Hi all,
It hasn't given me any problems, except for a memory leak issue that appears to be particleIO related.
I think this is fixed as of changeset f2e555c03efe in hg. The issue was that I originally designed the particle io to be a proper data object, which was a mistake. I have now modified it to simply be a reader, and this now avoids reference count cycles that required the garbage collector to be called. I think in the slightly-longer term future I'll just get rid of the particle io *object* completely. That layer is no longer necessary. If this causes other problems I didn't see when testing, well, then we have a problem -- let me know. -Matt
