I was considering adding a new feature to the profiler, but I’m looking for some feedback before starting. My idea is to hook up a function call tracer that could be enabled or disabled at any time during the profile run. This would allow you to track function calls made in response to a user action, such as clicking the mouse or hitting a keystroke. Ideas? Suggestions? Send them to the mailing list.
The nprof 0.4 alpha release (both binaries and source) is now available! The tabbed interface has been improved and a number of bugs have been fixed.
Note: there was a last-minute correction to the download, for those who might have jumped on it after it was released. The latest filename should be nprof-0.4a-alpha.zip.
Remember to send me some feedback if you’re trying it out.

The nprof 0.3 alpha release (both binaries and source) is now available! The new feature this time is a tabbed profiler interface. The source zipfile is a direct dump of CVS, so it should compile fine for you.
The VS.NET add-in is very basic right now and has some issues with VS.NET stealing focus. This will be enhanced in future versions. See the README.TXT file for more information.

Contrary to popular belief, I’m not dead and neither is this project. :) I’m busy getting ready to release the next version of NAnt, the other open-source project I work on. Unfortunately, I only have a limited number of hours per week to devote to all of the projects I contribute to. This means that progress might be spotty at times depending on whether I’ve gotten to something or not.
As for the code in CVS, I’ve had reports of it not being compilable. Unfortunately, there have only been a few reports in total. Let me know how the code works for you if you’ve had a chance to try it out!
I would be interested in feedback about features or development priorities as well. If you have any suggestions, please send them to the nprof-developers mailing list (subscribe).
I’m trying to import the nprof source into CVS as we speak, but I think the Sourceforge servers are down. This may have to wait a day or two. There is currently a source zip snapshot on the Files page for interested parties to take a look at.
Update - whadayaknow? I managed to get it uploaded.
