Release notes

The DrupalCon Austin Release

Memcache 7.x-1.1 has been over two years in the making. There’s been a huge number of bug fixes and improvements made in that time (scroll down for the full list). If you’re relying on Memcache in production, this is an important upgrade. As with all production upgrades, however; please, test carefully first!

We have done comprehensive load testing to ensure there have been no performance regressions. In fact, our tests show a 1-5% performance improvement when upgrading from 7.x-1.0 to 7.x-1.1. This improvement is mainly due to up to a 10% reduction in the amount of data transferred from memcache when loading a standard Drupal webpage.

The loadtests we used to generate the above numbers are now freely available at https://github.com/tag1consulting/drupal-loadtest. They assist in pre-populating a site with data, and then running a jMeter loadtest suite against the test website. While the tests aren’t comprehensive and only focus on common core functionality, they provide fantastic insight and detail into the performance differences between releases.

What’s changed since 7.x-1.0

Overview
Bugs affecting performance and the flushing of caches have been fixed. Better insight into memcache performance is offered through the much improved memcache_admin module. The steps for installation and configuration are far better documented in the heavily rewritten README.txt file. Common mistakes will trigger helpful errors and warnings to further assist with installation and configuration. And much more!
