Changes for version 0.99 - 2001-12-09

  • released version 0.99
  • major refactoring of code
  • replaced non-standard usage of SUCCESS and FAILURE with Error.pm
  • replaced non-standard usage of TRUE and FALSE with 1 and 0
  • migrated from the term "identifier" to the more standard term "key" and marked the old public methods with identifier as deprecated
  • broke out the MemoryBackend, FileBackend, SharedMemoryBackend into distinct and reusable classes
  • fixed a long outstanding bug in the unit tests that made working caches appear to fail
  • changed the meaning of object and cache size for file system based caches to consistently reflect the total size of the objects on disk, but not including the directory overhead
  • changed format of persisted data in the FileBackend
  • major rewrite of documentatoin
