    v1 v2  
    11[yeah I know it's a delicate matter, with the need for the hpkg to contain the "system" flag, get the PackageInfo right etc, and thus I checked] both before rebooting and after rebooting yes, checked the mtime, the file size (the app_server extracted from the old nightly is a few thousand bytes smaller), the pkg attribute (now easily available in the third tab of the "Get Info" window, nice!). If that wasn't enough, I also tried running AutoCast, and see that my "fake transparency" hack is broken, for the first time ever : there is now a blank white background instead of "see through", so that's additional proof (likely due to running the newer libbe.so with an older app_server, which breaks X512's transparency clean-ups). I'll check a third time next time I boot that partition to make double extra sure :-) but it's a foregone conclusion. The heap corruption bug might have been there several months before, and it's only running it in Beta2 etc that it gets triggered (could be a timing problem, a "race" behaving differently : the beta2 feels faster, more snappy than nightlies, due to the Release build profile probably).

     3[Edit: anyway, after two hours of random testing, I went to my "staple" youtube test : "No Man's Sky Gameplay Trailer", in full-window mode (no YT interface), tried clicking around as it was playing happily, and finally app_server crashed a few seconds before the end]
