Release Notes

(18th January 2005 - by Andres March)

New Features:

• Added HashDiskPersistenceListner CACHE-132 that hashes file names in order to eliminate nasty characters and overly long names
• Added property that allows cache entries to only be persisted when the memory capacity has been exceeded. The property is called: cache.persistence.overflow.only. It defaults to false for backwards compatibility meaning all cache entries are persisted when a listener has been registered. See CACHE-133
• Check If-Modified-Since header in cache filter to increase performance, see CACHE-58 and CACHE-70

Improvements:

• Updated jgroups jar regarding changed package name CACHE-85 , CACHE-126 and configuration based upon recommendations from Bela Ban (javagroups maintainer).
• More evenly distributed disk caching, see CACHE-94
• Public access for configuration properties, see CACHE-92
• Public method to clear cache, see CACHE-104 , CACHE-68
• Output the scope name's in toString() of ScopeEventListenerImpl, see CACHE-95
• Call get() method on put() method call, see CACHE-105
• Library updates
  • upgrade to Commons Logging 1.0.4, see CACHE-102
  • upgrade to Commons Collections 3.1, see CACHE-103
• Moved all docs to wiki
• Website documentation updates.

Bug Fixes:

• CACHE-73 - NullpointerException after deserialization of AbstractConcurrentReadCache
• CACHE-98 - Disk cache not getting served first time for long keys
• CACHE-107 - flushEntry does not behave correctly in cluster
• CACHE-118 - Updating groups doesn't work
• CACHE-119 - flush does not work correctly in a clustered environment
