What's the difference between the two forums?

[Willem.van.Rumpt]

Hi,

My apologies for the quite vague subject line, but can someone tell me what the difference is between the

"Help us shape future versions of ANTS Performance Profiler" (http://antsperformanceprofiler.uservoice.com/forums/131079-ants-performance-profiler-feature-suggestions)

and the

"EAP Feedback" (http://app7eap.uservoice.com/forums/141533-eap-feedback/filters/top)

Forums?

As far as I can see, the former was brought to life first, yet it leaves an impression of "ignore this, this was a mistake" (with one already implemented suggestion marked as "accepted", and one as "declined"), no comments or remarks whatsoever.

The latter forum only strengthens this idea.

What *are* the plans for ANTS Performance Profiler 7?

Kind regards,
Willem van Rumpt

Hi Willem - apologies for the confusion.

The first forum - http://antsperformanceprofiler.uservoice.com/ - exists to collect general user suggestions for enhancing ANTS Performance Profiler. I'm sorry it looks abandoned: that's not the case, and I'll make an effort to update it more frequently. So far we've commented on the ideas we've definitively accepted or declined. With the other ideas, we've been leaving things open to see whether there's more general interest - most have had only one voter (their nominator) so far. When our development team all return from vacation, we'll go through the list and see if there are any we can rule definitively in or out.

The second forum - http://app7eap.uservoice.com/ - is a dedicated feedback channel for the early access build of our new continuous profiling mode. Continuous profiling is one new performance profiling feature we're developing to launch during 2012. If you're interested in trying it out, you can get it from http://help.red-gate.com/help/ANTSPerformanceProfiler/download_eap.html .

As for plans for ANTS Performance Profiler 7: we're intending to release it early in Quarter 1 2012, and we'll be finalizing the new feature list early in January.

Does this clear things up at all?

Clear enough

I pop in every once in a while to see what's new on the development front, and saw nothing happening, except for a newly instated forum, hence the confusion (and slight worry ).

Thanks for the info!

Kind Regards,
Willem van Rumpt
