EContact 1.76

• Faster on an 8 MHz ST: Down to the next contact 75 ms (was 150), the list's arrow 105 (160), a letter typed in the search 95 (150), Settings opening 235 (320), the editor 350 (390), the accessory's window 2.0 s (2.1). On a stock Falcon Down is 35 ms (55) and a search letter 45 (70); under NVDI, with Courier 14 too, a search letter 35 (55).
• A click (the family's new rule): a contact or a group is selected the moment the button goes down, without the wait for a second click, and its card or list comes when you let go. Let go of a group somewhere else and nothing changes. EContact's own buttons (the sidebar button, Refresh, the search's clear button, the card's +, Edit and mail) and the Settings and editor tabs act when let go over them. A phone number or address on the card still waits a moment, as a click opens its menu and a double click mails the address.
• Under NVDI and with GDOS fonts, plain text is drawn the way it was before 1.75, not the faster way that only TOS's own screen has.
• The accessory takes less memory: 9 KB under 1.75.
• Shared code: Direct connections ask for RSA certificates first (a stock Falcon's ECDSA signing took too long for some servers), a faster scroll bar, the About box.

Still over the family's times on a stock 8 MHz ST (the speed rig, 621 contacts): Down 75 ms and a search letter 95 (50), the card with a photo 125 (50), Settings and the editor opening 235 and 350 (150), the accessory's window 2.0 s (500). The speed work goes on.
