Removed

• Removed ReflectionUtility as it was no longer used by the package.

 

[0.4.0-preview.1] - 2021-08-31
Recommended Unity versions to upgrade to when using this package version:

• 2019.x
  • 2019.4.29f1 or newer
• 2020.x
  • 2020.3.12f1 or newer
• 2021.1
  • 2021.1.9f1 or newer
• 2021.2
  • 2021.2.0a12 or newer or any newer version of Unity.

Added

• Added a collapsible "Memory Usage Overview" section containing a high level breakdown of the Memory usage.
  • It shows the same breakdowns as the Profiler Window's simple Memory Profiler panel, adding two more categories which are untracked in the Profiler Window: Virtual Machine and Executable and DLLs
  • It additionally shows a breakdown of Managed Memory usage into Virtual Machine (currently only available when using the Mono scripting backend), Objects and the two kinds of free reserved space, either in the Active Heap section, or as Fragmented Heap in older sections. Note that Fragmented Heap Space can be reused for Managed Object memory, if new objects fit into contiguous free space in it. You can use the Fragmentation page to analyze your memory usage if you seem to have a lot of fragmented memory. This breakdown should help you determine if it might be worth to dig deeper into Fragmentation or your Managed Object usage, or if there are other areas to focus on.
• Added a collapsible "Top Issues" section containing some identified issues with the opened snapshot. On opening a snapshot, checks will be run and entries added to the list. Note: There are a lot of memory usage scenarios that might be problematic but are not clear cut enough for an algorithm without any context of the project to make any determination on. This list can therefore not be exhaustive but aims to offer a helpful start into memory investigations. More checks will be added going forward. The current set of checks will add:
  • A warning if the snapshot was taken from a Unity Editor, as memory usage in the Editor might be misleading compared to memory usage in a build.
  • A warning if the System Allocator is used.
  • An info entry if the snapshot was taken with some options for capturing disabled.
  • A warning when comparing snapshots that were taken with different capturing options being enabled.
  • An info entry when comparing snapshots taken from different sessions or an unknown session, as this will affect the detail level at which differences can be checked.
  • An info entry when comparing snapshots taken from different Unity versions, as observed changes in memory could be due to the version change instead of a change in the project. The version numbers are shown if they are known.
• Added a view selection Ribbon
  • Renamed the Memory Map view to Fragmentation page.
  • Moved all Table views into the new Objects and Allocations page.
  • Renamed the Tree Map view to Summary page.
    • This is an intermediate step in a larger UI refactor. In a next step, the Summary page will get new top level summary sections and the Tree Map view will be moved to the Objects and Allocations page.
• Added an option to the drop-down of the Capture button to not take a screenshot on capture.
• Added Virtual Machine memory as a category to Memory Map. This relies on changes made to the snapshot data and only works for any snapshots taken from Unity versions 2021.2.0a12, 2021.1.9, 2020.3.12f1, 2019.4.29f1 or newer. Only builds made against the Mono Scripting Back-end report Virtual Machine memory usage. IL2CPP does, as of yet, not report any of its Virtual Machine memory usage. This also addresses (Case 987987)
• Added a Button to open the package's documentation to the top right corner.
• Added a Menu button to the top right corner, containing an option to show the Memory Profiler's Preferences window.
• Added a "Snapshot Window" Button to the top left corner to toggle the visibility of the open snapshots pane and the snapshots list.
• Added the ability to set match row filtering for string based rows to check for exact (case-insensitive) matches additionally to the existing option to filter if it contains the searched string.
• Added a replacement for the details view of the Profiler Window's Memory Profiler module. If the Package is installed, it will provide the UI for the Memory Profiler module for Unity versions of 2021.2 or newer.
• Added a setting to Preferences / Analysis / Memory Profiler / Replace Memory UI in Profiler Window to toggle the Memory Profiler Module replacement on or off.
• Added "All Native Allocations" table which lists the Memory Region, Area and Root Object names for each Allocation.

