Performance Improvements and Social Feature Updates

Hey folks,

Today we're really excited to announce significant improvements to the ContactsManager.io SDK, making it easier and more reliable than ever.

Here are the highlights:

Updates

Threadsafe Batch Processing

• The SDK now supports processing of contacts in a threadsafe environment out of the box
• This enables us to support very large contact books and process them in a performant way
• This is a really big deal, because it means much fewer API calls, lower memory footprint, and the ability to support any size of contact books
