Features

  • Replace internal implementation from an array of items to hash table.
    algorithmic complexity for lookups is switched from O(N) to O(1).

    The hash table is very similar to :class:dict from CPython but it allows keys duplication.

    The benchmark shows 25-50% boost for single lookups, x2-x3 for bulk updates, and x20 for
    some multidict view operations. The gain is not for free:
    :class:~multidict.MultiDict.add and :class:~multidict.MultiDict.extend are 25-50%
    slower now. We consider it as acceptable because the lookup is much more common
    operation that addition for the library domain.

Contributor-facing changes

  • Builds have been added for arm64 Windows
    wheels and the reusable-build-wheel.yml
    template has been modified to allow for
    an os value (windows-11-arm) which
    does not end with the -latest postfix.