Changed

• Changed the snapshot list UI by:
  • Moving the open snapshots section to the top
  • Adding a bar to break-down the total allocated memory vs. the systems maximally available memory to each snapshot (only works for snapshots taken form 2021.2.0a12, 2021.1.9, 2020.3.12f1, 2019.4.29f1 or newer)
  • Grouping snapshots taken from the same session together and listing the project name along side them (only works for snapshots taken form 2021.2.0a12, 2021.1.9, 2020.3.12f1, 2019.4.29f1 or newer, older snapshots are grouped into the "Unknown Session")
  • Moved snapshots options (Rename, Delete, Open Folder) into right-click context menu.
  • Snapshots are now refereed to as "A" or "B" when comparing them.
• Fixed table UI so that it no longer starts glitching when looking at tables of over 60000 rows.
• Fixed an issue where the Memory Map would draw Native Objects over other Native Objects and over the end of their Native Region. The UI falsely assumed that an Object's memory is contiguous, starting from the address to the Object's header. In reality it may consist of several buffers and other allocations distributed across different memory regions. Right now, the memory reporting of Native UnityEngine.Objects is not detailed enough (broken down to each allocation) to clarify just where all of an Object's memory is residing. Current Native Objects being drawn in the Memory Map therefore is not 100% guaranteed to be showing the correct amount of contiguous memory owned by this object, but at least it no longer draws over other Objects or outside of the Region or Allocation it resides in. (Case 1278205)
• Fixed Memory map colors for Objects and Allocations drawn outside of regions. (Case 1278203)
• Fixed Memory Map to not draw anything or a white background outside of actual memory address usage. The pixels for these regions where no longer correctly cleared to full transparency.
• Fixed Memory Map to not draw Virtual Machine memory as Managed Stack Memory in improbably high virtual address space. (Reporting of Managed Stack memory is not yet supported. Virtual Machine memory was miss-read as stack memory by the crawler.)
• Fixed Memory Map Diff to draw lines correctly again as green, red, yellow or purple instead of drawing all lines as red.
• Changed "Native Memory Regions" table to "All Memory Regions" table, naming Managed Memory Regions as either "Managed Heap Memory Section" or "Virtual Machine Memory Section" and showing this table in Memory Map details section when opting to look at Regions.
• Changed Memory map to show the new "All Native Allocations" table when displaying allocations to provide more accessible information on the details of the allocations.
• Changed "Import" button to use an icon instead of text and moved it to the right side of the toolbar.
• Changed the link text for the Native Instance ID column to ping the object it belongs to, if the capture was taken from the current Editor session.
• Clarified UI of the snapshot list to show more clearly which snapshots are open (Case 1129613)
• Changed loading of Snapshot preview screenshots to happen asynchronously to speed up opening the window and rebuilding it after Domain Reload.
• Improved Memory Map selection workflow, hinting that the table below it needs a selection to show anything and clarifying why there might be no data.
• Fixed Memory Map deselection not affecting the view immediately.
• Improved handling when taking a snapshot and waiting for the screenshot to be transmitted takes unusually long.
• Fixed removing of sort filters via the 'x' button to actually remove the filter from the column.
• Improved table names in the table view drop-down to format the amount of rows with thousand-separators.
• Fixed filters to only use "Pretty Names" for the columns they apply to.
• Changed Tree Map table to explicitly show the filters applied to the table when selecting a type block in the map. This also, for the first time, allows clearing the filtering after the first such selection was made.
• Improved the Memory Module simple view in the Profiler Window (this package replaces the default one) by adding a scrollbar.
• Fixed Tree Map to include 0B sized Native Objects in the count for objects of their Type.
• Fixed match filter input field so it always gets the keyboard focus on adding the filter (Case 1359045)

Removed

• Removed support for Unity 2018.4. Old snapshots can still be imported but the package of the UI no longer works with 2018.4.
• Removed the option to toggle off "Pretty Names" in the table views. It is now an unchangeable default.
• Removed Managed Global from references list of managed objects.

 

[0.4.0-preview.2] - 2021-09-01
Changed

• Fixed error messages appearing about 90deg and 270deg being an UnsupportedUnit for Unity versions before 2021.2.
• The 'A' icon in the break down table header is now hidden when in single snapshot mode.

 

[0.4.1-preview.1] - 2021-09-21
Added

• Added two capture options when capturing the Editor, allowing you to choose whether or not the Memory Profiler should close all open snapshots and trigger a Garbage Collection before taking the capture. The default behavior is to do both of these to reduce the noise when capturing the memory usage in the Editor.

Changed

• Changed capture logic when capturing snapshots from a Player to not close open snapshots and trigger a Garbage Collection in the capturing Editor.
• Fixed platform icons so they show up for more platforms.
• Fixed the Memory Profiler Module UI so it shows non-broken, single data set Memory Breakdown bars and a functional object data list again.
• Fixed a calculation for the Memory Usage breakdown where Virtual Machine memory was faultily subtracted from Other.
• Fixed Managed Memory Breakdown bars not swapping A and B bars when swapping the Snapshot.
• Fixed the value of Untracked so it stays as Unknown on sorting, instead of changing to 0 B.
• Fixed Allocation tables to not show allocations without a proper root object id as associated with ExecutableAndDlls but instead as having an Unkown root object.

