Hi Jürgen, all I'm wondering if there's any chance of an immediate follow up to the 2.18.5 release with a quick bug fix release.
Totally my fault, but when I backported https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/commit/90f381 I missed some changes which had occurred between master and 2.18, with the result that there's a huge memory leak in 2.18.5. Basically every layer rendered on canvas it retained for every canvas redraw. You can easily reproduce this by loading any map and zooming in out a few times - the memory use explodes and is never released. https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/commit/9838a8f fixes this, but the severity of this leak makes 2.18.5 unusable. Given I'm totally at fault here, I'm willing to get sponsor an immediate 2.18.6 release through North Road if that helps speed this up.
