`pylibmc` is a Python client for `memcached <http://memcached.org/>`_ written in C.

See `the documentation at sendapatch.se/projects/pylibmc/`__ for more information.

New in version 1.8.0
====================

pylibmc now checks every key itself (a key with whitespace or control characters
raises ``ValueError`` on the text protocol instead of corrupting the connection),
accepts a ``master_key=`` keyword on the data methods, returns booleans as
booleans, compresses ``cas`` values like ``set``, and the Linux wheels now log in
with SASL. Python 3.11 or later is required. The change log lists what can break
existing code.

See the `change log`__ for the details.

New in version 1.7.0
====================

After a hiatus, we are back. A big welcome to @mxamin as a collaborator,
hopefully this will prevent further hiata down the line. Also, LLMs have
slashed the time investment to near zero, hoo-rah. The biggest change is that we
now build against libmemcached 1.1.4 for the wheels. Also the LLM found many
memory safety problems, and likely many yet more to come.

New in version 1.6.0
====================

Though no major feature overhauls have taken place, this release is partially
incompatible with 1.5.0. This stems from the fact that python-memcached is now
using a flag that pylibmc has been using for some years. python-memcached uses
it for a different purpose, and an incompatible one. We deemed that it would be
better to support this interoperability. The change also means that Unicode
strings are now stored as UTF-8 rather than pickled, which may or may not
result in a slight performance improvement for this type of data.

We have also introduced a `pickle_protocol` behavior to enable seamless
interoperability between Python 2.x and 3.x. Also, this release introduces a
ManyLinux wheel, making installation a breeze on ManyLinux systems (which I
suppose is many linuxes.)
