Continued Focus on Performance

Stability and performance of NuGet queries continue to be a hot topic that we are focusing on. With this release, you should start to see very quick search operations in the NuGet UI and website.

GitHub presence overhaul

We've made some changes to our source code repositories on GitHub.
