  • Snoop now properly selects the targeted window on startup

  • Snooping multiple app domains now also works for app domains that use shadow copies of assemblies

  • Snooping multiple app domains now also checks for multiple dispatchers in each app domain

• Improvements

  • You no longer have to have installed any Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable(s)
  • Added a lot more tracing to the injection process. This tracing can be viewed with DbgView.
  • Because of #151 there are now a lot more properties being shown.
    As a way to reduce the noise a new option to filter uncommom properties was added. The default value for that is true, so uncommon properties are hidden by default.
    If you want to show uncommon properties from types like Typography or NumberSubstitution etc. just disable the new switch right beside the default value switch.
  • Added "Copy XAML" to the context menu of the property grid. Please note that this feature is not finished and the generated XAML is not very good. I hope to improve this in the future.

  • #119 - Adding hyperlink for current delve object to enable explorer navigation
  • The window finder was rewritten to not use a separate window but a dynamically generated mouse cursor instead

The most notable thing about Snoop 2.10.0 is that Snoop longer supports .NET 3.5 (for x86 and x64).

The good news is that you can now build the solution very easily with Visual Studio 2017 ... that is, you don't have to rely on Visual Studio 2010. This also means that Snoop will now be reliant on the Visual Studio 2017 redistributables instead of the Visual Studio 2010 ones.

Finally, we are going to update the Chocolatey package (https://chocolatey.org/packages/snoop) and we now have a continuous integration build using AppVeyor. Thanks to Bastian Schmidt for these efforts!

We've got more planned! Stay tuned!
