I've noticed this myself when beryl started taking up >1GB of memory after 2 days.  I disabled the "burn" and "beam up" actions this morning and hopefully that will resolve it.

This will be released in a maintenance release (version 0.2.2 or something), but I'm not sure when that will be released.

Don't count on any more releases for beryl, it's unlikely for one to happen, but it has a extremely slight posibility.

[Comment 3 Joshua Jackson (RETIRED) 2007-06-13 17:48:38 UTC]

As was said previously, beryl as itself is dead...just really waiting for the new upstream release that is a combination of beryl and compiz, and then no doubt both compiz and beryl will become masked in favor of the new.

[Comment 4 Alex 2007-06-13 17:51:53 UTC]

Compiz isn't getting replaced, compizi is the new core, everything else runs ontop of compiz. It's basically beryl, new features, using compiz instead of beryl-core (Which really contained nothing more than compiz, but a few features like copy rendering)

[Comment 5 Akshay Shah 2007-06-13 18:05:33 UTC]

I understand that, I'm just asking for the patch to be included for the current version so we can use the current version of beryl without having to worry about the memory leak until the new version becomes available.

Since the impression that I'm getting is that this is going to take an inordinate amount of time to accomplish, can we add this patch to x11-wm/beryl-core-0.2.1-r1?

My apologies, had to rename them.

[Comment 10 Joshua Jackson (RETIRED) 2007-07-18 04:28:18 UTC]

finally added...I'm sorry for the lengthy delay, I honestly expected beryl to be out of the tree by this point but fusion is taking its time so...

Thank you for the patch.
