The big thing going on here is that we are going to split up the libraries
a bit better, and remove GObject from the capture library. The libsysprof
library will bring in the capture library statically, so we can export the
symbols we want.
Eventually, we will bump the version to sysprof-3, but not yet.
This is useful because we might not have access to kernel symbols from
user applications which are not root. Various distributions are starting
to censor kernel addresses without root.
This allows the clients to fetch the symbol addresses without having to
be root themselves.
Now that we are post-3.26, we are removing the legacy autotools
build system in favor of meson.
Please report any errors you have so that we can ensure this is
ready for GNOME 3.28.
This will make it easier to support installing just sysprof-cli and the
sysprofd helper daemon on systems where GTK is not feasible or necessary.
This does not, however, do that. It simply gets things broken up into
pieces.
This is a major redesign a modernization of Sysprof. The core data
structures and design are largely the same, but it has been ported to
Gtk3 and has lots of additions that should make your profiling experience
smoother. Especially for those that are new to profiling.
There are some very simple help docs added, but we really need the
experts to come in and write some documentation here.
