.NET support
- feature .NET 8 is supported.
Linux support
- feature Profiler UI has been ported to the Linux arm64 platform. Now you can launch profiler UI on your lovely Raspberry Pi, or on the powerful Arm workstations.
- caveat The minimal supported glibc version for the profiler agent on x86 and x64 platforms is 2.17. It corresponds to the RHEL 7.
macOS support

YourKit Connection Broker
-
feature Connection Broker shows CPU utilization
in the application list
for applications running with the profiler agent 2023.9.

Networking
- feature Authentication with encrypted PPK Version 3 key file is supported. In particular, profiler supports PuTTY keys with the Argon2 hashing scheme.
- improvement The profiler detects a situation where the connection is established through a misconfigured HTTP proxy server, and shows a special error message to help resolve the issue.
User interface
-
feature Memory performance charts
now show GC activity: number of garbage collections per second, and time
spent in garbage collection.
- feature The profiler supports drag and drop. Now, in order to open a snapshot, you can simply drag and drop it into the profiler window.
- improvement Improved responsiveness of the user interface, when synchronizing with the profiler agent.
- improvement Smoother animations on Windows.

for starting profiling has been redesigned, streamlined, and improved.
Some options have been moved to the
Advanced startup options section.
This has made the UI more convenient and clear.

Memory profiling
-
feature Allocation flame graph is a new way to visualize an allocation call tree, which allows finding the object allocation hotspots quickly and easily. Allocation flame graph is similar to CPU flame graph, but shows the allocations as a flame.
