Prosodical Thoughts: Prosody 0.11.13 released
We are pleased to announce a new minor release from our stable branch.

This is a(nother!) release for our stable branch to fix a memory leak caused
by the security fix. Deployments using websockets, SQL storage and possibly
other configurations may have noticed increasing memory usage after upgrading
to 0.11.12. This is resolved by this new release.

Personal identity is a deep, and deeply meaningful, subject: at some level, what’s more important than what makes you you?
