core.cache v0.6.1 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) - Soft-Reference cache (SoftCache) - Naive cache (BasicCache) * Implementation of an efficient buffer replacement policy based on the *low inter-reference recency set* algorithm (LIRSCache) described in the [LIRS](http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.116.2184) paper * Factory functions for each existing cache type Absorb ------ You can use core.cache in your [Leiningen](https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen) and [Cake](https://github.com/flatland/cake) projects with the following `:dependencies` directive in your `project.clj` file: [org.clojure/core.cache "0.6.1"] For Maven-driven projects, use the following slice of XML in your `pom.xml`'s `<dependencies>` section: <dependency> <groupId>org.clojure</groupId> <artifactId>core.cache</artifactId> <version>0.6.1</version> </dependency> Enjoy! Places ------ * [Source code](https://github.com/clojure/core.cache) * [Ticket system](http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CCACHE) * [Announcement](http://groups.google.com/group/clojure/browse_frm/thread/69d08572ab265dc7) * [API Reference](https://clojure.github.com/core.cache) * [Examples and documentation](https://github.com/clojure/core.cache/wiki) (work in progress) Changes from v0.5.0 ------------------- The v0.6.1 version of core.cache contains the following changes: * The addition of a cache built on Java soft references * Bug fix for LRU and LU caches disabling the eviction of duplicate keys prior to threshold. * The factory function optional argument named `:limit` was changed to `:threshold`. * The default thresholds set by the factory functions were adjusted. Plans ----- The following capabilities are under design, development, or consideration for future versions of core.cache: * Make ClojureScript compatible * Asynchronous caching protocol * FunCache implementation * `LIRSCache evict` * Hardening of the `seed` function implementations * test.generative usage * Deprecation of Clache * More documentation and examples More planning is needed around capabilities not listed nor thought of. Thanks ------ I would like to thank Paul Stadig for his work in fixing the `SoftCache` implementation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
