lassoan 2017-06-11 23:48 developer ~0014775	Remove node from the scene actually frees up all allocated memory. Memory leaks are caused by faulty modules that keep reference to nodes or data members in nodes. No memory leaks are found by automatic nightly tests, so the most likely source of issues are custom modules.
