Microsoft.Bcl by: Microsoft

This packages enables projects targeting down-level platforms to use some of the types added in later versions including: - CallerMemberNameAttribute - CallerLineNumberAttribute - CallerFilePathAttribute - Tuple<T1, T2, ...> - IProgress<T> - IStructuralComparable - IStructuralEquatable - Task - InvalidDataException These types are "unified" to their later version equivalent. For example, when running on .NET Framework 4.5, IProgress<T> from this package will be seen by the runtime as the same type as the one already available in the platform. Supported Platforms: - .NET Framework 4 (with KB2468871) - Windows 8 - Windows Phone 8.1 - Windows Phone Silverlight 7.5 - Silverlight 4 - Portable Class Libraries This package is only required for projects targeting .NET Framework 4.5, Windows 8, Windows Phone Silverlight 8, or Windows Phone 8.1 when consuming a library that uses this package.

Microsoft.Bcl.Async by: Microsoft

This package enables Visual Studio 2012 projects to use the new 'async' and 'await' keywords. This package also includes Task-based extension methods that allow using some of the existing asynchronous APIs with the new language keywords.

This package is not supported in Visual Studio 2010, and is only required for projects targeting .NET Framework 4.5, Windows 8, Windows Phone Silverlight 8, or Windows Phone 8.1 when consuming a library that uses this package. For known issues, please see: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bclteam/p/asynctargetingpackkb.aspx.

ClrMD is a set of advanced APIs for programmatically inspecting a crash dump of a .NET program much in the same way that the SOS Debugging Extensions (SOS) do. This allows you to write automated crash analysis for your applications as well as automate many common debugger tasks. In addition to reading crash dumps ClrMD also allows supports attaching to live processes.

Microsoft.Diagnostics.Tracing.TraceEvent by: Microsoft

Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) is a powerful logging mechanism built into the Windows OS and is used extensively in Windows. You can also log ETW events yourself code using the System.Diagnostics.Tracing.EventSource class. The TraceEvent library conains the classes needed to control ETW providers (including .NET EventSources) and parse the events they emit. The library includes -- TraceEventSession which can enable ETW providers, -- EtwTraceEventSource which lets you read the stream of ETW events, and -- TraceLog which is is digested form of ETW events which include decoded stack traces associated with the events. See https://github.com/Microsoft/perfview/blob/master/documentation/TraceEvent/TraceEventLibrary.md for more.
