Early signs are good, but it’s going to need till Thursday to know for sure.

Great, looks like we are on track for stable releases.

Big thanks to @micstriit for nailing the last few issues

One more +1 for this being happily stable here.

So we’re seeing a change for the better in GC behaviour, in that time spent spikes up during the day and falls back over night, but we’re still seeing it gradually take more and more time.

Counts of classes loaded and thread count tick slowly up, and GC new gen size shrinks as GC old gen increase, till we hit heap usage limits.
This still looks like a class leak somewhere, right ?

I’m going to add the code and Java agent from Jira into our production Docker images next week.

No need to hold the RC up for this though ? We’ve not had any weird Lucee errors, and this odd behaviour predates the RC.

Ok, thanks for the feedback

I’m more concerned about if the current release is better than the last stable 6.2.4 than the RC, assuming it is better, my preference is to release

Agree. It’s working better :slight_smile:

The additional agent-based code from #LDEV-5903 is also working in our dev system as of today, so that’s good news for whatever other issue we have is.
