Quick summary

Today I'm going to explain the KooModel class in Koo. This class allows developers to simply create new views that need to display or edit information stored in an OpenERP server. KooModel implements QAbstractItemModel and thus allows to easily use any view that uses Qt's model/view (Including QTreeView, QListView, QTableView and QColumnView). Where easy means changing one (or very few) lines of code to switch from one view to the other.

Koo performance improvements

Koo has gained performance through deferred loading of images, relational fields and view settings, along with fewer unnecessary server calls and faster navigation back to list views. On one very large product form, loading time fell from 10 seconds to 2, although the improvement depends on the data. The article invites the community to test the latest changes and report how they behave.
