PerfView 2.0.2 Public Release

This is the first OFFICIAL public release of PerfView since July 2016 (a year and a half).
Version 2.0.2 has Goto Source working for .NET Core Framework code (SourceLink support).

This version of PerfView (unlike the prereleased versions) has been signed with the Microsoft private key.

The copy of PerfView in the Download Center is old and will eventually be removed. Currently there is documenation there that points you to this place.

To get the tool simply download the PerfView.exe executable and use it. I include the PDB files in case you need to debug something, but that is a rare case and you don't need to do that normally.

The PerfView64.exe is optional. It is a small wrapper that launches PerfView as a 64 bit application. If you are dealing with very large traces that cause 'out of memory' errors, this can be used to avoid the problem. Note that you need PerfView.exe to be present next to PerfView64.exe for it to work.

Like all versions of PerfView you can see the specific release notes from the past year by accessing the 'Help -> Release Notes' menu entry. Highlights of this release include

• Support for .NET Core applications (including 'Goto Source' for .NET Core framework code
• Support for Windows Containers (light weight virtual machines).

TraceEvent V2.0.2 Public Release

This is the first release of the Microsoft.Diagnostics.Tracing.TraceEvent nuget package in almost 2 years!

Sorry about that but the transition to Git, The new way of signing, and just other priorities (like shipping .NET Native) caused delays. But now we are back and it is relatively easy

This nuget package is published at nuget.org at https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Diagnostics.Tracing.TraceEvent/ in the standard way.

However the symbol package (containing any symbol files as well as complete source), is attached below for archival purposes.

TODO: give a summary of the changes.

Release V1.9.65 9/29/17 Windows Container Support

This release was prompted by changed needed to support Windows Containers. If you want to use PerfView to collect or view data from these containers, should use this version. You also need to be running the RS3 or later version of windows 10 (these are called [Insider images](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/quick-start/using-insider-container-images.

Like other release I provide both the normal 32 bit version of PerfView as well as the 64 bit wrapper if you run into out of memory issues with the 32 bit version. Note that PerfView64.exe needs PerfView.exe to run (it just launches it as a 64 bit process).

As with other beta releases, this EXE is not signed, but I have included hashs here to hand verify if desired. Running

certutil -hashfile PerfView.exe Sha256
Should produce

44f2f9329bacb0e75363f3650a2e797bdac1719d31c18d89923e0b7381c917df

And running

certutil -hashfile PerfView64.exe Sha256
Should produce

If you need more security than that, you should build it yourself (although even there you are trusting that github has not been tampered with). If you send me e-mail at [email protected] I will send you hashs via e-mail if you like.
