Full support for PlayStation® is now available at no additional charge! Getting access is easy: simply click the 'Confirm Developer Status' button next to Superluminal in the Tools & Middleware directory on DevNet or just let us know at info@superluminal.eu.
Fixed several issues when using paths with Unicode characters on them
Superluminal is now fully per-monitor DPI-aware. The UI will be scaled correctly using the Windows setting, no matter the scaling factor or monitor that is used.
When dragging the window between monitors with different DPI settings, all UI will be updated correctly
Runtime DPI changes, such as when logging in to a remote machine over RDP, are now correctly handled
The source view now has the functionality to browse to an alternate source location when the original source file path doesn't exist
The source file location in the source view will no longer disappear if the file path is too long.
The source view now always displays the source file location, even if it doesn't exist on local disk
The CallGraph now has support for filtering based on function names
The Function List now has a per-item context menu which can be used to jump to the corresponding function in the CallGraph
The context menu to hide/show columns in the CallGraph & Function List is now also enabled for the butterfly view.
Tooltips are no longer hidden behind the mouse cursor when using larger cursor sizes
Improved rendering performance
Fixed crash when using a control scheme with Omnidirectional pan
Fixed crash when cycling through find results while a timerange selection is active
Fixed crash when selecting a bar in the Instrumentation Timings window while a timerange selection is active
Fixed rare issues with starting a capture with 'start immediately' disabled
Fixed issue where the Thread Interaction tab could display the wrong blocking/unblocking stack in certain cases
Fixed issue where the UI rendering would be corrupted if the QT_SCALE_FACTOR environment variable is set
Fixed issue where the navigation pane on the start page could become too big, which would result in a window that could not be resized vertically anymore
Full support for Xbox One® and Xbox Series X® (Project Scarlett) is now available at no additional charge! Getting access is easy: just send us an email at info@superluminal.eu
PlayStation® 4 support is now available for preview. To get access, simply click the 'Confirm Developer Status' button next to Superluminal in the Tools & Middleware directory on DevNet or just let us know at info@superluminal.eu.
Fix for rare crash in threads view Fix for attach settings (including filter) not being persistent between runs.
Fix for update timer that could keep running while in 'start paused' mode
The selection mechanics have been completely reworked
The timerange is only ever set by the user. When clicking on a function, we do not automatically make a timerange selection anymore. This makes it also possible to continue clicking on functions while having an active timerange, making navigation with the callgraph a lot easier.
All views are always filtered to the active timerange. The option to choose between 'entire session/selected timerange' has been removed from all UIs. If there is no active timerange, data for the entire session is displayed.
Find results separated. The Find results are now separate from your selection. This means you can now click through/interact with your Find results without losing them.
Highlight changes.The Find result highlights are always displayed in yellow. The highlights that indicate your selection in the callgraph/function list are now always white.
We'd love to hear what you think of these changes!
Greatly reduced CPU usage of the profiler itself. It will no longer use CPU when idle
Added support for adding multiple input-bindings to a single action
The default bindings now support Alt + Mouse wheel zoom as secondary binding
Added support for pre-installing a license during install of Superluminal. This allows system administrators to remotely install and activate Superluminal without intervention from the user. To use, specify /lic=<path to license file> on the installer command line
Breaking Change The PerformanceAPI has been completely reworked. Please see the documentation (Help -> Documentation) for more information. Most important changes:
It is now a static library instead of a DLL
It is no longer required to use the InstrumentationScope class to send events to Superluminal. New functions BeginEvent and EndEvent are now available to achieve the same effect, allowing for easy integration with existing profiling systems
A FindSuperluminalAPI.cmake file is now included for easy integration in CMake-based build systems
Input bindings have become much more versatile: key and mouse bindings can now be configured to match many existing input schemes. Standard presets for commonly used profilers have been added
GPU memory consumption has been lowered a great deal
Vertical scrolling is now smooth instead of a stepwise scroll
Improved capturing UI: start/stopping/canceling profiling is now done through buttons rather than 'links'
Improved capturing UI: the progress icon is greyed out and doesn't animate when profiling is paused, to more clearly indicate the paused state
Fixed issue with symbol resolving progress bar being on 100% while symbols were still loading
Fixed go to blocking/unblocking stack not highlighting the target stack in certain cases
Fixed go to blocking/unblocking stack not highlighting the entirety of the stack in certain cases
Fixed 'F' to frame: now frames the selected timerange again
Added software rendering support for systems where GPU acceleration is not available
Added 'Flat List' view, which collapses all data for a given function into a flat view, giving you total inclusive/exclusive time per function
Added butterfly (called by/calls) view (in the 'Flat List' tab). This will show you where a particular function is being called from and what other functions it calls
Added support for resolving thunk functions in all views. This resolves various cases of calls to thunk functions missing from, for example, the disassembly view
License entry is now more forgiving; extra newlines and such are ignored
Fixed some font rendering artifacts
Fixed performance regression in symbol resolving
Fixed crash when drag selecting a timerange after switching the callgraph to 'selected timerange' in rare cases
Fixed several rare crashes that could occur right after opening a profile
Fixed corrupt display of thread states in CallGraph in certain cases
Fixed thread state distribution being incorrect in the callgraph in cases where there is a context switch without callstack
Fixed exclusive time in the callgraph being off in cases where there is a context switch without callstack
Fixed timings in the source view from diverging from timings in the threads/callgraph views in certain cases
Fixed display of files with UTF8 byte order mark in source view
Fixed rare shutdown crash when using the profiler over RDP
Fixed crash when browsing through the callgraph while two sessions are active
