This release of UIforETW includes the April 2018 version of the Windows Performance Toolkit, and some improvements to heap tracing. Upgrading WPT was delayed because Chrome M68's symbol paths were incompatible with it, but M69 shipped a while ago.

Probably the most important changes are that heap tracing can be triggered by specifying the PID (or two PIDs) of a running process, and the startup profile contains an improved heap analysis preset, also available in bin\HeapAnalysis.wpaProfile. Use Settings-> Copy startup profiles to get the new startup profile. Heap tracing details will be posted to https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2015/04/27/etw-heap-tracingevery-allocation-recorded/

The list of important recent changes is:

The etwpackage*.zip file contains 32-bit and 64-bit versions of UIforETW.exe, statically linked so that they will run anywhere. No compilation required. It also includes 64-bit versions of the Windows Performance Toolkit (WPT) installers.

To use this release just download etwpackage*.zip, unzip it, then run bin\UIforETW.exe (signed). WPT 10 will be installed as needed. etwsymbols*.zip (with source indexing) can be downloaded if needed for debugging. The PDBs can be added to your local symbol server cache with this command (adjust c:\symbols as needed):

"c:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\x64\symstore.exe" add /r /f *.pdb /s c:\symbols /t UIforETW
