We keep working on a major upgrade that will represent a big step in terms of functionality and scalability, but as an intermediate release, we'd like to introduce dotTrace 3.1. The highlights of this new version include:

• Support for Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 3.x. You can now launch dotTrace from Visual Studio 2008 and profile solutions running under latest versions of .NET Framework
• Support for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008
• Support for web-based JetBrains License Server, a utility that serves as a central source of license tickets and distributes them between workstations seamlessly
• A new floating license that any member of your development team can use
• Stability and performance improvements

As usual, you can download a 10-day evaluation copy. Current dotTrace 3.0 customers can upgrade for free.

For more details on changes in dotTrace 3.1 as compared to 3.0, see Release Notes.

The new version features several important new features in the Performance Profiling department, some very useful Memory Profiling enhancements, and other helpful improvements. Overall, developers' profiling options are expanded with regard to both the application profiling process and working with profiling results.

The first to be mentioned is a quadruple increase in the number of performance profiling tools available to dotTrace users. The new profiling modes introduced in dotTrace 3.0 include sampling profiling for fastest, minimum-overhead profiling (at the expense of accuracy), and routine thread profiling for unprecedented precision of measurement. This catapults the total number of profiling modes from one to four - a truly versatile set.

As far as memory profiling, more intricate memory leaks can now be spotted with the help of dotTrace's finalized objects. Developers can easily see objects that were finalized without being properly disposed of in their code. Navigating around the object graph has also got easier, thanks to the ability to merge strongly-connected objects.

Performance profiling enhancements in dotTrace 3.0 include:

• Measuring routine thread time, in addition to the existing wall time profiling mode.
• Super fast sampling profiling for getting the fastest picture of application's performance with the lowest possible overhead.
• Ability to save individual parts of snapshots (tab saving).
• Filtering and folding function call chains in Hot Spots and Back Traces views and filtering function calls in Plain View.

Memory profiling enhancements in dotTrace 3.0 include:

• Finalized objects are detected, including those not properly disposed of in your code.
• Possibility to merge strongly-connected objects.
• Navigation to classes' source in source preview.
• Information about reachable and held objects is now serialized to disk, eliminating the necessity to recompute it on each memory snapshot opening.

Other enhancements include:

• Profiling ASP.NET applications from Microsoft Visual Studio.
• Profiling ASP.NET applications using Visual Studio Development server.
• Automatic creation of .config files for profiling modes not supported for the .NET 1.1 framework.

An overview of dotTrace 3.0 is available at http://www.jetbrains.com/profiler/. Information on new features can be found at http://www.jetbrains.com/profiler/features/newfeatures.html.

The release is available for download at http://www.jetbrains.com/ profiler/download/. A free 10-day evaluation license enabling full functionality can be requested at the same URL.

In short, there are no more evaluation licenses. Just download, install and enjoy the product for 30 days! We only ask for one thing: after you've tried the software, select Submit Feedback from ReSharper menu and tell us your thoughts. We take feedback seriously.

ReSharper 2.5.2 can be downloaded at http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/download/.

On the topic of evaluation licenses, our ReSharper 3.0 EAP (Early Access Program) has also moved to the new no-license evaluation model. Here's how it works:

• All EAP builds run under evaluation for 30 days; each EAP build restarts the evaluation period (released about once every two weeks)
• Nightly builds can be downloaded, installed and used under the latest EAP evaluation; however, they do not renew the evaluation period
• Also, an evaluation period starts when you first start using the software; it does not start and expire on pre-specified dates like it used to do in previous EAPs

This scheme will provide enough evaluation overlap to span the time between the most stable builds.

The final release is scheduled for the 15th of January, 2007. In the mean time, we invite you to download the first Release Candidate of TeamCity 1.2.

New feature highlights are:

• integration with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
• support of Visual SourceSafe 2005 and 6.0

Also tucked away on our website is news that we are offering a $99 USD saving on commercial licenses of ReSharper 2.5 and dotTrace 2.0 when purchased together in what we like to call our ".NET Productivity Pack". This offer will last until December 31st. You can purchase the .NET Productivity Pack at: www.jetbrains.com/resharper/buy/commercial.html.

And lastly, if you haven't checked out all of the latest features added to ReSharper 2.5 (read-only VB .NET support, performance upgrades, modified UI, etc.), you can learn more about these new features on the complete feature list at: www.jetbrains.com/resharper/features/.

Current ReSharper customers upgrade for FREE, so just download this latest, utilize your current license key, and you will be all set to go!

WHAT'S NEW
ReSharper for Visual Studio 2005, v. 2.5 concentrates on the performance improvements you have asked us for (but of course we couldn't resist a few new features as well!) You'll experience better performance in all areas: faster installation and startup (Visual Studio startup time is now close to that of Visual Studio without ReSharper), faster typing (including auto-popup on Code Completions), plus speedups for code formatting, error highlighting, Live Templates, parameter info, and more.

