading.
- Opening the source code view that has no associated address in code
(i.e., from the list of instrumented zones, or from the find zone
window) will now search the list of symbols for a function name match.
- In many cases this will result in displaying the full disassembly view
where previously you would only see the source code.
- Matching is performed by string comparisons, which in rare cases may
result in showing false data.
- Press ctrl key while opening source view to keep the old behavior.
- If more than one matching symbol is found (e.g., if two classes have
methods with the same name, or if a template is instantiated in multiple
places in code), it is not possible to tell which of the code locations
the source location corresponds to and only the source code will be
displayed.
2024-02-11 15:33:58 +00:00
- Added TracyNoop macro, which inserts a reference to Tracy's object file
into your application. Use it if you want to use Tracy in sampling mode,
without any manual instrumentation (so no references of your own exist)
and link Tracy as a static library. Linkers will only include library code
if code references it, and this doesn't work as intended with Tracy, as it
ignores global constructors that have side effects.
- ZoneText and ZoneName macros now have a printf-like variant, denoted with
a 'F' postfix.
2024-02-11 16:22:38 +00:00
- The 'tracy_shared_libs' Meson option was removed. Use interface provided
by Meson to set the library type instead.
- Dropped the 'tracy_' prefix from Meson options. The `tracy_enable` option
remains as it was, as it can be inherited from parent projects.
2024-02-25 12:57:51 +00:00
- Fixed display of active / inactive allocations in memory call tree.
- Instrumentation statistics can be now sorted by source location.
2024-02-27 21:14:04 +00:00
- Added option to hide external code frames in call stack view.
2024-03-13 19:49:25 +00:00
- There's now a copy to clipboard button in the statistics view. It copies
the visible rows of either the instrumentation or GPU statistics view to
a CSV string matching a subset of the csvexport format.
- Source file contents can be copied to the clipboard.
- Added key binding for immediate reconnect: Ctrl+Shift+Alt+R.
- Lock markup is now available through the C API.
- Symbol statistics window now allows aggregation of inlined functions in
symbols.
- Cost measurements of inlined functions in the symbol statistics window
can be now relative to the base symbol instead of total program run time.
2024-03-23 11:15:47 +00:00
- ScopedZone and AllocSourceLocation now accept color parameter. Impact on
existing code should be minimal.
- AllocSourceLocation has a new parameter with a default value.
- __tracy_alloc_srcloc and __tracy_alloc_srcloc_name break the existing
API. This can be easily fixed by setting the last parameter to zero.
- To build the profiler GUI with Wayland you now need wayland-scanner and
wayland-protocols to be installed. A reasonably recent release of the
protocols is required, which, as always, is not available on Ubuntu.
Seriously, stop trying to build modern software with that broken distro.
2024-05-04 09:45:20 +00:00
- Fractional DPI scaling is now properly supported on Wayland.
2024-03-23 11:15:47 +00:00
- Added Python bindings.
2024-03-23 12:56:25 +00:00
- The per-line sampling statistics are now also displayed as a percentage
of total program run time.
2024-05-04 09:45:20 +00:00
- The out-of-focus render frame rate reduction can be now disabled in
global settings.
- It is now possible to load source files that are newer than the trace.
The default setting is still to reject such files.
2024-05-05 19:23:41 +00:00
- Memory limit for a capture can be now set, both in the GUI profiler and
in the capture utility.
2024-05-06 18:18:41 +00:00
- Thread list can be now sorted alphabetically.
2024-05-25 10:17:04 +00:00
- It is now possible to adjust plot height.
- Trace comparison statistics were expanded and made more clear.
2024-05-26 18:49:32 +00:00
- Implemented retrieval of kernel symbol code on Linux.
2024-06-02 14:09:42 +00:00
- Added support for multiple compression streams in trace files. This
effectively parallelizes both load and save operations.
- The default save setup is now set to Zstd level 3 with 4 compression
streams. This gives both faster compression time and smaller file size.
2024-06-08 11:46:16 +00:00
- New users will be now eased into the profiler with a set of tutorial
achievements.
2024-07-08 16:47:08 +00:00
- You can now set the timeline options default values in global settings.
- Added a check for program memory being available before symbol retrieval
on Windows.
2024-01-02 16:03:45 +00:00
2023-12-21 14:12:24 +00:00
2023-10-16 18:57:02 +00:00
v0.10.0 (2023-10-16)
--------------------
2023-03-03 21:56:15 +00:00
- Missed frames region of on-demand captures will be now ignored when
calculating trace time span, zone percentages, etc.
