Potential Memory Leak in Mac Client v. 8.2.1310

written by AnnaMin)

We have found a potential memory leak in the 8.2. Patch 4 Mac client and are working on a fix to be released shortly. In the meantime, we will be publishing a Fixlet to warn about the potential memory leak with an action to restart the BES Client in order to free memory. We’ll update this thread with the new release version when the fix is published in addition to sending out a besadmin announcement.

Thanks,

We are in the middle of qualifying the fix and hope to have it released very soon. The teams are hard at work on getting the fix out. I will update everyone as soon as it is ready to go.

We’ve just release the update to the Mac client, which fixes the memory leak issue found in the previous version.

The new Mac client version is 8.2.1322. The upgrade fixlets are available in version 953 of BES Support. Please upgrade at your earliest convenience. Thanks everyone for your patience while we worked out this issue.
