What's it all about, Alfie?

This morning I got a tweet from MarsEdit that 3.1.4 was out with a "major memory meltdown" that was causing a significant memory leak in MarsEdit. Daniel seems to have taken Bill B's advice and looked for the retain/release mismatch on the WebKit windows and was able to track it down. Very nice work.

I was noticing this but wrote it off to the same memory growth in Safari and Unison - all of these guys are using WebKit, and they all grow to enormous sizes, but that's just the way of things for now. Hopefully this will trigger Apple and Panic to double-check the memory usage as well. Who knows? Maybe they'll all be trimmed up soon.
