(which is in beta) you will WANT efl from git (efl 1.16 beta etc.). efl 1.16 is due out monday. i cannot see your memory issue. my e memory level stays steady even running over night or a whole day. so either you have a module or feature enabled that causes this (that i don't) or it may be in efl itself (in which case my from-git efl is happily fixing the issue). -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list enlightenment-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
