v7.3.2

August 31 2026

Fixed

• PUBNUB_LOG_TRACE in pubnub_free_with_timeout dereferenced pbp after pubnub_free had already released the context and its logger manager. Replaced with a pre-loop trace that logs while the context is still valid.
• PUBNUB_LOG_TRACE in the success branch of pubnub_heartbeat_free_thumpers dereferenced heartbeat_pb after pubnub_free_with_timeout had released the context. Moved the trace log before the free call.
• The PBS_NULL early-return path in pubnub_free called free(pb) on a pointer into the static m_aCtx array which is undefined behavior. Removed the call since the static context is already reusable in PBS_NULL state.

Modified

• pbcc_deinit frees the logger manager so platform-specific trace logs in pbpal_free (such as the OpenSSL unexpected-socket warnings) were dead code. Swapping the call order lets those diagnostics emit while the logger is still alive.
