Torsion 1.1.28 Beta
by Tom Spilman · in Torsion · 03/01/2007 (11:22 am) · 14 replies
Hey guys.
New beta build up on the road to a final 1.1 release which addresses remaining bugs.
Update: Took this old beta down... grab the new beta.
The changes in this build:
The big GDI object usage issue is *much* improved and i don't think anyone will report any issues with it this time around. Still see some improvements, but it involves more deep debugging of wxWidgets that i didn't have time to do before GDC.
In a couple weeks we should have another 1.1 beta and if that is good then 1.1 will become the official release.

I just had the old one at 9991 GDI handles and was about to restart, and I saw this :)

Sounds good, haven't tested yet but I do hope the slowdown (aka IDE handle?) problem will be fixed. Restarting Torsion only works for so long. Don't get me wrong, I think Torsion is a great product - hell, I wouldn't stand a chance without it, but the slowdown is starting to bug me :).

I've been using for about 5 1/2 hours so far and I'm still at 530 GDI handles, nice job getting that fixed so quick.

Well i still see some cases where we still get handle blow outs. It seems all to be centered around the editor control which seems to have had piss poor integration with wxWidgets. When i get back from GDC i'll do some more digging and fix the remaining waste in there.

Just a quick question, what operating system are you guys using? I'm using Vista Home Premium, and I have yet to have a problem with the new update.

Interesting, after 7 hours today I'm only up to 508, and I'm working it pretty hard. I do still feel like it starts to perform slower especially auto complete after about 4 hours or so.

I can confirm that this happens on XP. After running on my laptop for 4 hours I'm up to about 2500 GDI handles.

Hopefully no more slowdown after 12 hours of scripting it up :)
