If you update from beta4 or earlier, clean up filecache directory. Beta5 creates directory for each cache bin instead of placing all files in the filecache directory.
This bugfix-only release resolves all major bugs reported since beta1 one year ago. Bugs with clearing the cache are not resolved yet because it's a more complex task.
* Cache clearing follows the rules of includes/cache.inc.
* Cache files can contain multiple cache entries that share same MD5 of their cid:s. This way it's certain that cache entries will not be lost by accident and sessions can be safely stored in cache.
* New .meta files that correspond to cache files and contain cid and expire. These files allow multiple cache entries in a cache file to be faster on cache_set and clearing cache to be faster too.
Pre-alpha version of File Cache. If running under Apache, it will automatically create protected filecache directory. No garbage collection yet but it's usable. See #1076552: Taking over maintainership of filecache module for what features 1.0 will have.
