Major .27 Issues being addressed

[tibbon]

It seems we've hit some issues with .27 that we are working to quickly fix.

Unfortunately, these are deep any ugly issues that have to do with memory management and garbage collection. Often difficult to diagnose and fix. We thought that .NET/Mono had decent built in memory management and garbage collection, but apparently we've hit the limits of that and we're going to have to rewrite a good bit of complex code.

As much detailed information that you can get when you run into bugs is much appreciated. And as always, thanks for bearing with us.

We think we've identified the major issues and we're working to quickly patch them. Until they are fixed, things will be unstable. We thought of rolling back to .26 or .25, but it seems best to just fix the effected issues and move on.

Apologies for this, but when we have this size of team developing this fast- issues are bound to crop up.

Things are looking up. We've put imVOX thru a number of performance profilers, memory profilers, logic tracers, lint and other static analyzers, and did the same with the GearPlatform. We think the primary bugs have been identified and fixed. Looks like we will be able to push a patch this evening. Will keep you updated.

Any further updates/ETA? We're having some assorted weird issues. I haven't been given any logs but it there's been some connectivity issues, lags and crashes since last update.

We just pushed a performance and bug fix patch to the newest release. I'm starting a thread on it right now. Thanks for holding in there with us.

Since these issues have been fixed I am closing and moving this thread to the Old Announcements section.
