 * You can also use **Microsoft Embedded Tools** and their RTOS views as we are now compatible with each other
 * Microsoft Embedded Tools also added compatibility for Cortex-Debug for their version of Peripheral Views/Registers. They also helped with integrating Cortex-Debug with MS built-in Hex-Editor. To use MS Peripheral View, use `svdPath` in launch.json. `svdFile` uses the SVD feature from Cortex-Debug. You can use both at the same time if you wish but you should typically use only one.
 * Fixed a long standing issue with OpenOCD RTT where there was no good way to know when to start the RTT. We can now poll until RTT is detected and enabled. See `rttConfig.rtt_start_retry` in your launch.json to control who the polling works.
-* Support for loading alternate symbol files instead of the `"executable"` using a new launch.json property `"symbolFiles"`.

 | swoConfig<br>.swoPath | string | Both | Path name when source is "file" or "serial", device name regex match when source is "probe" for BMP. Typically a /path-name or a serial-port-name |
