111          uint8_t types.
112

114          their own individual header files.  Add apropriate const and
115          static declarations as appropriate.

129
1302007-03-05
131        * Steven Grimm <sgrimm@facebook.com>: Per-object-type stats collection
132          support. Specify the object type delimiter with the -D command line
133          option. Turn stats gathering on and off with "stats detail on" and
134          "stats detail off". Dump the per-object-type details with
135          "stats detail dump".
136
1372007-03-01
138        * Steven Grimm <sgrimm@facebook.com>: Fix an off-by-one error in the
139          multithreaded version's message passing code.
140
1412006-12-23
142        * fix expirations of items set with absolute expiration times in
143          the past, before the server's start time.  bug was introduced in
144          1.2.0 with rel_time_t.  Thanks to Adam Dixon
145          <adamtdixon@gmail.com> for the bug report and test case!
146
1472006-11-26
148        * Steven Grimm <sgrimm@facebook.com>: Performance improvements:
149         
150          Dynamic sizing of hashtable to reduce collisions on very large
151          caches and conserve memory on small caches.
152
153          Only reposition items in the LRU queue once a minute, to reduce
154          overhead of accessing extremely frequently-used items.
155
156          Stop listening for new connections until an existing one closes
157          if we run out of available file descriptors.
158
159          Command parser refactoring: Add a single-pass tokenizer to cut
160          down on string scanning.  Split the command processing into
161          separate functions for easier profiling and better readability.
162          Pass key lengths along with the keys in all API functions that
163          need keys, to avoid needing to call strlen() repeatedly.
164
1652006-11-25
166        * Steve Peters <steve@fisharerojo.org>: OpenBSD has a malloc.h,
167        but warns to use stdlib.h instead
168
1692006-11-22
170        * Steven Grimm <sgrimm@facebook.com>: Add support for multithreaded
171          execution. Run configure with "--enable-threads" to enable. See
172          doc/threads.txt for details.
173
1742006-11-13
175        * Iain Wade <iwade@optusnet.com.au>: Fix for UDP responses on non-"get"
176         commands.
177
1782006-10-15
179        * Steven Grimm <sgrimm@facebook.com>: Dynamic sizing of hashtable to
180          reduce collisions on very large caches and conserve memory on
181          small caches.
182
1832006-10-13
184        * Steven Grimm <sgrimm@facebook.com>: New faster hash function.
185
1862006-09-20
187
188        * don't listen on UDP by default; more clear message when UDP port in use
189
1902006-09-09
191        * release 1.2.0 (along with 1.1.13, which is the more tested branch)
192
193        nobody has run 1.2.0 in production, to my knowledge.  facebook has run
194        their pre-merge-with-trunk version, but bugs were discovered (and fixed)
195        after the merge.  there might be more.  you've been warned.  :)
196
1972006-09-04
198        * improved autoconf libevent detection, from the Tor project.
199
2002006-09-03
201        * test suite and lot of expiration, delete, flush_all, etc corner
202          case bugs fixed (Brad Fitzpatrick)
203
2042006-09-02
205        * Nathan Neulinger <nneul@umr.edu>: fix breakage in expiration code
206          causing expiration times to not be processed correctly.
207
2082006-08-21
209        * Nathan Neulinger <nneul@umr.edu>: fix incompatabilities with
210          unix domain socket support and the UDP code and clean up stale
211          sockets
212
2132006-08-20
214        * Nathan Neulinger <nneul@umr.edu>: unix domain socket support
215
2162006-05-03
217        * Steven Grimm <sgrimm@facebook.com>:  big bunch of changes:
218          big CPU reduction work, UDP-based interface, increased memory
219          efficiency.  (intertwined patch, committed all together)
220          <http://lists.danga.com/pipermail/memcached/2006-May/002164.html>
221          or see svn commit logs
222
2232006-04-30
224        * River Tarnell:  autoconf work for Solaris 10.  Brad:
225        merge and verify it works on Nexenta.
226
2272006-03-04
228        * avva: bucket/generation patch (old, but Brad's just finally
229        committing it)
230
2312006-01-01
232        * Brad Fitzpatrick <brad@danga.com>:  allocate 1 slab per class
233        on start-up, to avoid confusing users with out-of-memory errors
234        later.  this is 18 MB of allocation on start, unless max memory
235        allowed with -m is lower, in which case only the smaller slab
236        classes are allocated.
237
2382005-08-09
239        * Elizabeth Mattijsen <liz@dijkmat.nl>: needed a way to flush all
240        memcached backend servers, but not at exactly the same time (to
241        reduce load peaks), I've added some simple functionality to the
242        memcached protocol in the "flush_all" command that allows you to
243        specify a time at which the flush will actually occur (instead of
244        always at the moment the "flush_all" command is received).
245
2462005-05-25
247        * patch from Peter van Dijk <peter@nextgear.nl> to make
248          stderr unbuffered, for running under daemontools
249
2502005-04-04
251        * patch from Don MacAskill <don@smugmug.com> 'flush_all' doesn't
252        seem to work properly.  Basically, if you try to add a key which
253        is present, but expired, the store fails but the old key is no
254        longer expired.
