Changes in build 4004

• Memory profiling: Class list view: retained size estimation is immediately shown for each class. Of course, you still have an option to run retained size calculation to obtain exact sizes.
• Thread status telemetry: now you can click at certain time point in the upper table to see stack traces
• IDE integration: NetBeans 6.5 Beta supported. Known issue: profiling J2EE targets from within the IDE may not work. This will be fixed in nearest builds. As a workaround, start profiling via the profiler's J2EE integration wizard.
• IDE integration: JDeveloper 11g supported. Known issue: profiling J2EE targets from within the IDE may not work. This will be fixed in nearest builds. As a workaround, start profiling via the profiler's J2EE integration wizard.

Changes in build 4000

• New feature: exception telemetry
  
• New feature: thread status telemetry
  
• UI: locally running profiled applications are immediately listed on the Welcome screen
  
• Memory profiling: up to 50% (32-bit) and up to 30% (64-bit) faster retained size calculation, comparing with 7.5.x. This improvement is especially important in Class list view.
• UI: stability improvements: fixed occasional exceptions that might happen after closing a snapshot
• Windows 64-bit: to achieve better performance and user experience, the profiler UI will automatically launch on a 64-bit JRE
