Our release 0.8.2 is available now! It includes tons of performance improvements and some great bugfixes!

As a reminder you can upgrade from the previous release with the spacetime upgrade command. If you are on macOS and you've installed through brew we recommend using brew install clockworklabs/tap/spacetime to upgrade.

Highlights

• Memory architecture refactor: we're working on rearchitecting the way we store and retrieve data from the database. This is our first batch of improvements which reduces the amount of overhead when reading values from the database. This affects both subscription query performance and module performance.
• Tons of performance improvements
  • Incremental subscription queries are now evaluated in parallel
  • Join evaluation performance improvements
  • Lookups on an indexed column are faster
• Fixed spacetime generate --delete-files works properly without using --force
• Bug fixes
  • Fixed correctness issues with subscription queries
  • Fixed some issues related to unwrapping on None
