extension-imgui no longer builds (on Mac M1). Probably related to the GLFW change? Errors include: ``` /imgui/src/extension_imgui.cpp Line 35: unknown type name 'GLuint'; did you mean 'uint'? GLuint tid; ^ ~~~~~ uint ``` ---

I believe that we accidentally broke it last time we updated it, and now we went back to the earlier behavior. @britzl can you confirm? ---

> [@Mathias\_Westerdahl](#): > > @britzl can you confirm? Correct. The old behaviour for json.decode() was to use Lua nil when a JSON null was encountered. With the update to our JSON parser we accidentally changed this behaviour so that json.decode() used a json.null userdata instead. In this release we reverted back to the old behaviour. ---

With the update to our JSON parser we accidentally changed this behaviour so that json.decode() used a json.null userdata instead. In this release we reverted back to the old behaviour. I’m possibly confused about timeframes then. Was the JSON parser accidentally broken during the development of 1.6.4 and then fixed again? I specifically had to make a change to code that was written against Defold 1.4.7, and working fine with 1.6.3, but broke with 1.6.4 ---

I get this error when close game. ```lua ERROR:RESOURCE: Leaked resources: ERROR:RESOURCE: Resource: /runtime_buffer_water_1.bufferc ref count: 2 ERROR:RESOURCE: Resource: /def-mesh/buffers/buffer1.bufferc ref count: 1 ``` This buffers that i create in runtime. ```lua mesh.buffer_res = resource.create_buffer("/def-mesh/buffers/buffer" .. RES_BUFFER_IDX .. ".bufferc", { buffer = buf, transfer_ownership = true }) ``` In 1.6.3 no errors. You add errors? or it not leaked in 1.6.3? I need to free resources that i created in runtime? ---

Hm, that shouldn’t happen no. We fixed an edge case issue with buffers in this release, but it _shouldn’t_ have this side-effect. Would you be able to send me a snapshot of the project, or a small repro? I’ll take a look ---

It became impossible/difficult to select a model by clicking in the editor. Probably something with boundbox detection. On the video within one object, but the same thing happens on a collection scene with a lot of objects. At the same time clicking into objects with sprites works as before. 1.6.4. 1.6.2. UPD: How it works with scene collection in 1.6.2 (I can select a game object with models by click over them): In 1.6.4 I can’t select a game object with models by click over them, but can select the game object with sprite inside them only: ---