We think you'll also like the new navigation and analysis features such as the "Navigate From Here" feature which provides a single keystroke for quick access to all navigation actions from the current editor caret position, and "Value Analysis", a new on-the-fly error analysis which automatically detects when you access a variable that may possibly be null and immediately warns you about it.

Also in this version, a number of ReSharper smart navigation and code assistance features also work for Visual Basic. You can find out about everything new at www.jetbrains.com/resharper/features/newfeatures.html.

BEAT THE PRICE INCREASE!
With this new release, the price of ReSharper increases to $249 (US). BUT... since this falls right at the holidays, we decided to keep the old version price around until January 1, 2007. From now til then, you can still get ReSharper for the previous version price of just $199. So beat the increase and get the new licenses you need now at www.jetbrains.com/resharper/buy/commercial.html.

SEASON'S GREETINGS!
Let us take this opportunity to thank you for using or trying ReSharper, and to wish you and yours the best compliments of the winter holiday season, however and wherever you may celebrate it, and also a happy and prosperous New Year in 2007.

The most valuable addition to this new version of the product is its first-level support for Visual Basic .NET. VB support is still under development, and we are going to provide full list of features for VB in the next major release, but developers who work on mixed projects (C# + VB) can already benefit from the new functionality that includes:

• Navigation & search features (go to declaration/base/inheritor(s); find usages; go to type/file; etc.)
• Matching brace highlighting
• Extend selection (Ctrl+W)
• Quick documentation popup (Ctrl+Q)

We much appreciate your feedback, and encourage you to join the EAP and share your impressions and opinions on the new version.

The ReSharper 2.5 Roadmap is available at: http://www.jetbrains.net/confluence/display/ReSharper/ReSharper+2.5+Roadmap.

Please note that ReSharper 2.5 supports only Visual Studio 2005. However, users of ReSharper for Visual Studio .NET 2003 should not worry, since we will continue to release bugfix updates.

Memory Profiling tops the list of new features in dotTrace 2.0. Now you can see what happens with the memory used by your .NET applications. Snapshots of memory can be captured and analyzed in nine informative views, each tuned to a specific aspect of memory usage. You can delve deeply into different aspects, quickly spotting memory leaks, and easily seeing ways to optimize the way the application uses memory.

Other enhancements include:

• Integration with Microsoft Visual Studio. Developers can now run dotTrace from the Visual Studio IDE and easily navigate to open files.
• Multiple snapshots of the same application as it is profiled. Several snapshots can be opened at the same time to compare and contrast them.
• Windows services can now be profiled in the same way as web applications.

General information about dotTrace 2.0 is available at the JetBrains web site at www.jetbrains.com/profiler/. Information on new features can be found at www.jetbrains.com/profiler/features/newfeatures.html.

The release is available for download at www.jetbrains.com/profiler/download/. A free evaluation license enabling full functionality can be requested at the same URL.

JetBrains dotTrace can be purchased online at www.jetbrains.com/profiler/buy/. A new single user license is priced at $499 (US). Licensed users of the previous dotTrace version can upgrade for free.

SPECIAL LIMITED-TIME TIME SAVINGS!
From now until December 15 you can save $100 when you buy our .NET Productivity Pack - ReSharper 2.0 + dotTrace 2.0.

Developers can now automatically run and profile unit tests right from their code editor or from Visual Studio's Solution Explorer. From a dedicated window, you can analyze test results, run or rerun any tests, and navigate from a failed test's output directly to the code line that originated the exception, all with a single click.

UnitRun can be used together with JetBrains dotTrace 2.0, our intelligent profiling tool for Microsoft .NET applications.

Note for ReSharper Users:
If you use ReSharper, you don't need UnitRun – it's already in there!

The most important new feature in dotTrace 2.0 beta is Memory Profiling. Now you can see what happens with the memory used by your .NET applications to optimize how your app uses memory. You can capture snapshots of memory to analyze in nine informative views, each tuned to a specific aspect of memory usage. You can also take a snapshot of the application's memory state at two key points to compare them and locate memory leaks.

Notable enhancements in performance profiling include "Quick Info" for any function, the ability to compare performance snapshots of the same application, and new filtering options. Among other useful features and improvements are the integration with Microsoft Visual Studio and the ability to profile Windows services.

Information on new features is available at http://www.jetbrains.com/profiler/features/newfeatures.html.

We think you'll find that dotTrace 2.0 is now a comprehensive and robust profiling solution for .NET applications that stands up to the most demanding profiling requirements. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
