You can also find blog posts by other memcached developers floating around on the internet. This 1.4 release is quite special for me too since the binary protocol is something I’ve been eager to see out in the open for sometime now. I remember printing out the early binary protocol specification (the draft that was made before I joined the community) and reading it on the flight to SFO back in 2007.

Much has happened since then with many input from both developers and non-developers. Several commercial organizations from small to large has helped us evaluate the old experimental branch(es) that we’ve been working on at github. The 1.4 release is a result of community effort that I’m really proud to be part of.

I recommend all of you to update to 1.4 and also take a look at the latest version of your client library. See if it supports the binary protocol. If it doesn’t, you should bug the author about it ;)

Which reminds me, I need to ping Dormando and Hachi about the binary protocol patch that I wrote for Cache::Memcached last year…