 

[0.4.2-preview.1] - 2021-10-22
Fixed

• Fixed an exception thrown by the Tree Map when opening a snapshot that contains a group of types that collectively "use" 0 B, preventing the opening of the snapshot (Case 1368289).
• Fixed compilation on earlier 2019.4 patch versions which failed due to usage of some newer RuntimePlatform enum values.
• Fixed the profiler target drop-down to no longer cause a TargetParameterCountException and draw as blank button on 2022.1.0a13 or newer.
• Fixed the snapshot rename work-flow when renaming an open snapshot so that the name input field gets the keyboard focus after closing the dialog prompt.

 

[0.4.3-preview.1] - 2021-12-13
Added

• Added a toggle to the Memory Usage Summary when comparing snapshots to switch between normalizing the bars to their respective total, or scaling them to the bigger of the two.

Fixed

• Fixed an exception that occurred when creating a new UI Document via Create > UI Toolkit > UI Document.
• Fixed an Index Out Of Bounds exception in ManagedMemorySectionEntriesCache.Find on opening some snapshots, particularly IL2CPP snapshots.
• Fixed an issue which affected the crawling of some snapshots that prevented Managed Objects of types inheriting from UnityEngine.Object from being properly connected with their Native Objects and therefore not showing their Native Sizes, Instance IDs and Native Object Names in the tables (Case 1383114).
• Fixed "Failed To read Object, please report a bug." Objects appearing in snapshots with only one or two managed heap sections.
• Fixed "abnormal mesh bounds" error to not appear on opening snapshots.
• Fixed total available memory so it no longer adds GPU memory on unified memory platforms.
• Fixed Memory Usage breakdown categories adding up to more than the Total value (Case 1381034).

Changed

• Renamed the Memory Usage Breakdown category Other to Other Native Memory to improve clarity slightly. It shows all native memory usage tracked by Unity's Memory Manager that does not show up in the other, more specific categories.
• Renamed the Memory Usage Breakdown category Virtual Machine to Virtual Machine (IL2CPP), Virtual Machine (Mono) or Virtual Machine (Scripting) depending on which scripting back-end is used, or if two different ones are used when comparing snapshots.

 

[0.4.4-preview.2] - 2022-01-12
Added

• Added the Unity version a capture was made in to the tool-tip of the Session label of opened snapshots.

Fixed

• Fixed tables drawing blank areas when scrolled past row 60000 and scrolling to the right.
• Fixed the Fragmentation view's Memory Map drawing of Managed Memory regions while comparing snapshots when they changed size between captures. They would previously show the entire region as changed and not show which objects within them were new or deleted. (Case 1388611)
• Fixed an IndexOutOfBoundsException when sorting size tables in the Memory Map's Object list and switching to the Region or Allocations lists.
• Fixed the row size option in the Fragmentation view not being properly stored across sessions for Fragmentation analysis of snapshots in comparison mode.
• Fixed an issue where the crawler would find impossibly big string objects, inflating Managed Object Memory and causing exceptions when these were to be drawn in a table (Case 1393878).

Changed

• Renamed the References column to Referenced By to improve clarity slightly.

 

