Dalli Changelog

2.7.2

The fix for #423 didn't make it into the released 2.7.1 gem somehow.

2.7.1

Rack session will check if servers are up on initialization (arthurnn, #423)
Add support for IPv6 addresses in hex form, ie: "[::1]:11211" (dplummer, #428)
Add symbol support for namespace (jingkai #431)
Support expiration intervals longer than 30 days (leonid-shevtsov #436)

2.7.0

BREAKING CHANGE: Dalli::Client#add and #replace now return a truthy value, not boolean true or false.
Multithreading support with dalli_store: Use :pool_size to create a pool of shared, threadsafe Dalli clients in Rails:

    config.cache_store = :dalli_store, "cache-1.example.com", "cache-2.example.com", :compress => true, :pool_size => 5, :expires_in => 300

This will ensure the Rails.cache singleton does not become a source of contention. PLEASE NOTE Rails's :mem_cache_store does not support pooling as of Rails 4.0. You must use :dalli_store.

Implement version for retrieving version of connected servers [dterei, #384]
Implement fetch_multi for batched read/write [sorentwo, #380]
Add more support for safe updates with multiple writers: [philipmw, #395] require 'dalli/cas/client' augments Dalli::Client with the following methods:
- Get value with CAS: [value, cas] = get_cas(key) get_cas(key) {|value, cas| ...}
- Get multiple values with CAS: get_multi_cas(k1, k2, ...) {|value, metadata| cas = metadata[:cas]}
- Set value with CAS: new_cas = set_cas(key, value, cas, ttl, options)
- Replace value with CAS: replace_cas(key, new_value, cas, ttl, options)
- Delete value with CAS: delete_cas(key, cas)
Fix bug with get key with "Not found" value [uzzz, #375]

2.6.4

Fix ADD command, aka write(unless_exist: true) (pitr, #365)
Upgrade test suite from mini_shoulda to minitest.
Even more performance improvements for get_multi (xaop, #331)

2.6.3

Support specific stats by passing :items or :slabs to stats method [bukhamseen]
Fix 'can't modify frozen String' errors in ActiveSupport::Cache::DalliStore [dblock]
Protect against objects with custom equality checking [theron17]
Warn if value for key is too large to store [locriani]

2.6.2

Properly handle missing RubyInline

2.6.1

Add optional native C binary search for ring, add:

gem 'RubyInline'

to your Gemfile to get a 10% speedup when using many servers. You will see no improvement if you are only using one server.

More get_multi performance optimization [xaop, #315]
Add lambda support for cache namespaces [joshwlewis, #311]

2.6.0

read_multi optimization, now checks local_cache [chendo, #306]

Add Dalli::GzipCompressor, primarily for compatibility with nginx's HttpMemcachedModule using memcached_gzip_flag

2.5.0

Don't escape non-ASCII keys, memcached binary protocol doesn't care. [#257]
:dalli_store now implements LocalCache [#236]
Removed lots of old session_store test code, tests now all run without a default memcached server [#275]
Changed Dalli ActiveSupport adapter to always attempt instrumentation [brianmario, #284]
Change write operations (add/set/replace) to return false when value is too large to store [brianmario, #283]
Allowing different compressors per client [naseem]

Increment and decrement with :initial => nil now return nil (lawrencepit, #112)

2.0.1

Fix nil option handling in dalli_store#write [#188]

2.0.0

Reimplemented the Rails' dalli_store to remove use of ActiveSupport::Cache::Entry which added 109 bytes overhead to every value stored, was a performance bottleneck and duplicated a lot of functionality already in Dalli. One benchmark went from 4.0 sec to 3.0 sec with the new dalli_store. [#173]
Added reset_stats operation [#155]
Added support for configuring keepalive on TCP connections to memcached servers (@bianster, #180)

Notes:

data stored with dalli_store 2.x is NOT backwards compatible with 1.x. Upgraders are advised to namespace their keys and roll out the 2.x upgrade slowly so keys do not clash and caches are warmed. config.cache_store = :dalli_store, :expires_in => 24.hours.to_i, :namespace => 'myapp2'
data stored with plain Dalli::Client API is unchanged.
removed support for dalli_store's race_condition_ttl option.
removed support for em-synchrony and unix socket connection options.
removed support for Ruby 1.8.6
removed memcache-client compability layer and upgrade documentation.

