-Intelligent interning of all objects stored in cache. This results in a > 40% memory use reduction for repeatedly cached objects at a performance hit of roughly 0.2% - a good trade!
-Removed erroneous TODO.txt reference in Dache.CacheHost project
-Updated uninstall.bat output (it said it was installing when it was actually uninstalling)
-Updated TODO.txt with tasks that need to get done soon
-Removal of cache manager entirely as it was not necessary
-Simplification of solution as a whole; consolidation of assemblies
-More efficent tagging and bulk API operations
-Order of listed cache hosts in client config no longer matters
-Added install.bat and uninstall.bat for easy installation and uninstallation
-Initial release of Dache
-Includes cache manager, cache host, and client.
-Some Dache Board work completed: needs more work in future.
-Custom performance counters.
The Dache Client is a single DLL which you include in any application which you wish to be able to talk to Dache from. Add it as a reference and begin coding. There is an included XML file so that Intellisense will show you method and type information. An example configuration file is also included to show you how to configure your application.
NOTE: all clients should be configured with the same list of servers. The list of servers does not have to be in the same order, but each client's list should contain the same servers.
The host is the actual process that does the caching work. To install it, run install.bat or install it manually via .NET 4.0's installutil from a command prompt:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319>installutil "C:\Path\To\Dache.CacheHost.exe"
You will be offered custom installation settings at this time, including the ability to rename the service if you want to install multiple Dache hosts on a single server under unique names.
After installation, open the Dache.CacheHost.exe.config file and configure the appropriate settings. The configuration file is fully XML commented.
