Updates
Batch Publisher
the batch publisher splits up all of the tasks usually involved in push and pulling content into batch operations, so multiple calls can be made to sync large amounts of content.
for example on the default real-time publisher, the restore media operation would be one request, if you are attempting to sync large amounts of media this could result in a long operation time, and potentially memory issues as the stream of files is collated and zipped up on the server.
the batch publisher splits this into batches of 50 (configurable) items, so multiple requests are performed and the execution times are reduced (avoiding timeout issues) and memory stress is also less.
Dependency caching
Before pushing or pulling between sites, dependencies are calculated this can be a timely process, which doesn't actually change unless items are saved and updated - the dependency cache moves the calculation to the save process of items, which means the calculation happens once per item. It also results in a significantly smaller calculating phase. making syncs much faster.
