I've noticed that this test release does not free memory when I select "Remove
All Displays and Data". Some times, but not most times, memory will get freed
when I proceed to load in a different data source. Usually I have to
completely restart the IDV to get memory use down.
I've also noticed that the three memory use values in the lower left of the
screen (i.e., the ones that appear when you toggle off the realtime clock) have
been replaced by only two values (current use/upper limit of use) ... i.e., the
maximum use in the current session value no longer appears. That was a nice
feature ...

Subject: Re: [idvdevelopers] 20131220: New test release
One note about this. If you made any bundles from the previous progressive
resolution test release, they will probably no longer work (that's why it's
called a test release ;-)). We had to make some significant changes to
simplify the underlying code and it was not feasible to keep the old test
bundles working. You will need to recreate them, which would be a good test of
whether things work from scratch and from the new bundles.
And, as some of you have found, you cannot necessarily use any bundles created
under the test release with the official current release. But please test any
bundles made with the official release (4.1) under 5.0.