- Due to technicalities information about locks, frame statistics in trace
information window and csvexport utility still include the missed frames
time.
2023-03-04 22:00:49 +00:00
- When source location dynamic zone coloring mode is enabled, collapsed
zones will be now gray-colored. Previously such regions falled back to
showing thread colors, which may have been confusing to users.
2023-03-05 18:42:20 +00:00
- Vulkan contexts can now use VK_EXT_host_query_reset extension.
2023-03-10 00:27:27 +00:00
- System power usage is now reported on x86 Linux.
2023-03-30 19:52:29 +00:00
- Program name displayed in broadcast messages can be now changed with the
TracySetProgramName() macro.
2023-04-25 23:14:31 +00:00
- Zone error markers (red regions and error bars) have been removed for
consistency with how all other profiling events are displayed.
- It is now possible to export messages in the csvexport utility.
- Major overhaul of how timeline items are processed in GUI.
- The process of figuring out what needs to be drawn on the timeline has
been heavily parallelized.
- The impact is especially visible with traces containing large amounts
2023-05-01 10:59:56 +00:00
of data. The framerate improvement in such cases can be ~30x.
- Consequently, the profiler GUI will now produce multi-core spikes when
2023-04-25 23:14:31 +00:00
rendering frames. This may have impact on the profiled application's
performance, if both the application and the profiler GUI are running
on the same machine. If this is a problem, you may consider the capture
2023-05-01 13:50:20 +00:00
utility instead, which is not affected by these changes. Alternatively,
you may disable parallelization in the options menu.
2023-04-25 23:14:31 +00:00
- Most of the timeline item logic has been written from scratch, which
2023-05-01 13:50:20 +00:00
may have taken care of some elusive bugs.
2023-05-01 13:30:08 +00:00
- Added global configuration settings dialog. You can find it in the
profiler's about menu (the wrench icon in the welcome dialog).
2023-06-10 11:37:01 +00:00
- List of found zones in the Find zone menu can be filtered by user text.
- Fixed div-by-zero in cvsexport utility when there was only one zone of
a kind.
- Fixed compatibility problems with FreeBSD.
- Added support for dynamically loaded Vulkan symbols.
- Trace description or filename is now displayed on the window title bar.
2023-10-06 23:42:35 +00:00
- The csvexport utility will now export thread id data.
- Improved compatibility with MSVC projects not defining NOMINMAX.
- Improved compatibility with Linux setups targeting musl as libc.
- Thread safety of Vulkan instrumentation has been reviewed.
2023-10-16 18:57:02 +00:00
- D3D11 and D3D12 instrumentation was rewritten.
2023-10-06 23:42:35 +00:00
- Added support for efficient profiling when running under rr, the record-
replaying debugger. This is enabled with TRACY_PATCHABLE_NOPSLEDS define.
- History of viewed symbols is now preserved and you can go back to
previously displayed entries.
2023-03-03 21:56:15 +00:00
2023-02-26 14:30:03 +00:00
v0.9.1 (2023-02-26)
2022-10-27 22:14:22 +00:00
-------------------
- Support for pre-0.8 traces has been dropped.
2022-10-27 23:30:57 +00:00
- Profiled programs will ignore dlclose() calls.
2022-11-27 21:26:13 +00:00
- Added warning when the profiler interface is run with privilege elevation.
Advice is given to instead run the client with admin rights.
2022-11-29 16:04:47 +00:00
- Switched to official ZEN4 uarch data.
2022-11-30 19:39:55 +00:00
- Handle cases when thread name is set, but not through Tracy facilities.
- Allow customization of source location data through the following macros:
- TracyFunction - defaults to __FUNCTION__
- TracyFile - defaults to __FILE__
- TracyLine - defaults to __LINE__
2022-12-19 23:46:22 +00:00
- Tracy on Linux now targets and requires Wayland by default.
- Please don't ask about window decorations on Gnome. Current behavior is
the intended behavior. Gnome does not want windows to have decorations,
and Tracy respects this choice. If you find this problematic, use a
desktop environment that actually listens to its users.
- Pass LEGACY=1 parameter to make, if you want to instead rely on the GLFW
library, like before.
- Other platforms still use GLFW.
2022-12-23 18:35:34 +00:00
- Compare traces menu can now display source code differences between two
traces.
2023-02-26 13:42:16 +00:00
- Assembly listings saved to files have been improved.
- Listings are now annotated with source line information.
- To improve compatibility with external tools comments are now prefixed
with '#' instead of ';'.
