Torsion 1.1.006 Beta
by Tom Spilman · in Torsion · 02/06/2007 (8:12 pm) · 31 replies
Hey guys.
Now that we've shipped 1.0 we're working on a 1.1 release which addresses remaining bugs. As part of that process we're releasing a 1.1 beta today that fixes all the bugs we've seen reported in the last week.
Old build taken down... see this thread for the latest beta.
NOTE: I didn't expect this, but after testing it on my home box it seems that this beta will end your trial if you haven't already registered... don't install this version if you want to continue with your trial period. Registered users will not be affected.
The changes in this build:
In a couple more weeks if the 1.1 beta is solid and no more bugs crop up, we'll make it the official release.

* Changed technique for updating ScriptSense which reduced CPU usage by up to 80%.
* Fixed flicker of the types dropdown when updating ScriptSense data.
* Added error message when saving project over read-only or locked file.

@Tom, a update tool would be great instead be reinstalling the software every time a new realease come out.
Edit: The auto-complete bug seems to be fixed =)

There is slow down after continuous using(3-4 hours). Without any visual bugs.
Continue testing...

@Gustavo - Has it crashed on you? Also can you get me a screenshot of the issue your having with the project icon? or give me more details about what the problem is?

Exiting Torsion and opening it again cleared up the problem, so I plan on closing it before I go to lunch each day

After about 4 or 5 hours of usage today, Torsion started slowing down, text took longer to appear after typing, Ctrl-F took about 5 seconds to pop up the dialog.Exiting Torsion and opening it again cleared up the problem, so I plan on closing it before I go to lunch each day

@James - Next time you notice this open up the Task Manager. When in the Processes tab add the GDI Objects column from the View menu. Tell me what the GDI Objects count is when you notice the slowdown.

When my find was taking about 2 seconds to open the count was 4,000ish

Yea... something has gone awry with GDI handles in wxWidgets. It's hard to believe this has been going on all along in Torsion and we're now just realizing it. Yet there is nothing that i can account of that would cause this behavior. I'm investigating it now... should have some solution by the next 1.1 beta.

Just below 10,000 GDI handles now, taking 13 seconds to maximize from minimized state, 3 seconds to open find window. Every time I try to push it over 10k none of my other poor apps can paint themselves :)

@Richard - Yea that's very bad... and not normal behavior. Something is really wrong.
#16
02/08/2007 (2:19 pm)
I can't seem to get over 1500 GDI handles today, don't know why it isn't happening anymore.

@Tom: The GDIs number increases as i type my code. After hours using it i got more then 10k GDIs.

Yep... i'm still working on this. I'm hunting thru my SVN revisions looking for the revision that changed the behavior. Whatever it is, it is not obvious... it's gotta be some weird message routing going on... at least that's my theory at the moment.

Along with the GDI fixed, is it possible to have Find fixed so it doesn't search the Ignored Mods?

@Jeremiah - Didn't know it was broken... i'll look into it.

But it seems to init faster with some open script, so it seems like the ScriptSense fixes had some influence :) (its an acceleration from 20s on my dualcore to somewhere around 4)
