Release

1.12.0

Description

Enable parsing of segment GZIP HPROF dumps from OpenJDK Java 15.

Improvements in acquiring heap dumps.

Minor bug fixes, enhancements and documentation improvements.

Architectural Issues

Memory Analyzer uses int sized variables to represent objects in the target dump, which imposes an architectural limit of approximately 231 objects. Some 50GB+ heap dumps have more than this number of objects, so Memory Analyzer cannot handle them. There is an option to randomly discard some objects on the parse to reduce the number of objects below the limit. This might hide the cause of the memory leak, or it might still be shown. This release adds a limited capability to also view those discarded objects.
