Hello, Good to hear that we are heading in the right direction (Thank you again for Sledge Ham for its contribution). I am trying to get a clean patch to submit and clear the remaning minor memory leaks left.
As you may have noticed, there was no release of Monobjc lately, thus breaking the near 1-month release cycle. It is because I am focused on solving the Snow Leopard issue before anything else. If you need a particular fix, mail me and I will provide the patch. I will post update of the Snow Leopard issue, as soon as I have some news. Regards, Laurent Etiemble. 2009/10/27 Duane Wandless <[email protected]>: > I can confirm as well that Laurent's patch fixes the issue seen in my > application.
