RHEA-2011:0794 - php-pecl-memcache bug fix and enhancement update

Synopsis

php-pecl-memcache bug fix and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Product Enhancement Advisory (none)

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.
