New release 0.0.4:    \* [http://www.deveiate.org/projects/RMemCache/](http://www.deveiate.org/projects/RMemCache/) This is a client library for memcached ([http://www.danga.com/memcached/](http://www.danga.com/memcached/)), a high-performance distributed memory cache. MemCache is used to alleviate database load by caching oft-used values in network-accessable memory space, and is used behind several high-traffic dynamic web sites like LiveJournal, Slashdot, WikiPedia, and others. Changes in this version: \* Dramatic speed improvements, especially for large data values. \* Bugfixes for compression, urlencoding \* Improved logging Thanks to Ron Mayer for his extensive help with this release. - -- Michael Granger \<[ged@FaerieMUD.org](mailto:ged@FaerieMUD.org)\> Rubymage, Believer, Architect The FaerieMUD Consortium \<[http://www.FaerieMUD.org/](http://www.FaerieMUD.org/)\> ruby -e "p 12383406064495388618631689469409153107.to\_s(36).tr('z',' ')"
