[Digikam-devel] Fix "giant memory leak" in digiKam 1.3.0, maybe creating a 1.3.1?

[Vlado Plaga]

I know you guys don't feel responsible for distributing digiKam to the
non-technical end user - but Ubuntu 10.10 is set to include digiKam
1.3.0 ("beta freeze" was yesterday[1]) and this version has one
really critical bug: "Bug 243692 - Digikam uses all memory with
thumbnails"[2].

Since from what I've read digiKam 1.4.0 even introduces some user
interface changes, it might not be accepted in Ubuntu 10.10 anymore. I
don't know. Anyway I opened a Ubuntu bug report, to make sure digiKam
in Ubuntu 10.10 does not ship with this bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/digikam/+bug/625452

Would it be difficult to just write a bug fix for digiKam 1.3.0, thus
creating a kind of version 1.3.1?

Regards,
Vlado
