• Profiling without waiting at startup (nowait mode) does not require a config file for Java 6+ anymore
• Minimum number of significant digits for data feed labels in VM telemetries
• New icon set for Windows Vista/Windows 7 and all other non-Windows XP platforms
• Remember window sizes for JProfiler frames

• Object comparison: Reloaded classes with the same name contributed multiple rows with erratic numbers to the comparison
• Heap walker: The fallback for large snapshots did not always work
• Heap walker: Fixed a crash on Mac OS X when calculating deep sizes
• Heap walker: HPROF snapshots with multiple segments (for example Android snapshots) could not be loaded
