Here are some of the key changes in this version of Debugging Tools for Windows:

1. Several bug fixes in extensions to only use public symbols

2. General BugCheck Analysis Updates including:

• Bug Check 0x9F Update – Added logic to diagnose bugcheck 0x9F minidumps using new data in Windows 7 added to the 0x9F minidumps by the Kernel and Networking Teams.

Data includes:
- All Kernel ExWorkerThreads that process Power IRPs
- IRPs Associated with any ExWorkerThread
- IRPs Associated with PnP Completion Queue
- All Kernel Power IRPs
- Device Stacks for all IRPS
- NTTRIAGEPOWER Structure

6. Fixed problem with debugger reporting incorrect FPO information.

7. Allowed stack dumps deeper than 65535 if specified explicitly.

8. Changed ".outmask /a" and ".outmask /d" to be set only instead of or/xor.

9. The old ADPlus.vbs is being replaced by ADPlus.exe which requires the .Net Framework 2.0. For those cases where the .Net Framework isn't available we are still shipping the older version renamed to adplus_old.vbs. For detailed documentation of the new ADPlus.exe as well as for its new companion ADPlusManager.exe please see adplus.doc located in the same folder as adplus.exe.
