Trace Compass supports automatic alignment of the time axis for time base views. The user now can resize the time window of one view and all other open views will align to the new window size and position. The automatic alignment is optional and can be switched off using a toolbar button.
Refer to the user guide 1 for detailed information about this feature.
The Events Table is now highlighting the search and filter matches when performing a search or filter operation from table columns.
Refer to chapter Events Editor of the User Guide for detailed information about the feature.
The background color for search and filter matches can be customized using the preferences found under Window > Preferences > General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts > Tracing > Trace event table highlight color.
Refer to chapter Customization of the User Guide for detailed information about the feature.
It is now possible to configure the font used in the Events Table using the preference found under Window > Preferences > General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts > Tracing/Trace event table highlight color.
Refer to chapter Customization of the User Guide for detailed information about the feature.
It is possible to reorder the columns of the Events Table and the order is persisted so that after closing and opening of a trace with the same trace type the same column order is used.
The Events Table of LTTng Kernel traces has been extended to display the thread ID (TID) and priority (Prio) of current running process. These values are deduced using the LTTng Kernel state system.
The filter feature of the Control Flow view has been enhanced to allow selection of active threads or deselection of inactive threads.
It is now possible to expand the selected time range using keyboard or toolbar actions in time graph views (e.g. Control Flow view). This allows the user to select exact time ranges spanning from one event to another event.
Several performance improvements have been made to the Common Trace Format (CTF) parser and for building of any state system, for example the LTTng Kernel state system used for the Control Flow view and Resources view (see 2).
A Common Trace Format (CTF) writer has been introduced to be able to crop a CTF trace to a given time range. Using this feature it is possible to crop a large CTF trace into a smaller trace which will speed up the analysis. Please note that there is no UI support available yet. This will be added in the upcoming releases.
The purpose of the TMF remote API is to provide a programming interface to the PTP remote services implementation for connection handling, command-line executions and file transfer handling. It provides utility functions to simplify repetitive tasks.
Refer to chapter Remote API of the Developer Guide for detailed information about the feature.
It is possible to import traces automatically from one or more remote hosts according to a predefined remote profile by using the Fetch Remote Traces wizard.
Refer to chapter Remote Fetching of the User Guide for detailed information about the feature.
The API has been modified to streamline the generic interfaces and provide new capabilities. Developers that have been extending the functionality prior Trace Compass 1.0 will have to adjust their code base to these changes.
Please note that it is not possible to update the Trace Compass 0.1.0 application on Mac OS to Trace Compass 1.0.0 because of a change in how Eclipse applications are distributed in Eclipse 4.5, see bug 431116. Upgrading from 0.1.0 to 1.0.0 is supported on other platforms.
