      • Skyline Overview: Density-based visualization shows stack depth and event distribution across the entire timeline. Color-coded categories and logarithmic opacity reveal hotspots instantly.
      • Viewport Lens: A window highlights exactly what's visible in the main timeline - both time range and depth. Drag to create zoom selections, resize edges to adjust, or teleport with Cmd/Ctrl+Click.
      • Cursor Mirroring: Hover on the minimap to see a guide line on the main timeline.
      • Rich Interactions:
        • Drag anywhere → draw a new zoom selection

      • Synced Navigation: Zoom, pan, and cursor synchronized with main timeline.
    • Adaptive Frame Bucketing: Reveals nested frame detail and stack structure as you zoom, automatically adjusting frame granularity to understand complex call hierarchies.
    • Dynamic Frame Labels: Labels automatically appear on timeline frames as you zoom and pan, making log scanning and navigation effortless without manually hovering to see event details. (#92)

        • Reset Zoom: Press Home or 0 to reset zoom and fit all content.
        • Area Zoom: Alt/Option+Drag to select a time range and instantly zoom to fit it. (#164)
      • Measure Range: Shift+Drag to measure the duration between two points; resize by dragging edges; double-click or click the zoom icon to zoom to the measured range. (#164)
        • Esc or click empty space to dismis the range.
      • Actions & Shortcuts: (#573 #366)
        • Jump to Call Tree: Press J or Cmd/Ctrl+Click to navigate to the frame in the Call Tree.
        • Context Menu: Right-click for Go to Source, Copy Name, Copy Details, and Copy Call Stack.
        • Copy: Cmd/Ctrl+C copies the selected frame name.
        • Marker Navigation: Click markers to select; arrow Left/Right to navigate between markers.

    • Syntax Highlighting: Apex debug log files are automatically recognized and syntax highlighted for improved readability.
  • 🏷️ Group by Caller Namespace: New grouping option across the Analysis, Bottom-Up, and DML views. Groups rows by the namespace of their direct caller (the immediate parent code unit), making it easy to see cross-package activity. (#604)
  • 🎨 SOQL Syntax Highlighting & Pretty-Printing: SOQL queries are now syntax-highlighted and pretty-printed wherever they appear - Database view, Call Tree, Timeline tooltips, and call-stack rows. Keywords, functions, strings, numbers, and bind variables are themed. (#605)

Changed

  • 🎯 Call Tree Go To: Go-to links in call tree now navigate to method definition instead of where method was called from. (#632 #200)
