Why upgrade to dotMemory 4.1? For at least 6 reasons:

1: Disable/Enable collection allocations on the fly.
To profile certain functionality of your app without slowing down all of its other areas, try disabling allocations collection directly from the real-time profiling control view. For your convenience allocations collection period is marked by red line on a timeline.

2: Get more data on GC roots.
Starting from this update, dotMemory shows you the name of the field through which a static object is referenced. Later we plan to publish a good read on GC roots basics, so stay tuned.

3: Detect more common issues in a single click.
To help you focus on what really needs your attention, we’ve added a new automatic inspection that finds String duplicates and shows the related memory waste. Two more recently added automatic inspections, both related to WPF, were announced earlier in v4.0.10.

4: Copy, save and share profiling results.
Simply press Ctrl+C to copy current analysis results to the clipboard. Selection and copying of multiple rows is supported for all “Type List” views, all nicely formatted and ready to be compared or shared.

5: Enjoy new restyled UI icons. Our notion of profiling is that it should be clear, productive and even beautiful. That’s why this update features new great-looking UI icons for your viewing pleasure.

6: Name your analysis. Easily order and manage multiple memory investigations by providing your analysis tabs with custom names. Never again get lost in loads of various unnamed analyses.