[0.5.0-preview.1] - 2022-02-02
Added

• Added selection events to the view history.
• Added details panel. This is context aware and will show extra information about whatever the current selection is.
  • Referenced By (Raw) section: This section of the details panel shows the connections to the current selection, where applicable. This can be used to determine the paths to objects that are holding objects in memory and is currently designed as a 1:1 match to the references column click through from the object tables.
  • Selection Details section: This section of the details panel displays, where possible, additional information about the currently selected item e.g. the fields on a managed object or the description of the currently selected memory usage overview category.
    • Showing these details is currently only implemented for Managed or Native Objects, Managed or Native Types and the breakdown categories in the Memory Usage Overview.
    • If an Object is selected that inherits from UnityEngine.Object (a "Unity Object") that has a Managed Shell to its Native Object, the Selection Details treat it as one object, giving you all the info for both of them and list out details separately as well were useful.
    • Where applicable, the selected item is searched for in the editor. If there is exactly one item found in the editor which match the search criteria, which is either the Instance ID (if the capture is from the current Editor Session) or its Name and Type, two things become available
      • The "Select in Editor" button to ping the object in the Scene Hierarchy or Project Browser and to select the object so it's details are shown in any open Inspector view.
      • If applicable, a preview is loaded from the object in the Editor. (NOTE: This is NOT how the object necessarily looked in the build. The search logic may have found a different object or it may have been changed since the build was made. This is just to potentially help in identifying the Object in the capture faster.)
    • Regardless of the results of the search for a specific object, the new "Search in Scene/Project" button can always help in finding Assets or Scene Objects quickly.
    • In Unity 2021.1 and newer, an additional button will open Quick Search.
• Added the ability to hide table columns and reduced the set of columns shown by default down to the most commonly useful ones. The reasoning for hiding these is:
  • With the managed fields moved to the Selection Details section, the "Static" and "Field Target Size" columns have become redundant, and so has the ability to expand Managed Objects to see their fields, and the "Address" column to see the field layout clearer.
  • With the Selection Details section showing a Unity Object's managed and Native info as one, the Managed Objects no longer show their Native Object's size and instead of splitting their size into a Managed Size and a Native Size column, the tables now only show one Size column and one Name Column by default.
  • The Native Instance ID is also shown in the Selection Details under the Advanced tab. The most important info from it is considered for the "Status" displayed in the "Basic" info section (i.e. negative = Runtime Created, Positive = Loaded from file).
  • If you took a snapshot of the current editor session, the Instance ID is used by the "Select in Editor" button in the Selection Details section to select the instance. It therefore no longer needs to be displayed as a link in the table.
  • All other links in the tables have also been disabled, as they would only help see further details for an object, that now live in the Selection Details section
• Added a "Count" and a "Total Size" label above each table that dynamically adjusts as you filter the table.
• The Managed Fields inspector in the Selection Details section has some additions over what was previously shown in the tables:
  • It links up NativeArray fields that point to native Allocations with these allocations for easier analysis of DOTS memory usage.
  • For IntPtr fields, it tries to find the Object, Allocation or Region that the IntPtr points at, and shows the information it finds.
  • For UnityEngine.Object.m_CachedPointer it shows the Native Object that the Managed Shell Object points to.
  • Recursive reference chains are caught and truncated so that it is safe to use Alt/Option + LMB click to expand the tree all the way. Though right now, to keep processing times low, it only searches 3 levels deep at a time.
• Added toggle to truncate type names in the details panel. It can be accessed through the kebab menu icon and the context menu of both the managed object inspector and referenced by tree views.

Fixed

• Fixed Fragmentation page to show an Allocations table with root object and area names when comparing snapshots.

Changed

• Memory Usage Overview categories can now be selected, either via their colored bar or via their row in the table below it. Selecting the category will show a description of what is encompassed in this category in the Selection Details section.
• Reduced the amount of memory used for snapshot preview images in the Editor.
• The Name column in the tables now shows managed string content in quotes.
• On capturing or importing a snapshot, the Snapshot side bar is now toggled visible if it was not before. It also scrolls to reveal the new snapshot.

We've posted a new thread for your feedback on 0.5.x with further details on the release here.

 

[0.5.1-preview.1] - 2022-02-25
Added

• Added tooltip to the Referenced By section to explain what it means. "Displays a list of other entities that reference the selected object."

Fixed

• Fixed Managed Type truncation for generic types to only truncate the type that holds the generic type arguments.
• Removed "Examples/SearchService/Providers" Menu item.
• Fixed issue where filters would be added to the spreadsheet tables and could not be removed.
• Fixed issue where selecting something in the references tree view would cause the spreadsheet to repaint and lose latent selection.
• Fixed Duplicate entries appearing in searches in the reference view.
• Fixed NotImplementedException being thrown when traversing history from the fragmentation panel to a highlevel element breakdown selection.
• Fixed the main selection not being recreated in the references view when navigating back in history from other views to the details panel.
• Fixed issue where removing filters would leave the wrong selection in the table view.
• Fixed refernces view selection causing table expansion state to reset.
• Fixed Errors and Exceptions breaking the Memory Profiler Window when minimizing, maximizing or docking and undocking it.
• Improved "Select in Editor" search accuracy for Assets and Scene Objects in 2021.1 or newer editors.
• Improved "Open in Quick Search" search string when searching for Scene Objects in 2021.1 or newer editors.

