Fixing Memory Leaks in Xojo

General
1

Just want to point out the great and noble work that @William_Yu is doing to address memory leaks in the IDE and framework, and give some encouragement to keep at it. These kinds of fixes are rarely fun to work on and aren’t exactly a driving force in sales, but improve our overall experience and workflow.

So, yeah, thanks William!

Exactly. Leaks also creates barriers for people trying it and deciding to not continue due to it. I don’t want to write a server app that needs reboots as a time bomb ticking, for example; It would be a shame needing to put something in the docs like “It may freeze or crash if not closed and restarted at least weekly due to some memory leak we can’t control, please reboot accordingly”.
