Thanks for this _why - the visual quality is fantastic - I have trawled through the samples and found some interesting error messages, hope these are helpful

windows xp sp3:

welcome screen - works but if you just leave it, Shoes.exe memory usage starts at about 15 meg and then rises using 70-90 % cpu; after a couple of minutes its up to 45 meg and still going up - memory leak!
garbage collection problems?

samples:

class-book - works
expert-definr - works
expert-funnies - works so far - gets and displays the rss feeds but not the cartoons - errors in the console for all the http requests - not found(might be my lousy connection)
expert-irb hangs on opening
othello - works
tankspank - works

good-arc - works
good-follow -works

control-sizes - crashes:
from c++ runtime library
Assertion failed!
shoes.exe
cairo.c
line 218

expression: CAIRO_REFERENCE_COUNT_HAS_REFERENCE(&cr->re_count)

when it works shoes.exe looks stable at 15-16 meg, garbage collection appears to be working

Hello, here are new builds based on the latest code and packaged

1.8.7.)

If you're building from source, you'll need the Ruby 1.9.1
development libs. I hope that Policeman will ultimately work
with both Ruby 1.8 and Ruby 1.9, but all the distros will
come with Ruby 1.9.

This is a bit of a step back, I've noticed some font issues
and some freezing on OSX. And remote images are having problems as
well. But eventually this will pay off with greater speed and
more threading options, which Shoes has needed desperately.
