[PerfSuite-announce] PerfSuite versions 0.6.2 final and 1.0.0 alpha released

[Mailing l. f. a. a. P. <per...@li...>]

PerfSuite versions 0.6.2 final and 1.0.0 alpha 1 are now available.

Version 0.6.2 final contains no changes except for versioning 
information from the 0.6.2 beta 3 release, but it is now the official 
stable release of PerfSuite.

Version 1.0.0 alpha 1 is the first alpha release of the 1.0 series of 
PerfSuite.  During the alpha cycle, new capabilities and
features will be prototyped and added.  Features may experience 
significant changes as the alpha series progresses, and we caution that 
new features may be removed if necessary during the cycle.

Highlights of this release include:

- A new Java API for parsing PerfSuite-generated XML files.
- Fundamental change in data gathering, based on user feedback.  The new 
approach reverses the order in which the time stamp counter and other 
measurements (e.g. hardware performance counters) are sampled.
- Preliminary support for creating files that may be visualized with the 
Cube visualizer from Scalasca.

There are a number of other changes, enhancements, and bug fixes in this 
release.  See the CHANGES file for more information.