Changed

• Changed Snapshot preview screen-shot textures to get compressed in memory to reduce memory overhead.
• Changed Typename truncation so that all typnames are truncated not just the initial typename.
• Changed the Referenced By treeview to not contain the selected object.
  • The selected object that the references are calculated for are now displayed above the tree view.
  • The Referenced By button now show the number of direct connections in its label.
• The import buttons has been moved to left side of the memory profiler window toolber.
• The snapshots panel toggle text has been removed.

[0.6.0-preview.1] - 2022-03-10
Added

• Added the 'Unity Objects' view to show a breakdown of memory contributing to all Unity Objects. This enables you to more easily understand the total memory impact of the assets and objects in your project by showing you their total, native, and managed sizes in one place. Unity Objects are grouped by their types, such as Texture2D, Material, and Mesh. Use the 'Search By Name' functionality to filter the view to specific objects. Use the 'Flatten Hierarchy' functionality to remove the Type groupings.
• Added the 'Potential Duplicates' view to show a breakdown of all potential duplicate Unity Objects. Potential duplicates, which are Unity Objects of the same type, name, and size, might represent the same asset loaded multiple times in memory.
• Added the 'All Tracked Memory' view to show a breakdown of all tracked memory that Unity knows about.
• Added References To functionality. A list of the objects that the current selection has "references to" will now be displayed in the References To tabbed section of the details panel.

Fixed

• Removed two instances of Reflection for loading icons.

 

[0.7.0-preview.1] - 2022-05-04
Added

• Progress bar when opening the Tree Map for the first time.

Fixed

• Fixed Displaying of strings longer than 8000 characters breaking the Selected Item Details UI by capping the maximum length of strings to 8000 before displaying them.
• Fixed Compilation on Unity 2021.1.
• Fixed a possible TempJob allocation leak when failing to reading a corrupt snapshot.
• Fixed a NullReferenceException that was thrown upon trying to go back to having Untracked Memory selected while in Fragmentation tab using Memory Profiler (Case 1401201).
• Fixed type name headers in Details panel running off-screen for long type names (Case 1401535).
• Fixed NullPointer exception when clicking on the selected item label in the References panel if no item is selected.

Changed

• Sped up snapshot opening times.
• Moved All Object Tree Map and Table to its own Page.
  • The Memory Usage Summary on the Summary Page will now be always unfolded on switching to this page.
  • For all other pages containing the Memory Usage Summary, it defaults to being folded up and will remember its state on each page for the current Session of the Editor.
• Optimized Tree Map generation. This reduces time to open Tree Map by 25%.
• Remove reflection usage for opening the Preferences window focused on the Memory Profiler's settings.
• Renamed "Top Issues" to "Potential Capture Issues".
• Adjusted the colors of the bar diagrams in the Memory Usage Overview foldout to improve their readability and clarity.
• Adjusted Engine and Editor API usage to reflect Memory Profiler APIs moving out of Experimental namespaces in 2022.2.0a13.

Removed

• Removed View History buttons from the toolbar. With the removal of links in tables in version 0.5.0-preview.1, these buttons had become largely redundant.
• Removed sorting of the tables for the Memory Summary bars until pending rework on them is conducted.

 

[0.7.0-preview.2] - 2022-05-04
Fixed

• Fixed the layout of entries in the Selected Item Details panel.

More Details

 

[1.1.0-exp.1] - 2023-03-21
Added

• Added a dropdown to the Unity Objects and All Of Memory views that allows switching between showing all sizes as they relate to Resident Memory, Allocated Memory or both.
• Added support for RenderTexture metadata in memory captures.
• Added tooltips to sizes in Selection Details view, showing the memory usage in bytes.

Changed

• Reduced managed memory usage when opening snapshots by loading the managed heap bytes into native instead of managed memory containers.
• Changed the naming of managed object entries in tables when they are not connected to a native Unity Object from "No Name" to their address. Strings and char arrays additionally show their first characters after their address value. Entries for Unity Objects that had their native object destroyed further get the postfix "(Leaked Shell)" after their address.
• Changed Unity Object comparison for same session comparisons to further distinguish Unity Objects by their Instance IDs, unless the table is flattened.
• Improved Preview, Search and Select In Editor functionality, especially for Scene Objects.
• Objects of types inheriting from MonoBehaviour or ScriptableObject are now grouped under their managed type name in the Unity Objects table.

