Hi Alex! > Are there any plans to make a qooxdoo 0.7.4 release soon?
Plans are to have a maintenance release 0.7.4 in Q4/2008, see http://qooxdoo.org/about/roadmap . But that might not be relevant for the problems with your RAP application. According to the comments at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=244976 an official qooxdoo release might not be required/preferred for an updated/intermediate RAP release. Using a new release might even be more problematic than backporting some relevant fixes from the branch (due to the IP process involved). I'll check with the RAP project admins... > As a RAP user, > I am having memory issues with my application under IE that hopefully > have been solved in the 0.8 release. On the qooxdoo side there shouldn't be any significant memory issues left in 0.8. There've been tons of stress tests involving many (i.e. thousands) of widgets being created and disposed, and the results look fine for all browsers, including IE. Stefan was a huge help when fixing the issues during 0.8 development, and he backs up that conclusion. Apparently a mistake slipped into one of Stefan's recent postings saying "that all memory leaks are gone. (in 0.8 as well as in 0.7.4)". For 0.7 there are at least the following changes to consider http://bugzilla.qooxdoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1382 . I expect to have those issues addressed soon and (if there can be useful regression testing) to become part of a future 0.7.4 release. Independent of qooxdoo 0.7.x itself being memory-leak free, that might not be sufficient for your RAP application. AFAIK to reduce memory consumption significantly (especially in IE) on the RAP side, a transparent and generic pooling of (widget) instances would have been a promising strategy. This apparently could not be achieved due to fundamental limitations of the qooxdoo 0.7 GUI toolkit. BTW, those limitations should also be gone in 0.8, but its adoption might not fit into the near-term RAP release plans. Anyway, once I have updates on the memory issues and/or RAP, I'll let you know.
