I had a good week, improving performance and adding some advanced tools for future testing.

Full changelog: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/changelog.html

highlights

I fixed some deleted file records in the database. When you update, it'll take a moment to recalculate some things.

The options->maintenance and processing page has a ton of new settings to tune how hard the various background maintenance systems work and rest. These settings are mostly only for debugging, but if you are an advanced user and feel brave, you can play with them. If you have the 'memory explosion on PTR processing' problem, please check the changelog for instructions.

I optimised the taglist sort and update code a bit. Very large pages should be a little less laggy.

If you run from source, the 'easy setup' scripts have a couple new choices for setting up Qt, including choosing to type a specific version in. If you had the issue where your menus were in the wrong position, there is now a new (t)est Qt version (6.6.0) to try out, too.

next week

I got caught up in this 'background' work this week. I'd like to do something more visible and fun next week, but we'll see!
