New in version 1.0

  • Lots of documentation fixes and other nice things like that.
  • Nailed what appears to be the last outstanding memory leak.
  • Explicitly require libmemcached 0.32 or newer.

New in version 0.9

  • Added exceptions for most libmemcached return codes.
  • Fixed an issue with Client.behaviors.update.

New in version 0.8

  • Pooling helpers are now available. See pooling.rst in the distribution.
  • The binary protocol is now properly exposed, simply pass binary=True to the constructor and there you go.
  • Call signatures now match libmemcached 0.32, but should work with older versions. Remember to run the tests!

New in version 0.7

  • Fixed some memory leaks.
  • Integrated changes from amix.dk, which should make pylibmc work under Snow Leopard.
  • Add support for the boolean datatype.
  • Improved test-runner -- now tests build/lib.*/_pylibmc.so if available, and reports some version information.

  • Also made the code tighter in terms of compiler pedantics.

New in version 0.4

  • Renamed the C module to _pylibmc, and added lots of libmemcached constants to it, as well as implemented behaviors.
