Jan 30, 2013Dmitri Leonov

Summary
Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 applies the symbol loading logic from Update 1 to IntelliTrace scenarios (live debugging and .iTrace file analysis) and performance analysis of Windows Store apps and CPU sampling profiling on Windows 8. This includes a cancellation dialog for symbol loading and improved manual symbol loading through the Modules window, making it cancellable and benefiting from caching.
