Release of the in-memory data caching system , operating on data in key/value format and distinguished by its ease of use. Memcached is commonly used as a lightweight solution to accelerate high-load websites by caching access to databases and intermediate data. Code under the BSD license.
The new release is notable for TLS support to establish an encrypted communication channel with Memcached. Separate configuration for accepting connections with and without TLS is possible, for example, to bind encrypted access to an external network interface while allowing unencrypted connections via the loopback interface. The TLS implementation is prepared by Netflix and is currently positioned as experimental, requiring OpenSSL 1.1.0 for compilation (older versions are not supported for security reasons and due to performance issues in multi-threaded applications). Client libraries for accessing Memcached using TLS are not yet available (standard libraries can be used with a proxy).
