 # Changelog
 
+## v0.30.2
+
+*March 10th, 2019*
+
+This release fixes a CLevelDB memory leak. It was happening because we were not
+closing the WriteBatch object after use. See [levigo's
+godoc](https://godoc.org/github.com/jmhodges/levigo#WriteBatch.Close) for the
+Close method. Special thanks goes to @Stumble who both reported an issue in
+[cosmos-sdk](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/3842) and provided a
+fix here.
+
