- Added support for the %i sequential number placeholder to generate unique report file names
- Added support for smsp__sass_* metrics on Volta and newer GPUs
- The launch__occupancy_limit_shared_mem now reports the device block limit if no shared memory is used by the kernel
NVIDIA Nsight Compute
- The Profile activity shows the command line used to launch nv-nsight-cu-cli
- The heatmap on the Source page now shows the represented metric in its tooltip
- The Memory Workload Analysis Chart on the Details page now supports baselines
- When applying rules, a message displaying the number of new rule results is shown in the status bar
- The Visual Profiler Transition Guide was added to the documentation

NVIDIA Nsight Compute Command Line Interface
- Fixed an issue that reported the wrong executable name in the Session page when attaching
- Fixed issues that chart labels were shown elided on the Details page
- Fixed an issue that caused the cache hitrates to be shown incorrectly when baselines were added
- Fixed an illegal memory access when collecting sass__*_histogram metrics for applications using PyTorch on Pascal GPUs
- Fixed an issue when attempting to collect all smsp__* metrics on Volta and newer GPUs
- Fixed an issue when profiling multi-context applications
- Fixed that profiling start/stop settings from the connection dialog weren't properly passed to the interactive profile activity
- Fixed that certain smsp__warp_cycles_per_issue_stall* metrics returned negative values on Pascal GPUs
- Fixed that metric names were truncated in the --page details non-CSV command line output
- Fixed that the target application could crash if a connection port was used by another application with higher privileges
