@Renato,

Thanks for letting us know. Have you been able to update to v2.1.2? Did you have the memory leak issue in v2.1.2 as well?

Yes, I was running v2.1.2 before. That version is the one with the big memory leak.

@Renato,

Thank you for letting us know. We are working on fixing the memory leak issue and will keep you updated.

Hello everyone,

The latest update you should have is Glider v 2.1.2 . Please check and see if you have the latest update by going to windows -> whats new. The “Whats new” window should show the latest update version. Please let us know if you have any questions or if you come across any issues.

What’s new says v2.0.5 but checking for updates says your application is up to date. Do we need to re-download?

Just downloaded the latest for the mac, and about glider shows me:

Product Version: Lua Glider 2.0 201403101706

Java: 1.8.0; Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM 25.0-b70

Runtime: Java™ SE Runtime Environment 1.8.0-b132       

Than in the What’s new window it says: Glider v 2.0.5

Is this the “latest” version?

found the “fix” for updating glider in another thread:

  1. Go to tools -> plugins -> settings.
  2. Click “add” and paste the following update url http://www.mydevelopersgames.com/site/Glider/v2/v202/updates.xml
  3. Now an update was found and the what’s new window shows me this:

       

Glider v 2.1.2

  • Add option to disable file copy before debug.
  • Add option to disable automatic insertion of require debugger line.
  • Add ability to sort by source/name.

Glider v 2.1.1

  • Update database implementation

Glider v 2.1

  • Update to Netbeans 8.0 and Java 8

@hendri.thjis,

Thanks for the information. Yes, copy and pasting the update url should fix the issue. Please let us know if you come across any problems. The latest update should say Glider v 2.1.2.

@WideAwakeGames,

Please go to Tools ->Plugins->Settings and click “Add” on the right side. Then, paste this  http://www.mydevelopersgames.com/site/Glider/v2/v202/updates.xml into the url field and “Name” as Glider and click “Ok” . You should now see the updates. Once Glider is updated, the latest version should say Glider v 2.1.2. If not, please re-download and try the above steps again. Please let us know if this works.

Thanks,

M.Y. Developers

@Renato,

Have you had a chance to test out the update?  We would like to know if the update fixed the memory leak issue you were having.

Thanks,

It takes ages to start on my machine. Once it starts it seems to be ok but initial startup time is around 3 to 5 minutes. Is that normal?

I haven’t tested it yet. When the update came out I was on the final steps of a project and didn’t want to change the IDE that time. From that time to now i have been coding natively, but I will test it this week.

@ksan,

No, that is not normal. Could you please try clearing the user directory via help-> user directory and delete the contents inside there. Please let us know if this works.

@Renato,

No problem. Please let us know whenever you get a chance.

The user directory was in excess of 700 mb. In particular one file called var/log/heapdump.hprof.old was 600 mb. Deleted the whole contents of the user dir. How can we set a limit to how much in log files is retained? Logs should not forever grow. 

I’m afraid deleting all that did not help the startup time issue. 

During startup where the Lua Glider app banner says “Reading Module” takes a very long time. About 2.5 minutes. 

Then the progress indicator changes to Turning On. This step takes a very long time as well. 4 minutes and counting. 

It really is not usable like this. Keeps getting worse. 

Ok. After deleting the user directory next time it seemed to take forever (as outlined above) and then after I quit and restarted now it goes very fast. So something was mixed up I suppose. Question is what can be done to avoid ending up back there. Thanks for your help.

Why does the latest Windows 64 bit LuaGliderInstaller.msi installer only install into the Program Files (x86) directory on Windows 7 64 bit? 

Couldn’t get my v2.0.4 copy of Lua Glider to update to Glider v 2.1.2. following the instructions listed above so I’ve uninstalled and want to re-install the 64 bit version of Lua Glider.

Thanks,

Warren

Just download the LuaGlider from the website now and it say v2.0. The update didn’t find any available updates. The update url that was in the settings was:  http://www.mydevelopersgames.com/site/Glider/v2/v20x/updates.xml

I then added the new url (http://www.mydevelopersgames.com/site/Glider/v2/v202/updates.xml) as mentioned before. A new update appeared as available, but after instaling it, my version continues to be :  Lua Glider 2.0 201403101706.

How do I get my LuaGlider to update to Glider v 2.1.2 ?

This is really ridiculous. Why wouldn’t they update the core download on their web site to the latest version? Why would that download not contain the latest update URL? Doesn’t make sense at all. Somehow I ended up with 2.1.2 but I have no idea why it worked for me and not for you… 

This update links Why software developers themselves do not mention a start . Why downloaded from the official website is not the latest version . This is not a smart way to give users a software update to bring too much trouble. Resolve user problems and needs too slow. I do not know that you are a person in the development of this software, or a team is doing. But the status quo is doing very badly . Now I’m lost . Finally , thank you for your software.
