New this version
================
-This is a minor bug-fix and feature release since version 0.7.3,
-released Apr 4 2009. Notable changes this version:
-
-- Improved handling of UTF-8 characters. The new code is *not* backwards
- compatible by default; see "Upgrading" below for instructions on
- converting existing databases to the correct character set.
-- Unroll joins for large queries. This greatly enhanced database
- performance -- up to 50x for some queries -- at the expense of making
- an extra DB hit for some queries.
-- Added an optional plugin to use WikiHashtags
- (http://hashtags.wikia.com/) for the sidebar on hashtag pages.
-- Optimized Twitter friend synchronization.
-- Better error handling for Ajax posting of notices, including
- HTTP errors and timeouts.
-- Experimental Comet plugin -- supports the cometd and the Bayeux
- protocol. Using this plugin, you can show "real time" updates on the
- public and tag pages. However, server configuration is complex.
-- If queues are enabled, update inboxes and memcached off-line. Speeds
- up posting considerably.
-- Correctly shorten links posted through XMPP.
-- <link> elements for pagination, supported by some browsers like Opera.
-- Corrected date format in search API.
-- Made the public XRDS file work correctly.
