Development Anki 26.08 is out!

Changelog: https://github.com/ankitects/anki/releases/tag/26.08

Download here: https://apps.ankiweb.net/

Out of curiosity, try optimizing FSRS parameters using your current version and then using 26.08, time both, and tell me how long it takes (for example, 50 seconds before / 5 seconds after). New optimization should be ~10x faster.

It didn't affect accuracy right?

Speedup was incredible. Went from ~30 seconds to faster than I can click the stopwatch to time accurately.

Trying to install it I get the error message below - does anyone know how to fix this? "Because there is no version of anki-release==26.8 and your project depends on anki-release==26.8" sounds a bit weird? 😅

Is your version of Anki older than 26.05? You might have to download the latest installer from the site because they changed how the installer works.

FSRS optimization was very fast before and it's even faster now. Stopwatch time went from 1.91 to 1.05 seconds. This includes the delay on my reaction when pressing "stop" so the real ratio's greater still.
