Tracer 1.0

10th birthday release 🥳 🎂 🎈

In October, Tracer will be 10 years old. Is it too presumptuous to release 1.0 version? Farewell 0ver, don't make fun of me.

Massive performance boost

Tracer's speed vastly differs based on the number of running processes and the number of updates since you started your computer, so it is not easy to do speed comparisons. For a relatively fresh system, Tracer always finished instantly or within seconds. However, for long-running systems with daily updates Tracer could run even for several minutes. This version is 10-15x faster.
