Memcached 1.4.0 released!

We released memcached 1.4.0 earlier today! It is more than two years since we started the work on one of the most important part of this release, the binary protocol. I guess a lot of users doesn't really care about the binary protocol, but it makes the implementation of other features easier (the replication in libmemcached is only available if you use the binary protocol).

Other highlights in 1.4.0:

  • Performance improvements (removed lock contention)
  • Run without privileges on Solaris
  • More statistics information