1.1.5

Coerce input to incr/decr to integer via #to_i [#165]
Convert test suite to minitest/spec (crigor, #166)
Fix encoding issue with keys [#162]
Fix double namespacing with Rails and dalli_store. [#160]

1.1.4

Use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost as default to avoid IPv6 issues
Extend DalliStore's :expires_in when :race_condition_ttl is also used.
Fix :expires_in option not propogating from DalliStore to Client, GH-136
Added support for native Rack session store. Until now, Dalli's session store has required Rails. Now you can use Dalli to store sessions for any Rack application.

require 'rack/session/dalli' use Rack::Session::Dalli, :memcache_server => 'localhost:11211', :compression => true

1.1.3

Support Rails's autoloading hack for loading sessions with objects whose classes have not be required yet, GH-129
Support Unix sockets for connectivity. Shows a 2x performance increase but keep in mind they only work on localhost. (dfens)

1.1.2

Fix incompatibility with latest Rack session API when destroying sessions, thanks @twinge!

1.1.1

v1.1.0 was a bad release. Yanked.

1.1.0

Remove support for Rails 2.3, add support for Rails 3.1
Fix socket failure retry logic, now you can restart memcached and Dalli won't complain!
Add support for fibered operation via em-synchrony (eliaslevy)
Gracefully handle write timeouts, GH-99
Only issue bug warning for unexpected StandardErrors, GH-102
Add travis-ci build support (ryanlecompte)
Gracefully handle errors in get_multi (michaelfairley)
Misc fixes from crash2burn, fphilipe, igreg, raggi

1.0.5

Fix socket failure retry logic, now you can restart memcached and Dalli won't complain!

1.0.4

Handle non-ASCII key content in dalli_store
Accept key array for read_multi in dalli_store
Fix multithreaded race condition in creation of mutex

1.0.3

Better handling of application marshalling errors
Work around jruby IO#sysread compatibility issue

1.0.2

Allow browser session cookies (blindsey)
Compatibility fixes (mwynholds)
Add backwards compatibility module for memcache-client, require 'dalli/memcache-client'. It makes Dalli more compatible with memcache-client and prints out a warning any time you do something that is no longer supported so you can fix your code.

1.0.1

Explicitly handle application marshalling bugs, GH-56
Add support for username/password as options, to allow multiple bucket access from the same Ruby process, GH-52
Add support for >1MB values with :value_max_bytes option, GH-54 (r-stu31)
Add support for default TTL, :expires_in, in Rails 2.3. (Steven Novotny) config.cache_store = :dalli_store, 'localhost:11211', {:expires_in => 4.hours}

1.0.0

Welcome gucki as a Dalli committer!

Fix network and namespace issues in get_multi (gucki)
Better handling of unmarshalling errors (mperham)

0.11.2

Major reworking of socket error and failover handling (gucki)
Add basic JRuby support (mperham)

0.11.1

Minor fixes, doc updates.
Add optional support for kgio sockets, gives a 10-15% performance boost.

0.11.0

Warning: this release changes how Dalli marshals data. I do not guarantee compatibility until 1.0 but I will increment the minor version every time a release breaks compatibility until 1.0.

IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED YOU FLUSH YOUR CACHE BEFORE UPGRADING.

multi() now works reentrantly.
Added new Dalli::Client option for default TTLs, :expires_in, defaults to 0 (aka forever).
Added new Dalli::Client option, :compression, to enable auto-compression of values.
Refactor how Dalli stores data on the server. Values are now tagged as "marshalled" or "compressed" so they can be automatically deserialized without the client having to know how they were stored.

0.10.1

Prefer server config from environment, fixes Heroku session store issues (thanks JoshMcKin)
Better handling of non-ASCII values (size -> bytesize)
Assert that keys are ASCII only

0.10.0

Warning: this release changed how Rails marshals data with Dalli. Unfortunately previous versions double marshalled values. It is possible that data stored with previous versions of Dalli will not work with this version.
