This release may be of interest to CoH players since there are a couple of memory leaks exposed through Cedega's testing engines, such as the Loading Message Stores...Done lock up error, that may be addressed in the release. There is something, well, interesting in the notes themselves. I've highlighted the important bit.

To the best of my knowlege, the "Loading Message Stores...Done" lockup is a threading issue. It has nothing to do with memory leaks, and is probably independent of the graphics drivers.
