@karthink@fosstodon.org Thank you! Yes, Elfeed should be slightly faster now, since I made a few detail optimizations to the db. The db takes less memory since many strings and ids are deduplicated. Otherwise there are no fundamental architectural changes. No worries about not understanding search anymore - it is really still the same. Lots of my work on Elfeed was about resolving many of the outstanding bugs and issues, merging new features, and bringing the package up to current Elisp standards.

@minad@mastodon.world I'll second @karthink@fosstodon.org : just updated to 4.1.0 and the performance improvements are very perceptible. And you weren't kidding about the memory size optimizations! With my aberrantly huge index and usage habits my emacs daemon process is down to 2.2GiB resident, previously between 5GB and 6GB! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