255
256        * release 1.1.12
257
2582005-01-14
259        * Date: Thu, 18 Nov 2004 15:25:59 -0600
260          From: David Phillips <electrum@gmail.com>
261        Here is a patch to configure.ac and Makefile.am to put the man page in
262        the correct location.  Trying to install the man page from a
263        subdirectory results in the subdirectory being used in the install
264        path (it tries to install to doc/memcached.1).  This is the correct
265        thing to  do:
266
267        - create a Makefile.am in the doc directory that installs the man page
268          with man_MANS
269        - modify Makefile.am in the base directory to reference the doc
270          directory using SUBDIRS
271        - modify the AC_CONFIG_FILES macro in configure.ac to output the
272          Makefile in doc
273
274       
2752005-01-14
276        * pidfile saving support from Lisa Seelye <lisa@gentoo.org>, sent
277          Jan 13, 2005
278
2792005-01-14
280        * don't delete libevent events that haven't been added (the deltimer)
281          patch from Ted Schundler <tschundler@gmail.com>
282
2832004-12-10
284        * document -M and -r in manpage (Doug Porter <dsp@dsp.name>)
285
2862004-07-22
287        * fix buffer overflow in items.c with 250 byte keys along with
288          other info on the same line going into a 256 byte char[].
289          thanks to Andrei Nigmatulin <anight@monamour.ru>
290       
2912004-06-15
292        * immediate deletes weren't being unlinked a few seconds,
293          preventing "add" commands to the same key in that time period.
294          thanks to Michael Alan Dorman <mdorman@debian.org> for the
295          bug report and demo script.
296       
2972004-04-30
298        * released 1.1.11
299
3002004-04-24
301        * Avva: Add a new command line option: -r , to maximize core file
302        limit.
303
3042004-03-31
305        * Avva: Use getrlimit and setrlimit to set limits for number of
306        simultaneously open file descriptors. Get the current limits and
307        try to raise them if they're not enough for the specified (or the
308        default) setting of max connections.
309       
3102004-02-24
311        * Adds a '-M' flag to turn off tossing items from the cache.
312          (Jason Titus <jtitus@postini.com>)
313
3142004-02-19 (Evan)
315        * Install manpage on "make install", etc.
316
3172003-12-30 (Brad)
318        * remove static build stuff.  interferes with PAM setuid stuff
319          and was only included as a possible fix with the old memory
320          allocator.  really shouldn't make a difference.
321        * add Jay Bonci's Debian scripts and manpage
322        * release version 1.1.10
323
3242003-12-01 (Avva)
325        * New command: flush_all, causes all existing items to
326          be invalidated immediately (without deleting them from
327          memory, merely causing memcached to no longer return them).
3282003-10-23
329        * Shift init code around to fix daemon mode on FreeBSD,
330        * and drop root only after creating the server socket (to
331        * allow the use of privileged ports)
332        * version 1.1.10pre
333
3342003-10-09
335        * BSD compile fixes from Ryan T. Dean
336        * version 1.1.9
337       
3382003-09-29
339        * ignore SIGPIPE at start instead of crashing in rare cases it
340          comes up.  no other code had to be modified, since everything
341          else is already dead-connection-aware.  (avva)
342       
3432003-09-09 (Avva, Lisa Marie Seelye <lisa@gentoo.org>)
344        * setuid support
345       
3462003-09-05 (Avva)
347        * accept all new connections in the same event (so we work with ET epoll)
348        * mark all items as clsid=0 after slab page reassignment to please future
349          asserts (on the road to making slab page reassignment work fully)
350
3512003-08-12 (Brad Fitzpatrick)
352        * use TCP_CORK on Linux or TCP_PUSH on BSD
353        * only use TCP_NODELAY when we don't have alternatives
354       
3552003-08-10
356        * disable Nagel's Algorithm (TCP_NODELAY) for better performance (avva)
357
3582003-08-10
359        * support multiple levels of verbosity (-vv)
360
3612003-08-10  (Evan Martin)
362        * Makefile.am: debug, optimization, and static flags are controlled
363          by the configure script.
364        * configure.ac:
365          - allow specifying libevent directory with --with-libevent=DIR
366          - check for malloc.h (unavailable on BSDs)
367          - check for socklen_t (unavailable on OSX)
368        * assoc.c, items.c, slabs.c:  Remove some unused headers.
369        * memcached.c:  allow for nonexistence of malloc.h; #define a POSIX
370          macro to import mlockall flags.
371
3722003-07-29
373        * version 1.1.7
374        * big bug fix: item exptime 0 meant expire immediately, not never
375        * version 1.1.8
376
3772003-07-22
378        * make 'delete' take second arg, of time to refuse new add/replace
379        * set/add/replace/delete can all take abs or delta time (delta can't
380          be larger than a month)
381
3822003-07-21
383        * added doc/protocol.txt
384
