v1.1.52

Split off database reload code into a separate command line program, appswipebackend. Going forward, more and more code should be moved into the backend so that only the bare essential code needed to keep the GUI displayed is kept in resident memory.

Database loading code now supports capturing data from the repo's metadata/md5-cache/ instead of trying to parse the data out of .ebuild files. This solves a lot of problems with slot numbers that were previously showing bad data because the .ebuild files often do a lot of scripting with regards to declaring a slot number. App Swipe will still continue to fall back to parsing .ebuild files if the repo does not have metadata cache.

Now supports displaying bzip2 compressed files.
Now supports displaying text files with markdown formatting.

Now does a better job of sorting packages by version number. Previously, version numbers containing alpha, beta, pre, rc (basically, any sort of "pre-release") could end up sorting out as being newer than the final release.

Fixed a bug in applying masks to the right versions when using the <= operator.

Now supports packages with excessive tuples in the version string (such as net-ftp/ftp-0.17.34.0.2.5.1). The SQL database schema now supports up to 10 tuples maximum.

Available USE flags (IUSE) now shows the latest available set from the latest release in the repo rather than showing what the available USE flags were for that package at install. This seems more useful, as it may let you know more about what's really available out there.

Found some packages where the same IUSE flag is listed multiple times - we now remove duplicates so App Swipe's display is less cluttered.

We now filter out USE flags that aren't in the package's available IUSE flags list. This cleans up the display of extraneous USE flags that seem more like internal portage flags than actual options for the user.

Hard reload (CTRL-R) when viewing an app page no longer blindly reloads all mask files like it used to. Instead, we only execute SQL updates for the masks that contain this app's atom string. This makes hard reload work a lot faster while most likely still providing the same results.

Pressing Return while a link is highlighted in the browser view now triggers navigating to the linked page. This keyboard shortcut comes in handy after doing a CTRL-F search for a particular package.
