Hi!

I really like that DTrace for Windows is a thing, thanks for that! And I really like that chill() support was recently added, since that's almost the most important DTrace function for my main use case (testing race conditions).

However, I see that the current DTrace release is from April 2022 according to its digital signature, and that according to issue #8 it is not possible to build a working bleeding edge dtrace kernel driver from the opensource code.

Since you've already said that you're not going to make it possible to build fully-functional DTrace from public sources, can you perhaps publish alpha builds somewhere more regularly, or make a new release?

@thejh I have released DTrace version 2.0 recently if you want to try it out - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=100441

It is still not an alpha release build, but a newer version that works with Windows 11 as well.

Thanks for the update! I'm not currently working on Windows stuff anymore, but I'll try it out when I want to test Windows stuff the next time.