2023-01-17 00:51:30 +00:00
- Histogram tooltip will now also show left/right counts.
2023-01-31 23:56:31 +00:00
- Tracy now actively manages timeline vertical scroll offset in order to keep
the thread under the mouse cursor in the same place on screen.
2023-02-10 19:42:15 +00:00
- Removed support for AT&T assembly syntax.
2023-02-26 13:42:16 +00:00
- Tracy will not display notification if the file selector can't be used.
Possible reasons for failure include lack of xdg-desktop-portal.
- Using the TRACY_NO_CRASH_HANDLER define will disable handling of
application crashes by the profiler.
- Tracy will now query jump and call target addresses. This enables discovery
of target function names, even if such function has no samples and is not
present in any call stack.
2022-10-27 22:14:22 +00:00
2022-10-26 20:45:15 +00:00
v0.9.0 (2022-10-26)
2022-07-12 23:00:57 +00:00
-------------------
2022-07-17 13:04:19 +00:00
- Attention! All the header and source files used for integrating Tracy with
applications were moved to the public/ directory. This will break your
integration!
- To fix this, update the source and include directories lists to point to
the new location.
- Tracy include files directly referenced by the client were moved to
tracy/ subdirectory, to facilitate setups which previously had Tracy
checkout parent directory in the include paths list (i.e. when you
included "tracy/Tracy.hpp").
- Previously, if you have included the Tracy checkout directory in your
project include directories list (i.e. you could include "Tracy.hpp"),
this could result in third-party library conflicts, e.g. with ImGui.
Such scenarios are no longer the case.
2022-07-12 23:00:57 +00:00
- Tracy macros now require to be terminated with a semicolon.
2022-07-19 23:23:33 +00:00
- The undocumented ___tracy_demangle() function API has been changed. Please
refer to the source code for further instructions.
2022-08-25 22:54:36 +00:00
- The parameter callback and its registration macro have been extended to
include user data pointer. You will need to update your code accordingly.
2022-07-24 12:42:11 +00:00
- Plots visualization has been improved.
- Each plot now has its own color, which can also be defined by the user.
- The area below the plot is now optionally filled with a color.
- Plots can now also be configured to be staircase instead of smooth. This
new setting is appropriate for many inputs where only discrete values
make sense, e.g. the memory allocation plot.
- The API for TracyPlotConfig() macro has been changed. Please refer to
the manual to see how you can fix this.
2022-07-12 23:00:57 +00:00
- Some text labels in the user interface are now more easy to read.
- The profiler will now instruct the user in the UI on what can be done, if
the send queue is slow to process (typically due to symbol resolution).
- If a client with an incompatible protocol is discovered, Tracy will now
try to show which versions can be used to handle the connection.
2022-07-23 11:38:52 +00:00
- Messages list in zone info window can now show messages exclusive to the
zone, filtering out the messages emitted from child zones.
2022-07-30 19:45:02 +00:00
- Added capture of vertical synchronization timings on Linux.
2022-08-04 17:02:22 +00:00
- The range of frame bar colors in the frames overview on top of the screen
can be now controlled with the "Target FPS" entry box in the options menu.
- The "Draw frame targets" option does not need to be selected.
- Previously the hardcoded FPS target thresholds were: 30, 60, 144 FPS.
- Currently the FPS target threshold is: half of target, target, twice the
target.
2022-08-15 21:33:27 +00:00
- Reworked the way zone names are shortened.
- Previously shortening supported only namespace removal, in a way that
didn't consider function parameters or template arguments.
- Shortening to one-letter namespace chains is no longer available.
- The new shortening rules first perform normalization of the function name.
- The function const qualifier is removed.
- Common return types are removed.
- All function parameters and all template arguments are removed.
- The next steps consist of repeated removal of namespaces, starting with
the most outermost one.
- While the old process was all or nothing, the new implementation by
default will dynamically adjust to the space available, trying to show
the most context possible.
- It is also possible to completely disable shortening, or require that it
is always performed in full.
- Function name normalization is enabled by default, even if there is space
to show full function name. This can be changed in options.
- Previously shortening was only applied to the zone names displayed on the
timeline. Currently this process will also apply to all other places in
the UI where function names are displayed. However, in these cases the
function names will only be normalized.
- Full function names are still available as tooltips, or in fine print if
the normalized name is already displayed in a tooltip.
- This functionality is disabled if zone name shortening is disabled.
2022-08-16 16:52:29 +00:00
- Added context menu for timeline labels. Currently the only option is to hide
the selected thread, plot, etc.
