Once again I have the need to
announce a quick bugfix release.
List member Xing reported that under heavy load his server appeared
to be leaking connections when using the persistent interface to php
mcache. It turned out that when creating a
persistent object I had a slight bug in the generation of the internally unique
identifier for the object such that even if the php code passed the same unique
id, it would not always end up generating the same internal id, and as such you
could end up creating new persistent connections when one that matched your
request already existed.
I have updated the website http://www.klir.com/~johnm/php-mcache/
with version 1.1.2 which fixes this bug. Anyone who is using the extension
along with persistent connections is urged to update. There is no impact
to those who are using standard non persistent connections.
John
