Eikon Connection OnStatusChange

I'm not reproducing the behavior in either of these tests. On my end on shutdown of Eikon I see OnStatusChanged event raised with EStatus = 0 (Disconnected).
And in the second test on reconnecting to the network I see OnStatusChanged event raised with EStatus = 1 (Connected). I didn't use the RSearchCppEikonnect example for my test, I used a VBA example just because it's much easier to modify (no need to compile). But I don't see the dev environment to be of any significance here. The COM library in question is the same. Are you consistently reproducing the behavior you described?

As a sanity check I just tried AdfinXRT-EikonSDKSample (the C# version) and I still couldn't reproduce the behavior you described. On my end it all works as expected. I'll reach out to you offline to see how we can troubleshoot it.

We don't produce external release notes. The closest we have is the What's New app in Eikon, which is updated monthly, but it only describes user functionality. You won't find anything about memory allocation there.
The new search capabilities are tied to Eikon v4.0.46 release, but even if you have this version of Eikon you may still see the old search interface. The new capability is being rolled out gradually to a few thousand users at a time. I will ask that your Eikon account is targeted for the new search capabilities.
