Changes in this Release

Per-second calculation of statistics values are incorrectly 1000x high

VSD includes options to display statistics values as per sample, without adjustment to the value, or as per-second, which calculates based on the sample rate. This per-second calculation was incorrect, so the values displayed were 1000x higher than the correct result. (#45011)

F12 is now a hot key for VSD

Now, when the F12 key is pressed while within any VSD window, focus goes to the VSD main window. This window will come to the front and be un-minimized as necessary.