2022-08-17 14:03:43 +00:00
- You can now provide custom source file contents through a profiler callback.
2022-08-28 11:21:24 +00:00
- Exposed Tracy version to client applications (available through the
common/TracyVersion.hpp header file).
- D3D12 instrumentation is now thread-safe.
- Timeline can be now navigated with WASD keys.
2022-09-01 23:28:08 +00:00
- Symbol file paths are now normalized on libbacktrace systems. For example,
instead of "/usr/bin/../lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/12.2.0/../../../../
include/c++/12.2.0/bits/std_mutex.h" Tracy will now report such file as
"/usr/include/c++/12.2.0/bits/std_mutex.h".
- The import-chrome utility interprets Instant (`i`/`I`) events where the
`name` field contains the word `frame` as a frame event. The `name` is the
frame set name.
2022-09-05 18:15:20 +00:00
- Frame data won't be displayed if there was no frame instrumentation in the
profiling session.
- Note that some automated functionality (e.g. vertical synchronization
capture) may automatically generate frame data, which will force frames to
be displayed.
2022-09-05 18:31:17 +00:00
- Tracy threads will now be collapsed by default on the timeline.
- Clicking on a local thread in the CPU data view will make the thread visible
and uncollapsed on the timeline.
2022-09-17 20:06:35 +00:00
- Assembly view is now in color.
2022-09-27 23:36:58 +00:00
- The profiler UI will no longer unnecessarily redraw the screen if nothing
was changed. This should have a profound impact on power usage.
2022-10-01 11:00:02 +00:00
- Added microarchitecture data for Zen 4.
2022-10-09 19:21:54 +00:00
- Implemented optional propagation of inline cost down the local call stack.
- This feature may be useful when trying to get a general outlook of the
cost at the top-level function in the symbol.
- It is possible to get nonsense data when this is enabled, for example
total cost exceeding 100%. This is by design.
- Assembly line costs are not affected.
2022-10-09 22:09:58 +00:00
- Available clients now also broadcast their PID.
2022-10-14 15:38:57 +00:00
- Reversed mouse button assignments for jumping to source / assembly line in
symbol view. The left mouse button will now focus the target line.
2022-10-11 22:46:00 +00:00
- Assembly lines tooltip will now display local call stack of inline functions
(within the symbol).
2022-10-14 15:38:57 +00:00
- Right-clicking the source location entry in assembly line will show the
local call stack, along with source code preview of each entry and ability
to navigate to any selected inline function.
2022-10-13 18:57:47 +00:00
- The profiler UI will now indicate that it needs attention if the window is
not focused and something interesting happens. For example when a connection
is established, or when a saved trace finishes loading, etc. How the
attention request is indicated depends on the operating system.
2022-10-18 19:44:32 +00:00
- Clicking on the red microarchitecture icon in the symbol view assembly pane
will switch the selected microarchitecture to one the profiled application
was running on.
2022-10-26 19:48:08 +00:00
- Removed option to display instruction latencies in a graphical form. Latency
data is still available in instruction tooltip.
2022-07-12 23:00:57 +00:00
2022-06-28 15:57:46 +00:00
v0.8.2 (2022-06-28)
2022-04-30 21:29:42 +00:00
-------------------
- Added support for debuginfod debug information services. Note that
since this depends on proper system configuration, vendors providing
the debug information, and network retrieval, it is disabled by
default. To enable, compile the profiled application with the
TRACY_DEBUGINFOD define and link with libdebuginfod.
2022-06-05 11:16:01 +00:00
- When Tracy server-side utilities are build with MSVC, the required
libraries will be now automatically retrieved and built with vcpkg.
- Added microarchitecture data for: Bonnell, Airmont, Goldmont, Goldmont
Plus, Tremont.
- Recognize additional CPUIDs of Zen 3, Alder Lake, Ice Lake
microarchitectures.
- Assembly line width will be now extended, if needed. Previously the line
width was calculated for the initial layout and changing amount of
displayed data (especially listing the read/written registers) didn't
affect this, which may have made some lines partially unreadable.
2022-06-11 22:39:41 +00:00

- If a client application is compiled with the TRACY_ON_DEMAND macro
defined, tracing will not begin until a connection to server is
established.
- Since data is not fully captured in this mode, the resulting trace will
be less precise, until application state is appropriately reset. For
example, locks need to be fully released, zone stacks need to be
flushed. This is an automatic process.

2018-07-29 20:13:01 +00:00
out-of-focus or minimized.
