Version 2.5.5 and Recent Additions

Ya'll may have noticed yet another version change - now up to version 2.5.5 - over the weekend. This time the changes were purely internal in nature - a reworking of the code which produces the group section of a bishop's page. However, the performance difference is rather dramatic. The last time I did a full refresh of the bishop pages was in January and it took roughly 17 hours. I did a full refresh again last night and despite have almost 2,000 more bishops the process was done in under 6 hours.

Over the summer lull I spent much of the time adding historical cardinals to the databases. This includes all the Cardinals in the Consistories starting in 1644 and Conclaves starting from 1676.
