I just tagged & pushed 0.7.

Major changes:
  • RecListAnalysis has the ability to make sure all users, even those without recommendations, have entries in the results
  • Parallelism and performance improvements. User-user is much faster; item-item training is a little slower but requires significantly less memory.
  • Some lesser-used arguments, particularly for the batch routines, are now keyword-only.
  • We use JobLib now for parallelizing batch evaluation.
Upcoming things to look out for:
  • a recommend-and-measure API to compute recommendation metrics when it isn't feasible to produce all recommendation lists in advance (e.g. full-length recommendation lists 
  • an demo experiment

Enjoy!
- Michael
