What's new in this version:

BurnInTest Professional 9.0 Build 1017
- Disk test, added some extra checks that block size is not invalid when starting the test
- 3D Test, changed default test size to 800x600
- 3D Test, DX12 test, made some changes so test window can be moved to a different screen location
- Management console, made some changes so that clearing the Machine ID in the report information dialog will close the current management console connection and allow the config (or the default values in machineid.dat) to be saved with a blank Machine ID. This will then be newly generated next time BurnlnTest is opened using that config and the connection to the management console is made.
- Memory test, made some changes so the test isn't waiting longer than it needs to when running in conjunction with USB2 plugs or the USB test has errors before connecting to a plug (the memory test will wait for up to 1 minute before starting to allow USB plugs to connect and the USB3 benchmark test to run)
- CPU Test, added option to allow number of CPU test threads to be chosen Added a warning message when running the 3D DX12 test in conjunction with the GPGPU and CPU test at high duty cycles
- Logging, added duty cycle for the selected tests to the normal log output
- Fixed a crash on start up that could occur on Intel Baytrail systems due to an invalid MSR read


BurnInTest Professional 9.0 Build 1016
- Change log not available for this version


BurnInTest Professional 9.0 Build 1015
- Made a change to the 3D DX12 test to remove a timer watching for completion of the test, this timer could cause an error to occur if the system was put to sleep and then resumed. Now the background watchdog timer (that checks the operations count of a test continues to increase) will be used to detect if there is an issue running the 3D test
- Fixed a buffer overflow issue that could cause a crash in the cpu max heat test
- Changed behaviour of memory test when it generates an “unknown error”


BurnInTest Professional 9.0 Build 1014
- Change log not available for this version


BurnInTest Professional 9.0 Build 1013
- Added some test information to the display of the 3D test progress tile on the dashboard
- Network test, added extra output to trace level 1 log each cycle (500 packets) for standard network test (packets sent / recv, bytes sent, max / avg delay, total bad packets)
- Fixed a bug where a new test could be added using the "Test Selection and & Duty Cycles" menu item when the test results were being displayed, leading to a new test tile with no result (which could appear as a blank space on the tile view)
- Added a warning message and option to clear results when attempting to use the "Test Selection and & Duty Cycles" menu item when in a "Results" test state
- Made a change to detect USB drives better when auto selecting disk test options
- Fixed a crash that could occur in the 32bit build when trying to use the duty cycle slider for a test on the dashboard tab
- Management console, now when technician or customer is changed in the report details any current connection to the management console will be restarted so the changes are sent to the management console
- Fixed a bug in the DirectX12 3D test that could cause a "Test was interrupted" error message when BurnInTest attempts to resize/move the test window after initial creation
- Fixed temperature display for Ryzen 2700 PRO


BurnInTest Professional 9.0 Build 1012
- Added outputting of PCIe statistics to trace activity level 1 log once per cycle
- Fixed a bug where saved report defaults (technician, customer, serial etc) could be cleared when the current results were cleared
- Made a change to the CPU heat test so that the SSE2 heat test checks for AVX CPU support as well as some AVX instructions being used (which caused a crash on old CPUs like the Core 2 Quad 6600)
- Fixed an issue with the TPM test where V2 TPMs might not be found correctly and throw a "self test failed" error
- Added a new error to the TPM test if the self test command is blocked by the operating system
- Fixed an issue in the DX12 3D test where if an error occurred during the render process it previously might not be displayed until the 3D cycle finished. Now an error will be flagged when the error occurs and the test will stop running.
- Changed behaviour of scrolling letter 2D test so it will continue to run when not in the foreground
- Added technician and customer details to management console connection message
- Changed editing of report details so when technician or customer is changed any current connection to the management console will be restarted (starting a new management console session)

BurnInTest Professional 9.0.1000.0
New User Interface:
- New tile based user interface
- Tests will now run on top of their tile button un user interface (instead of a separate window) where appropriate
- Better scaling of user interface on 4K high DPI monitors
- New TPM (trusted platform module) pre test
- Checks for presence of TPM, runs self test and queries for version.

CPU Test:
- Added AVX, AVX2, FMA3 and FMA4 extensions
- Added checkbox for AVX, AVX2, FMA3 and FMA4 to test preferences
- Heat test, added new instructions to max heat test to maximize heat generation on CPUs that support FMA & AVX instruction sets

RAM Test:
- Improved the speed of the test by enabling memory caching. To replicate the V8 behaviour an option has been added to the test preferences to "Disable memory caching"
- Test now waits for USB3 benchmark test phase to complete before starting due to the large amount of RAM required per USB3 plug during the initial benchmark phase of the USB3 test.

Bluetooth Test:
- Updated and improved Bluetooth test
- NEW Bluetooth Advance Loopback Test to send/receive with the current Endpoint Software.
- Added Loopback test for Serial Bluetooth Devices (Tested with HC-06, Power to VCC, Ground to Ground, RX looped to TX). Requires the device to be paired/authenticated prior to be used in BurnInTest
- Bluetooth Loopback Test now supports up to 4 Remote Bluetooth devices.
- Added separate Duty cycle and preferences controls for Bluetooth test
