I think this “News item” status message may be new. I think Ken has stopped using MailChimp to notify users of Webinars, etc. This appears to be an alternative.
Also, memory management seems to be improved. My usage has dropped since installing.

Getting the hang of it
Maybe a stupid question, but how did you get this graph? Is this something in BI that I have not found or is this external?
Also (to avoid two posts), I see Ken pushed out ..9.18, any idea what was in that one?
It’s a custom chart made using the Google Charts API <link>. I log the memory usage data every 10 minutes to a CSV file, which I process using a custom PHP script.
You could reproduce this using Excel or Google Sheets and the logging method described in this post.

Update on memory use in .15 It isn't a good as .14 at least after about 12 hours of running. Memory is sitting around 4.5GB but has dropped from an even higher number, ~4.8GB, and seems to be steady. Nothing in the release note that I saw saying what has changed either. I will say the...
Not yet. This time I forgot to create a registry change snapshot before updating.
To “discover” changes I use this NirSoft utility <RegistryChangesView> and the following steps:
1) Before updating or changing my Blue Iris version / configuration...
2) After...
3) The result is a list of all Windows registry changes between steps 1 & 2, including Blue Iris settings.

Known around here
I haven't noticed a significant pattern until the last 2 updates.
Perhaps its less noticeable for me because my utilization is quite a bit lower than yours.

Here's one... from a screenshot of the bottom left of the Blue Iris Status>Log tab...
This field is now directly editable... previously the only way to edit it was via its Windows registry setting.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Perspective Software\Blue Iris\Options\LogPathThe screenshot shows my preference. I use a weekly rollover %Y%W.txt instead of the default monthly rollover %Y%m.txt. I find this keeps the logfile at a more manageable size. Mine is currently maxing out at 130,000 to 160,000 lines.
The Blue Iris logfile can easily exceed over million lines in length if you don't keep it under control. Huge logfiles are painful to manually inspect.
Furthermore, I prefer the smaller files for my scripts that pull data from the logfile (like the one I use to chart and track DeepStack processing times).
What's a good Deepstack processing time?
I'm running Deepstack on the same PC as BI. When I review the log, I'm seeing average response times for DS processing around 2,500ms. Is that typical?
