Until I switched to 15pv17, I was using 15pv13 on Mac, Windows and Linux. All of them worked fine. Since I've updated to 15pv13, I encounter the following issues:
On Windows, when my application quits, it crashes all the time. I tracked down the problem to the threads, SpellCheckThread and UpdateThread. They seem to crash when they're called from the method 'ReleaseThreads'. 

I could not reproduce your problem, but I beefed up the thread
handling code in preview 18. Please test it out and tell me the
result.
On linux, when I have a note with a picture, I always have a NilObject exception. However the application doesn't crash when quitting. From the code I looked at, it seems normal as threads are not used in the Linux platform. 

Your description of the problem is a little ambiguous. Could you
tell me where it creates the NilObjectException.

Note, on Linux RB has some serious problems with threads. The RB
framework does not properly handle the scheduling of the threads
even when the threads are suspended and doing nothing. The CPU
will peg out at nearly 100%. This is why I turned off threads for
Linux.