2018-08-01 17:26:10 +00:00
- Added support for cross-DLL profiling.
2018-08-04 13:11:08 +00:00
- Items in options menu (locks, threads, etc.) are now described with number
of events.
2018-09-18 14:15:50 +00:00
- Source location of lock declaration is also provided.
2018-08-04 14:35:34 +00:00
- Created an extensive user manual for the profiler.
2018-08-04 19:55:08 +00:00

pattern.
2018-08-05 15:00:21 +00:00
- General improvements to message list and message markers.
- Hovering over message on a list will highlight its marker (previously it
only worked the other way).
- Left clicking on a message marker will focus the message list on the
selected message.
- Middle clicking on a message marker will center it on screen.
2018-08-08 17:25:44 +00:00
- Added trace information window.
2018-09-01 22:37:13 +00:00
- This includes frame time statistics and histogram.
2018-08-08 18:39:16 +00:00
- Displayed memory sizes are now properly formatted.
2018-08-14 16:49:13 +00:00

the profiler. It only checks if there is a file on your disk that
matches the file name of the captured source location. Even if the file
is displayed, it may be out of date.
2018-08-17 20:26:40 +00:00
- CPU and GPU zones will have "Source" button, if source file can be
opened.
- Source files for call stack traces can be opened by right-clicking on
the file name. Since in this case there is no button that can be hidden,
a small animation will be played to notify user if the source cannot be
opened.
2018-08-17 15:05:32 +00:00
- The main profiler view will now occupy the whole window. Previous behavior
is still available for embedded use cases.
2018-08-17 20:26:40 +00:00
- Many button labels are now accompanied by icons.
2018-08-17 19:40:59 +00:00
- Fonts should now be less blurry.
2018-08-18 00:13:53 +00:00
- "Go to parent" button in zone info window won't be displayed if there is
no parent to go to.
2018-09-08 18:25:44 +00:00
- Improvements to the compare traces menu.
- There are now colored markers to make it easier to distinguish "this" and
"external" traces.
- The amount of saved time is now displayed (a difference between total
run times of both traces).
2018-08-19 16:29:39 +00:00
- Tracy will now collect host information, like CPU name, amount of system
memory, etc.
2018-08-19 20:24:28 +00:00
- Windows builds of the "profiler" utility will perform a check of supported
CPU instruction set and match it against the one required by the binary
(by default AVX2 is used). If the program cannot be executed on the
processor, a message dialog with workaround instructions will be
displayed.
2018-08-19 23:09:11 +00:00
- Tracy can intercept crashes and finish sending data from a dying process.
2018-08-27 12:08:54 +00:00
- Currently this is only implemented on Windows, Linux and Android.
2018-08-21 15:57:24 +00:00
- Call stack window may now display addresses of the frames, instead of
source file locations.
2018-08-27 23:49:59 +00:00
- Memory events will now properly register their thread.
2018-08-31 17:44:17 +00:00
- Profiler settings are now stored in a persistent location.
- On Windows settings are stored in %APPDATA%/tracy.
- On other platforms settings are stored in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tracy or
$HOME/.config/tracy, if the variable is not set.
- The main profiler window position, size and maximized state are saved
and restored.
- The size and position of internal windows now doesn't depend on the
runtime directory of the profiler executable.
2018-09-09 17:46:56 +00:00
- Added connection handshake.
- Server won't be able to connect to client if there's a protocol version
mismatch.
- Client not in on-demand mode will refuse connections after the first
connection was made and the initial event buffers were cleared.
- A single server will no longer try to connect to multiple clients.
2018-09-18 14:25:09 +00:00
- The capture utility will now display time span of the ongoing capture.
2018-08-08 17:25:44 +00:00

2021-05-18 00:20:19 +00:00
v0.3 (2018-07-03)
-----------------
2018-04-05 17:20:28 +00:00
2018-04-21 13:21:50 +00:00
- Breaking change: the format of trace files has changed.
- Previous tracy version will crash when trying to open new traces.
- Loading of traces saved by previous version is supported.
- Tracy will no longer crash when trying to load traces saved by future
versions. Instead, a dialog advising to update will be displayed.
- Tracy will no longer crash in most cases when trying to open files that
are not traces. Some crashes are still possible, due to support of old,
header-less traces.
2018-04-05 17:20:28 +00:00
- Ability to track every memory allocation in profiled program.
- Allocation event queuing must be done in order, which requires exclusive
access to the serialized queue on the client side. This has no effect on
the rest of events, which are stored in a concurrent queue, as before.
