Release 1.34

[jwu]

Highlights in release 1.34
- support for jdk 1.8 gc log files
- new command line argument "-t" to set desired export type
- improvements to the gui (state of timestamp ruler is saved between sessions)
- some new memory metrics were introduced to help determine necessary heap size better
- lots of improvements to the parser

For this release again a number of people have contributed code. I'd like to thank all of them - they have brought interesting features to GCViewer!

Outlook for release 1.35
- concurrent loading of log files, no freezing of the gui during parsing any more. Hans Bausewein has contributed a SwingWorker implementation, which led to a major refactoring of the whole gui layer. This will be part of the next release.
- switch from jdk 1.7 to 1.8
Release frequency is a bit low, so I'll try to push out 1.35 a bit faster than 1.34. But I still won't start announcing release times, because I don't want to put myself under pressure in a project I'm doing completely in my spare time :-). SNAPSHOT releases are always done for the latest commit.

You'll find the detailed list of changes, contributors and download links in the changelog on github: https://github.com/chewiebug/GCViewer/wiki/Changelog.
