                    Since my last update, I've been hard at work on rebuilding the guts of the core feature of the
                    website: the crafting algorithm.  I'm happy to announce that as of yesterday evening, it's finally
                    complete!  The new algorithm is <i>blazing</i> fast!  Like... crafting plans which used to take so
                    long that they never completed will finish in well under a second.  Super fast.
                p.
                    An added benefit is that the algorithm change also required a change to the way mod data is stored.
                    Without getting into too much detail, the old way went back to the very earliest version of the site
                    which assumed people would be adding files for their own recipe lists, and therefore had to look up
                    each item and each recipe each time it was needed because it could never be sure what something like
                    "Copper Ingot" referred to until running the algorithm. Very, very slow.
                p.  Of course, it's been ages since that was actually a feature on the site. So, the new way sends all
                    the data for an entire modpack up all at once, and in a format where everything is directly
                    connected to everything else. Much, much faster!