- You can search for a memory address and see where it was allocated, for
how long, etc. This lists all matching allocations since the program was
started.
- All active (non-freed) allocations may be listed. This shows the current
memory state by default, but can go back to any point in time.
- Graphical representation of process memory map may be displayed. New
allocations/frees are displayed in a bright color and fade out with
time. This feature also can look back in time.
2018-04-28 14:25:45 +00:00
- Memory usage plot is automatically generated.
2018-05-27 18:23:48 +00:00
- Basic allocation information is displayed in memory plot tooltips.
2018-05-02 16:20:28 +00:00
- A summary of memory events within a zone (and its children) is now
printed in zone info window.
2018-04-05 17:20:28 +00:00
- Support loading profile dumps with no memory allocation data (generated by
2018-04-14 13:47:09 +00:00
v0.2).
2018-04-05 17:31:46 +00:00
- Added ability to display global statistics of a selected zone from the
zone info window.
2018-04-09 12:29:22 +00:00
- Fixed regression with lock announce processing that appeared during
worker/viewer split.
- Allow selecting/unselecting all locks for display.
2018-04-20 21:29:02 +00:00
- Performance improvements.
2018-04-21 14:58:23 +00:00
- Don't save unneeded lock information in trace file.
2018-05-25 19:18:51 +00:00
- Don't save thrash in message list data.
2018-04-21 14:58:23 +00:00
- Allow expanding view span up to one hour, instead of one minute.
2018-04-21 22:58:17 +00:00
- Added trace comparison window.
- An external trace has to be loaded first.
- Zone query in both traces (current and external).
- Both results are overlaid on the same histogram.
2018-04-27 17:27:45 +00:00
- Graphs can be adjusted as-if there was the same number of zones
collected.
- Read time directly from a hardware register on ARM/ARM64, if possible.
- User-space access to the timer needs to be enabled in the kernel, so
tracy will perform run-time checks and fallback to the old method if the
check fails.
- Prevent connections in a TIME-WAIT state from blocking new listen
connections.
2018-04-28 14:46:53 +00:00
- Display y-range of plots.
2018-04-29 23:19:37 +00:00
- Added ability to unload traces loaded from files. To do so close the main
profiler window. You will return to the connect/open selection dialog.
Live captures cannot be terminated this way.
2018-05-02 17:28:04 +00:00
- Zones previously displayed in zone info window are remembered and you can
go back to them. Closing the zone info window or switching between CPU and
GPU zones will clear the memory.
2018-05-25 19:18:51 +00:00
- Improved message list window.
- Messages are now displayed in columns.
- Originating thread of each message is now included in the list.
2018-08-18 17:58:09 +00:00

- You can now navigate to next and previous frame.
2018-06-05 22:48:54 +00:00
- Zone statistics can be now displayed using only self times.
2018-06-17 17:37:02 +00:00
- Support for tracing GPU events using Vulkan.
- Timeline will now display "OpenGL context" or "Vulkan context" instead of
"GPU context".
- Fixed regression causing invalid display of GPU context appearance time.
2018-06-20 20:32:55 +00:00
- Fixed regression causing invalid reporting of an active CPU in zone end
events, if MSVC rdtscp optimization was not enabled.
2018-06-21 22:33:09 +00:00
- Ability to collect true call stacks.
- Supported on Windows, Linux, Android.
- The following events can collect call stacks:
- Memory alloc/free.
2018-06-21 23:31:06 +00:00
- Zone begin.
2018-06-21 23:58:50 +00:00
- GPU zone begin.
2018-06-24 15:04:32 +00:00
- Zone stack trace now also displays frames from a real call trace.
2018-06-26 16:04:10 +00:00
- On Linux call stack frame name resolution requires a call to dladdr,
which in turn requires linking with libdl.
2018-06-27 23:17:28 +00:00
- Allow manual entry of GPU time drift value.
- Unix build system no longer shares object files between different build
units.
- Fixes inability to build debug and release versions of a single utility
without "make clean".
- Fixes incompatibility between "standalone" and "capture" utilities due
to different set of used feature flags.
2018-06-28 22:45:19 +00:00
- On Windows "standalone" utility now adapts to system DPI setting.
2018-06-29 14:28:00 +00:00

- Standalone server will now open trace files passed as an argument to the
executable.
2018-03-30 21:45:48 +00:00

- Store full thread name if pthreads (with 15 character name limit) are
used.
2018-03-31 12:14:49 +00:00
- Properly handle unaligned memory access (no performance impact).
