Release Notes 2009-08-29

Production For Use

Hello friends of Whirled. Today's release features only one significant change; the contents of the Shop front-page is now only recalculated every 10 minutes, in the background.

This should save the database machine from having to do enormous calculations on megabyte after megabyte of data, several times a second, just to conclude each time that the result is the same as it was for the last 400 times.

What this means:


 * Hopefully the lag is gone for now. Maybe.
 * Favoriting or defavoriting an item is not going to noticeably affect its position in the list for a couple of minutes. Oh well!
