Here is what's new in Update 4:

• Increased values for the Target CPU Count in the Suitability Report window, including the scalability graph. To modify the current value, specify the Maximum CPU Count in the Options > General dialog box.
• Ways to skip program initialization for Survey and Suitability analysis, by either starting the tools in a paused collection state or pausing collection for a specified time. To resume collection, either use the Resume Collection annotation or click the Resume button.
• The side command toolbar is more accessible. For example, to start Survey or Suitability analysis in a paused collection state, use the << button to show it. After analysis completes, use the >> button to hide it, which increases the width available for the Report window.
• New options that let you display or hide the warning message for missing debug information (Survey) and set the Suitability Report's Maximum CPU Count.
• Several new messages, a visual indication in the result tab name when a tool is waiting for you to click a button, and other usability enhancements.
