Canto | Details

You can grab the 0.6.8 release in tar or OSX portfile format from the download page.

• Fix set_tag_sort(None)
• Fix miscount of items when all filtered
• Reader keybinds now passed reader object (like Gui keybinds)
• Cache overused locale query
• Convert setup.py to pure python (no more sed scripts)

Another release of miscellaneous fixes. Alot of these have been percolating in git for awhile, but the trigger for the release was the cache of the locale query. By caching that, the amount of CPU time for basically any user interaction was drastically reduced. I'm not sure that if your computer is even remotely modern you'll notice a difference but 0.7.0 is focusing on scalability and performance and this change was too simple to not just go ahead and put it out. I have to say I was flabbergasted the amount of time that was spent running that locale function, so maybe I need to start looking at the cProfile output of canto more often =)

The reader passing is a consistency issue, so you can do stuff like

reader_keys['1'] = lambda x : x.dogoto(1)

to make a keybind to go to a specific link. The rest of it is pretty minor. No crashes were fixed this release, though I've heard about one or two in the wild, but nobody's gotten me a backtrace, so they might as well not exist.
