core.cache v0.5.0 Release Notes =============================== core.cache is a new Clojure contrib library providing the following features:
* An underlying `CacheProtocol` used as the base abstraction for implementing new synchronous caches * A `defcache` macro for hooking your `CacheProtocol` implementations into the Clojure associative data capabilities. * Immutable implementations of some basic caching strategies - First-in-first-out (FIFOCache) - Least-recently-used (LRUCache) - Least-used (LUCache) - Time-to-live (TTLCache) - Naive cache (BasicCache) * Implementation of an efficient buffer replacement policy based on the *low inter-reference recency set* algorithm (LIRSCache) * Factory functions for each existing cache type core.cache is based on a library named Clache, found at http://github.com/fogus/clache that is planned for deprecation. Places ------ * [Source code](https://github.com/clojure/core.cache) * [Ticket system](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CCACHE) * Examples and documentation -- in progress Changes from Clache ------------------- The v0.5.0 version of core.cache is based almost wholly on the final version of Clache, with the following changes: * An addition of an `evict` function on the `CacheProtocol` used to explicitly remove a value from a cache based on a key. All of the existing cache types implement this function *except* for `LIRSCache`. * The addition of cache factory functions for all of the existing cache types * The associative structure behaviors are defined solely in terms of the underlying `CacheProtocol` * The `SoftCache` implementation was buggy and removed for now Plans ----- The following capabilities are under design, development, or consideration for future versions of core.cache: * Asynchronous caching protocol * `LIRSCache evict` * Removal of the `seed` function from the `CacheProtocol` * Reimplementation of a cache based on soft references * test.generative usage * Deprecation of Clache * Documentation and examples More planning is needed around capabilities not listed nor thought of. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
