RHEA-2011:0794 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

An updated php-pecl-memcache package that fixes multiple bugs and adds one
enhancement is now available for Red Hat Enterprise 6.

Description

The php-pecl-memcache package enables PHP scripts to use the memcached caching
daemon.

The php-pecl-memcache package has been rebased to version 3.0.5 which fixes
multiple bugs and adds MemcachePool class support for the findServer() method.
(BZ#638887)

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, the "delete" methods failed for some memcached server versions due

to a protocol error. With this update, the "delete" method works as expected.
(BZ#638887)

• * Previously, integer, float, and boolean values with enabled compression

could not be retrieved successfully due to an issue with the compression flag.
With this update, stored values are retrieved successfully. (BZ#638892)

• Previously, the memcache module aborted with a segmentation fault on the

64-bit PowerPC platform. This update resolves this problem and memcache runs on
the 64-bit PowerPC architecture as expected. (BZ#672363)

• Previously, php-pecl-memcache contained extra characters after %{?dist}. This

update deletes these characters. (BZ#604559)

All php-pecl-memcache users are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which fixes these bugs and adds this enhancement.
