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

[Gilles Caulier]

Vlado,

1.4.0 do not have any GUI big changes. It's just a bugfix release
including the famous memory leak.

I think you make a mistake with the last 2.0.0 version which is under
development and not yet stabilized (planed for Chrismast).

We will not creating the 1.3.1 version. Please use 1.4.0 version as well...

Best

Gilles
