Hi,

I’ve fixed some memory leak bugs in trunk. One of the  
biggest bug of them affects most of GObject based object…  
It seems that it’s a critical bug…

I’ll release 0.17.1 as a bug fix release of 0.17.0 in this  
month. If you know another bug, please report as soon as  
possible.

## Thanks,

kou

I want to use 0.18.0 not 0.17.1 for the next  
release. Because the current trunk includes new features. So  
0.18.0 plan will slide to 0.19.0 plan.

I have just tested with by booh-classifier program. This memory leak  
is very much a problem using rg2 0.17.0 (I load images, and memory  
accumulate quite rapidly and is never freed). It is good because you  
new release 0.18.0 fixes the bugs I can see in my program! Also, it is  
bad luck, because when I developped this application, I think with  
0.16.0 and sometime with trunk, there was not this memory leak (I made  
many efforts/checks for memory caching and memory reclaiming).

Thanks for this fix!!
