    This is encouraging thanks - is it a patch or a new version?  Does it come free or charge?
    Do you know if they have fixed that vexing memory leak?

    regards

    Thank you Melanie, that was quite a feat to get this info posted! And it's good to see there is progress in Canvas' direction.

    Now, I don't see anything about stability listed... Or is that just a Canvas X thing? I wouldn't have thought of a single one of these listed fixes.

    Also, if these things are already fixed, why will it take a few more months to deliver the patch?
