44 longer in the pipe.
45 * Fixed bug where key could be out of range of characters
46 * Added _by_key() methods to allow partitioning of values to particular
47 servers.

50
51 0.11 Mon Nov 26 01:05:52 PST 2007
52 * Added option to memcache_behavior_set() so that poll() can be timed out.
53 * Fixed memory leak in case of using memcached_fetch_result() where no
54 value was returned.
55 * Bug fixed in memcached_connect() which would cause servers that
56 did not need to be enabled to be enabled (performance issue).
57 * Rewrote bounds checking code for get calls.
58 * "make test" now starts its own memcached servers.
59 * Added Hseih hash (MEMCACHED_HASH_HSIEH), which is showing about 7%
60 performance over standard hash.

62 0.10 Tue Nov 20 23:22:31 PST 2007
63 * Added append binary test.
64 * Added MEMCACHED_BEHAVIOR_CACHE_LOOKUPS behavior so that you can save on
65 multiple DNS lookups.

71 * Fixed bug where hostname might not be null terminated
72 * Moved to using gethostbyname_r() on Linux to solve thread safety issue
