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

This is a personal weblog, I do not speak for my employer.
Thanks! Been waiting for the binary protocol support to be released for some time now. Does this release also include the replica support? We built a wrapper around libmemcached to do replicas but were hoping Brian Aker would release his work on replication at some point. From one of your blog post late june seems like you have something working (atleast for sets). Would be interested to hear more about that feature.

Doh! I guess I confused memcached and libmemcached releases in my above comment. I guess my question would be more correct if I asked "does libmemcached 0.31 that includes the BINARY PROTOCOL support also include the replication support?"
Thanks

Hi, Sorry for a late reply (didn't see the question earlier). libmemcached 0.33 is released and contains support for the binary protocol and replication.
