Sorry to inform you but v0.8.3 (far from, at least v0.8.2) has a memory leak bug.
I tested it and 0.8.2 also leaks the same amount. :-)
Clicking on reload button used memory increase around 4kb for each click. Stop clicking make used memory increasing stop too. So increase memory size of dillo depends on reloads but not following links.
Dillo show the same memory leak using back-foward button between two different address. Could you reproduce it?
Yes I can.
I'm testing with a trivial HTML page: "<html>@</html>", because bad formed pages may result in some leaks. It's interesting to note that the leak shows with this page too.
I forgot to say that probably small and big pages have different amount of memory leak but it exist always, even in trivial and correct pages. The first thing I try to check was the correctness of my html. After I check that EVERY TAG, included <p> was always closed even if is not necessary close it (like meta tag, or <p> or <br>). HTML doesn't seem to me the reason of memory leak, if it were probably memory leak get out in following links too bit it doesn't.
I'll give it a look, though it's hard to know where to start...
Checking previuos version hoping to found one which hasn't this bug and comparing code between has/has-not could give us a good starting point to solve bug.
Thanks for the report. If you find more details of this BUG, please let us know.
I will... Cheers, -- Roberto A. Foglietta Analista Programmatore GNU/Linux SAD Trasporto Locale S.p.a. Corso Italia 13/N 39100 BOLZANO (I) Tel. +39/0471-450.261 Fax +39/0471-450.253
