As some of you who have been reading my blog know
we're working on the next version of ANTS Profiler for all you lovely
people. As part of our product development we normally release a beta
so that people can use it in their environment and get back to us with
any issues that they are having. So it won't come as a terrible
surprise that we will be releasing a beta for ANTS Profiler 3.0 soon.
Here's a list of what we've got to give you in the new version and features that we'd especially like peoples feedback on...
64-bit support (x64)
Fast-mode performance profiling
API support for enabling/disabling the profiler and taking snapshots
Webdev support
Improved project wizard
Ability to view results in an unlicensed version
Visual Studio 2003 and 2005 add-ins
IIS 7 support
BadImageFormat exception has been fixed 
(Praise be to Rob)
Sadly we're not accepting feature requests at this late point in
the development cycle for this version but please feel free to comment
here about features you'd like to see in future versions.
One thing I'll mention here although it won't be visible in the
beta is that we've modified the licenses so there is an ANTS Profiler
Standard and an ANTS Profiler Pro. The features in the Pro version are
Memory Profiling, Profiling API and Fast mode performance profiling.
Everybody who has paid for support and upgrades will automatically have
a license for ANTS Profiler 3.0 Pro so don't worry .
So if you're still reading by this point and want to take part in the
beta program, we're hoping to have it available in the next couple of
weeks.
If you have any specific questions or anything regarding the beta
query we'll be setting up a forum for it soon otherwise you can email
us at...
ants@red-gate.com
This email will only be checked for the duration of the Beta program.
