• the gelbooru 503 Forbidden problem is fixed
• all gallery downloaders now send the page_url as http Referer header when fetching their image_urls
• pixiv parsing now grabs the correct tags for the image! previously, it was fetching the user's most common tags

• fixed a critical os x crash after navigating media with the manage tags dialog launched from the media viewer
• improved speed and memory use of num_tags queries a little bit
• reordered the predicate filters in the main query code so that num_tags happens right at the end, where it will run fastest
• removed an unnecessary filter from the main query code
• removed an accidental doubling of the simple predicate filters from the main query code where the file service domain is specified
• improved an important db index and made sure the db uses it everywhere it can. it should speed up most non-'all known tags' queries
• harmonised how all the new serialisable JSON objects are sent to and read from the db to a handful of simple general functions
• externally opening a file is offloaded to a temporary thread to avoid gui lockups on OS flavours that have delayed 'open this file pls' calls
• increased the commonly used read/write 64k block size to 256k, let's see if it reduces some file fragging
• clientside hydrus bandwidth reporting is a bit faster and simpler
