Hi, Yes, I understand that, but really, I just wanted to know where it was written in black and white and I couldn’t find it by searching. I could have worked out where it was necessary to override release myself, I just wanted to know the effect of calling it and not calling it. Asking why I am doing it assumes that is it a) my code I am talking about, b) that I am intending to add it as new code, c) that I don’t know what I’m doing as I said I was 99.9999999% sure that it needed to be called in this case but wanted to see it in black and while.