Fixed

• General layout improvements in details view.
• Fixed missing allocators information in Native->Reserved breakdown in compare mode of the All of Memory view.
• Fixed Managed Fields table to show details for struct data.
• Searching the tables now correctly finds items by their type name or overarching group name.
• Fixed Exceptions when opening snapshots with a managed heap bigger than 2 GB and contiguous managed heap sections bigger than 2 GB (PROFB-41).
• Fixed IndexOutOfBoundsException when selecting Managed Type groups in the All Of Memory table if all instances are Leaked Shell objects.
• Fixed a bug where the Select In Editor button was available, even though the selected object did not clearly refer to one particular item. Clicking the button could therefore select the wrong item. (PROFB-54)
• Fixed captures failing to save when the product name contained illegal characters (PROFB-63).
• Fixed NullReferenceException when selecting a PrefabImporter in the the Unity Objects and All Of Memory tables (PROFB-58)
• Fixed Search in Editor button being enabled when nothing can be searched for (PROFB-59).
• Fixed the issue that finding managed objects by their type was impossible (PROFB-64).
• Fixed an IndexOutOfRangeException when inspecting the details of a managed object with a pointer to a native allocation that has no root name reported (PROFB-66).

[1.1.0-pre.1] - 2023-05-04

Changes
Added

• Added thumbnailing for screenshots to improve startup speed.

Changed

• Deprecated accidentally exposed as public IComparableItemData interface.
• Updated window icon.

Fixed

• Fixed an empty MonoBehaviour entry displayed in the Unity Objects table when 'Show Potential Duplicates' was checked and there are no potential duplicate MonoBehaviours.
• Fixed Summary view tracking of Graphics memory on Switch.
• Fixed the Summary breakdown bar's total label overlapping with its legend when using small window sizes.
• Fixed not showing negative values when comparing snapshots in the Summary view.

 

[1.1.0-pre.3] - 2023-09-27
Fixed

• Fixed an exception on capturing when the default snapshot storage path was used (./MemoryCaptures) but did not exist. It now gets created if it is missing. Custom set storage paths will still not be created as issues with these need user input to get resolved properly.
• Fixed an ArgumentOutOfRangeException in ManagedObjectInspector on selecting some object entries in the All of Memory and Unity Objects table. The field inspector UI was trying to display the managed field values of static fields that hadn't been initialized.
• Fixed Snapshot opening triggering a synchronous search via SearchService to initialize it for the Select, Find and Asset Preview functionality. As that could trigger SearchService to start indexing, this might have lead to longer stalls on opening snapshots.
• Fixed string rendering when strings included the ´\r´ character (PROFB-113).
• Fixed a crash on opening snapshots with very large managed memory usage (PROFB-156).
• Fixed messaging for resident memory breakdown data availability. Detailed resident memory breakdown data is available for snapshots taken from Unity versions 2023.1 or newer.
• Fixed the Unity Object and All Of Memory table UI so that the table mode dropdown does not disappear in a narrow window size. (PROFB-110)
• Disabled resident memory visualization in "Unity Objects" and "All of Memory" tables for WebGL platform. WebGL doesn't provide residency status.
• Fixed bug that detailed information isn't showed for graphics resources.
• Fixed a bug when you can't switch snapshot if snapshot was previously open in compare mode.
• Fixed a managed memory leak in the Memory Profiler Module UI that the package inserts into the Profiler Window (PROFB-160). Also reduced the impact of a Mesh memory leak caused by UI TK (UUM-46520).
• Fixed the display of the memory usage bar diagrams in the Memory Profiler Module UI that the package inserts into the Profiler Window (PRFOB-165).
• Fixed issue with Unity Objects view that caused some managed objects not to group and shown as separate items.

Changed

• Documentation updated.
• The "Search In Project" button now searches in the Assets folder and in Packages (related to (PROFB-54)).
• Improved the performance of selecting items in the All Of Memory and Unity Objects tables for objects with managed memory. This affected in particular objects which have a lot of entries (their own or nested fields) displayed in their Managed Fields in the Selection Details panel. Beyond improving the performance in general, 'Continue...' entries, which can be clicked to get further entries added to the view, now not only appear in fields 4 layers down and for big arrays, but also after a total of 1000 field entries have been added to the view.

 

[1.1.0] - 2023-10-16

• Bump version to 1.1.0 from 1.1.0-pre.3.

Also see the 1.1.0 release thread for discussions of the release.

 

Not a package release but the Unite Talk going into details of the 1.1.0 release of the Memory Profiler has recently been released on YouTube.
