We’ve reduced the number of lookups for information we make from the tag index - batching them together.

We’ve made the identifiers we use for files, tags and libraries much smaller.

We have changed the database we use to cache information like fingerprints and last modified times.

We are stricter about the fields we store in our “tag index”, avoiding storing overly lengthy fields (like lyrics).

So our scanning/indexing improvements in this release are: The tag index makes it faster to answer, for example, all the music files which are in the album Discovery (or whatever). Almost all of these updates pertain only to the initial reading-in of music files and the storage of tags in a “tag index” for later retrieval.

We’ve made a number of changes in this and the next build (currently going through development).

So we decided to look into making bliss run faster with less memory. But for those lower powered devices with small amounts of RAM, tied with the slower processors in these devices, often mean a slower experience. That doesn’t cover all Synology NASes there are plenty with 1GB or more that run better. Other more memory-capacious platforms run with at least double that. These devices typically have no more than 512MB RAM, and as a result bliss is prescribed to occupy no more than 128MB (1/4 of system RAM is a good rule of thumb to avoid an app taking over the operation of the device too much). We’ve been getting some feedback from Synology users that bliss, when running on lower powered Synology NASes, just runs too slowly.
