Revision history for Cache

0.07 2000-03-27-08-55
 - released version 0.07
 - prepared for initial CPAN release
 - improved Cache::Cache documentation
 - removed last "use IPC::Shareable" 
 - added support in the Makefile.PL to conditionally build the
   SharedMemoryCache, which requires IPC::ShareLite, and thus runs only
   on certain architectures.  Also broke out the IPC related routines
   into the SharedCacheUtils package.
 - started version 0.07

0.06 2000-03-23-08-36
 - release version 0.06
 - added the get_identifiers method to the Cache interface, implemented
   the method for all classes, added a new test, and updated the test 
   scripts
 - added the size property to Object
 - added the _freeze and _thaw methods to the BaseCache class and
   modified all children classes to use them
 - revert to separate freeze and thaws on the memory based caches to
   ensure that cached data isn't modified at any time
 - major rewrite of the size aware cache logic
 - added the CacheMetaData class, which is used to efficiently keep track
   of a size aware cache state
 - refactored the instance specific limit_size routines into the
   generic Limit_Size method in CacheUtils
 - updated the size aware cache implementations to use the CacheMetaData
   and Limit_Size methods
 - improved the SizeAwareCacheTester and updated the test scripts
 - removed unnecessary clone call from the SharedMemoryCache and the
   SizeAwareSharedMemoryCache
 - added exclusive locking on the shared cache for operations that
   will both read and write to the cache
 - replaced the cache_hash_ref instance property in MemoryCache with
   a class property and updated the SharedMemoryCache and 
   SizeAwareSharedMemoryCache modules accordingly
 - started version 0.06

0.05 2000-03-20-10-25
 - released version 0.05
 - updated Storable dependency to 1.011
 - replaced the IPC::Shareable backend with IPC::ShareLite
 - started version 0.05

0.04 2000-03-17-10-43
 - released version 0.04
 - replaced Data::Dumper with Storable, which is now a requirement
 - implemented the SizeAwareMemoryCache and associated tests
 - implemented the SizeAwareSharedMemoryCache and associated tests
 - added the SizeAwareCache interface
 - moved max_size logic from the _store method to the set method
 - started version 0.04

0.03 2000-03-10-12-40
 - released version 0.03
 - made the FileCache more multi-user friendly by allowing a more
   permissive default directory umask, which can also be optionally 
   overridden
 - updated documentation and code style
 - completely rewrote and improved the limit_size method for a major
   performance gain
 - updated the syntax for expiration times to include the [number] [unit] 
   format, e.g. "10 seconds"
 - added the get_object method to the Cache interface, which allows
   access to the underlying cache object (without potentially expiring
   the object)
 - added the get_namespace and get_default_expires_in methods to the
   Cache interface definition
 - updated the MANIFEST
 - checked in preliminary cache benchmarking code
 - fixed bug fixed bug #406030 -- default_expires_in never invoked
 - refactored common code into BaseCache
 - use Static_Params method
 - fixed default_expires_in bug
 - added coding guidelines to STYLE
 - started version 0.03

0.02 2000-02-15-21-12
 - released version 0.02
 - added perldoc to SizeAwareFileCache
 - created SizeAwareFileCache
 - added the SizeAwareCacheTester module
 - refactored common test code into the AbstractCacheTester module
 - added the Recursively_List_Files_With_Paths routine to CacheUtils
 - marked the FileCache and MemoryCache as ISA Cache::Cache
 - updated the MANIFEST
 - started version 0.02

0.01 2001-02-13-16-16
