This replaces the list+queue system that the inara plugin originally used with a deque based one. The main differences here are that the list the worker thread uses to send to inara and the list that events are added to is the same, with the worker thread making a duplicate and clearing the original each time it sends events (losing events if it fails to upload three times). The format of the data has changed as well, from simple tuples to NamedTuple classes that provide some extra type safety and sanity when accessing fields. The event queue itself is actually multiple queues, one per API/FID/CMDR_name triplicate, thus allowing multiple commander switches while we're running without causing any weird issues

Elite: Dangerous Market Connector (EDMC)
This application is only of use to PC players of the game Elite Dangerous (and its expansions). It won't work with PS4 or Xbox accounts.
It utilises the Journal files written by the game on the user's computer, together with data from the API Frontier Developments supplies in order to feed this data to various third party sites that the user may find useful.
See the Wiki documentation for more details.
