    out.
  - Frames can now also be discontinuous.
- Frames and zones too small to be displayed will be marked with a zig-zag
  pattern.

    selected message.
  - Middle clicking on a message marker will center it on screen.
- Added trace information window.
  - This includes frame time statistics and histogram.
- Displayed memory sizes are now properly formatted.
- Added call stack tree for memory allocations.
  - You can display allocations list for each call stack tree entry.
- The source code of the profiled application may now be viewed in the
  profiler.
  - BIG FAT WARNING: The actual profiled program source code is not known to
    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    is displayed, it may be out of date.
  - 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.
- The main profiler view will now occupy the whole window. Previous behavior
  is still available for embedded use cases.

    run times of both traces).
- Tracy will now collect host information, like CPU name, amount of system
  memory, etc.
- 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.
- Tracy can intercept crashes and finish sending data from a dying process.
  - Currently this is only implemented on Windows, Linux and Android.
- Call stack window may now display addresses of the frames, instead of
  source file locations.
- Memory events will now properly register their thread.
- 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.
- 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.

  - 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.
- 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.
  - Memory usage plot is automatically generated.
  - Basic allocation information is displayed in memory plot tooltips.
  - A summary of memory events within a zone (and its children) is now
    printed in zone info window.

  v0.2).
- Added ability to display global statistics of a selected zone from the
  zone info window.
- Fixed regression with lock announce processing that appeared during
  worker/viewer split.

- Don't save unneeded lock information in trace file.
- Don't save thrash in message list data.
- Allow expanding view span up to one hour, instead of one minute.
- 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.
  - 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.
- Display y-range of plots.
- 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.
- 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.
- Improved message list window.
  - Messages are now displayed in columns.
  - Originating thread of each message is now included in the list.
  - Messages can be filtered by the originating thread.
- You can now navigate to next and previous frame.
- Zone statistics can be now displayed using only self times.
- 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.
- Fixed regression causing invalid reporting of an active CPU in zone end
  events, if MSVC rdtscp optimization was not enabled.
- Ability to collect true call stacks.
  - Supported on Windows, Linux, Android.
  - The following events can collect call stacks:
    - Memory alloc/free.
    - Zone begin.
    - GPU zone begin.
  - Zone stack trace now also displays frames from a real call trace.
  - On Linux call stack frame name resolution requires a call to dladdr,
    which in turn requires linking with libdl.
- 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.
- On Windows "standalone" utility now adapts to system DPI setting.
- Optional per-call zone naming.


v0.2 (2018-04-05)
-----------------

- Fixed broken TRACY_NO_EXIT behavior.
- Visual refresh (new color scheme).
- Added optional support for live in-depth zone analysis.
  - Ability to search for zones matching a query.
  - Histogram of zone time spans.
  - List occurrences of a zone, grouped by thread, or by user text.
  - Zone groups can be selected and highlighted on histogram graph.
  - Support for linear and logarithmic display of time and values.
  - Histogram bins can show zone counts or total execution time.
  - Listed zones can be narrowed down by data range selection on histogram.
- Separation of server data handling code from the visualisation.
- Implementation of a command line capture utility.
- Support libraries have been updated.
- Fixed an issue that prevented de-duplication of source location payloads.
- Fixed an issue that prevented the ability to disable threads in settings
  menu, if two threads had the same name.
- Performance optimizations.
- Visual clean up of the settings menu.
- Zone info windows improvements.
  - Visual improvements to zone info window child list.
  - Zone info windows now show zone thread.
  - Display zone stack trace.
- Hide pause/resume button if there's no data connection (i.e. trace was
  loaded from file).
- Source location statistics view has been added.
- Fixed crash when a saved trace was opened, but no trace capture session
  was performed before.
- Standalone server will now open trace files passed as an argument to the
  executable.
- Fix possible crash in SetThreadName, that could happen if TLS init was
  delayed until first use of thread local variable.
- Store full thread name if pthreads (with 15 character name limit) are
  used.
- Properly handle unaligned memory access (no performance impact).
- Fixed broken lock identifiers in try_lock().


v0.1 (2017-12-18)
-----------------

- Initial release.
