    47     binary data error. </li>
       
    48   <li><strong>Feature</strong>: In Heap Analyser's Object type view: If there
       
    49     is a unique referrer for the object type, or if all referrers are of the
       
    50     same known type, the object is no longer named [Unknown] but instead [Part
       
    51     of XXX] is now displayed, where XXX is the type of the referrer. </li>
       
    52   <li><strong>Fix</strong>: Corrected some paths in exported HTML files to use
       
    53     JavaScript functions and display tooltips also in Heap Data and Cell
