prescient.el 5.0

Breaking changes

• Candidates which are not strings are no longer supported. This improves performance by a few percent, and there was never any real reason to support non-strings. (Frameworks like Selectrum should convert candidates to strings before interfacing with prescient.el.)

Enhancements

• Fuzzy matching now uses lazy wildcards, so only the minimum amount of each candidate will be highlighted in results from Selectrum or Ivy, rather than the maximum.

Bugs fixed

• In selectrum-prescient.el, secondary highlighting now works correctly when multiple filter methods are enabled (#123).

Performance

• The speed of prescient-sort has been improved by a factor of 2x for large collections. The speed of prescient-filter has been improved by a factor of 3x.
