New changelog entries:
* New upstream release, primarily bugfixes, some of them critical, hence
the urgency:
- Reject keys larger than 250 bytes in the binary protocol.
- Bounds checking on stats cachedump.
- Binary protocol set+cas wasn't returning a new cas ID.
- Binary quitq didn't actually close the connection
- Slab boundary checking cleanup (bad logic in unreachable code)
- Get hit memory optimizations
- Disallow -t options that cause the server to not work
- Killed off incomplete slab rebalance feature.
* debian/patches:
- 01_init_script_compliant_with_LSB.patch: Remade as upstream applied a
whitespace cleanup script that broke the patch.
- 02_manpage_additions.patch: Added missing parameters to the memcached
manpage.
* Removed TODO from debian/docs.
New changelog entries:
* New upstream release (closes: #545883):
- Finally addressed CVE-2009-2415: heap-based buffer overflow in length
processing (closes: #540379).
- Boundary condition during pipelined decoding caused crash.
- Bad initialization during buffer realloc.
- Buffer overrun in stats_prefix_find.
- Other fixes and cleanups.
* Changed the default start to yes in /etc/init.d/memcached as well.
* debian/watch updated with new format and URL in code.google.com. Thanks,
Monty Taylor.
* Added get-orig-source target, thanks to Monty Taylor.
* debian/control:
- Upgraded Standards-Version to 3.8.3 (no changes).
- Added Suggests: libmemcached.
- Bumped debhelper dependency and debian/compat to 6.
- Added Depends on quilt 0.46-7 in order to use dh_quilt_* helpers.
* debian/rules: Added dh_quilt_* helpers.
* Added direct patches to source as quilt patches.
* debian/README.source: Created such file to shut up lintian pedantic.
New changelog entries:
* New upstream release (closes: #484301, #537239):
- New binary protocol, supporting CAS (compare-and-swap).
- Non-threaded version is no longer possible, you just choose to run 1
thread to have similar behaviour.
- Lots of performance bottlenecks fixed (connection starvation,
contention, disabling of CAS, locks for hash table expansion...).
- Lots of new stats. Main change is that stats now are per-slab where
possible.
- Code cleanup, lots of bugs fixed, added tests, enhanced documentation.
New changelog entries:
* After some thinking, probably making memcached starting by default is the
right thing to do (closes: #536524).
* Added status support to init.d script (closes: #528689). Thanks, Peter!
* debian/control: Added dependency on lsb-base (>= 3.2-13).
New changelog entries:
* New upstream release, urgency=high because of two critical bugs prior
to this release:
- In 1.2.7 under multithreaded mode, memcached would never restart
accepting connections after hitting the maximum connection limit.
- Remove 'stats maps' command, as it is a potential information leak,
usable if versions prior to 1.2.8 ever have buffer overflows discovered
(CVE-2009-1494). Closes: #526554.
- Make -b command (setting the TCP listen backlog) actually work.
* debian/rules: Removed obsolete --disable-static.
* New upstream release, released on 4/3/2009.
- New statistics.
- Added -R option. Limit the number of requests processed by a connection
at once. Prevents starving other threads if bulk loading.
- Added -b command for setting the tcp listen backlog.
- Many minor bugfixes.
* New upstream release (closes: #505037). Released on 29/7/2008.
- Major crash fixes.
- DTrace support.
- Minor updates.
* debian/memcached.postrm: Now /var/log/memcached.log is removed on purge.
Thanks, jidanni! (closes: #447288).
New changelog entries:
* New upstream release, released on 3/2/2008:
- Minor bugfixes.
- Added support for Opensolaris.
- IPv6 support.
- "noreply" mode for many commands.
- Made "out of memory· errors more clear.
- Added eviction/OOM tracking per slab class.
New changelog entries:
* New upstream release (closes: #454699). Released on 6/12/2007:
- Many bug and platform fixes since 1.2.2.
- New threading support for stat queries.
- New commands 'append', 'prepend', 'gets', and 'cas'.
- Updates to the manpage (closes: #441067).
- Now memcached has a flag -a to restrict the socket to a group (closes:
#446606).
* debian/rules: Added memcached-tool to the set of installed scripts.
Thanks, Cyril! (closes: #512400).
New changelog entries:
* Take over memcached package.
* New upstream release. Mostly a documentation and warning fixing release.
This one was released on 6/7/2007.
* Added an /etc/default/memcached, thanks to Mark Ferlatte (closes:
#467356).
* debian/rules: Added --enable-threads to configure. It's amazing how this
could be missing from mainstream packages in Debian.
* debian/control:
- Put myself as Maintainer.
- Added Homepage field.
- Bumped Standards-Version to 3.8.0.
- Added ${misc:Depends} to Depends line.
* debian/copyright: Added a lot of information.
* debian/memcached.post[inst,rm]: Added set -e in order to catch errors.
