After a near heart attack after discovering in early testing that the governor in the initial build of RC1 (and recent betas) has a memory leak. I quickly got to work with a fix. This fix has been issued in the form of v4.00.01 RC1 beta (build 83100).
Beta or not, I'm against memory leaks ;o. The thing is that processes these days use so much damn memory that to stand out requires it leak for days, lol. Oh well. This memory leak probably persisted on the last few days of un-pushed beta versions.
The cause was an optimization.. well, an error in an optimization. I'm not going to quit optimizing though, it is important. Most developers wouldn't confess this, and perhaps I'm an idiot for doing so. It happens to every native code developer though on large projects.
That's why we test for it. Thank goodness I did immediately start running tests ;o. Once I found it, fix was within minutes.
