3_46 RELEASE NOTES

GCEASY
-------
+ It's not necessary to pass -XX:useCompressedOOPs JVM argument in the modern java versions. But still, several applications continue to pass this argument. If this argument is passed, GCeasy will flag it as a warning. More details can be found here: https://blog.gceasy.io/2020/04/16/avoid-passing-xxusecompressedoops/ 

+ Bug Fix: In GC Log Standardization API (https://blog.gceasy.io/2017/08/15/gc-log-standardization-api/), for certain type of GC log format (like IBM), 'pauseDurationInSecs' was returned as 0. Now it has been fixed. Proper 'pauseDurationInSecs'  is passed. 

FASTTHREAD
---------
+ When there are several hundreds or thousands of threads in the thread dump, the user might want to search threads based on thread name, thread Id, stack trace …, do case sensitive, regular expression, whole words searches. FastThread application provides capability to do such advanced searches: https://blog.fastthread.io/2020/05/03/search-thread-dumps/


+ In fastThread application, there is a 'Thread Group' section. In this section, fastThread app groups the threads with its internal algorithms. This generic grouping of threads may not suit well for few applications. Thus, we have developed a feature, which will facilitate you to write custom logic to group the threads. For more details refer: https://blog.fastthread.io/2020/05/06/custom-thread-grouping/

HEAPHERO
----------
+ In the earlier version, we introduced "Remote Location" feature. Using this feature, user can specify the URL location of their heap dumps in the remote server. HeapHero application will download the heap dumps from that location and do the analysis. Servers like 'artifactory' expect you to pass authentication token in the HTTP header, in order to download the resource. Now in the 'Remote Location' feature, you can specify the HTTP authentication header fields. HeapHero when it tries to download the heap dump from the remote location, it will submit these header elements.
