0.5.1

0.5.1

Released: Thu Oct 10 2013

• [feature] The CacheRegion.invalidate() method now supports an option
  hard=True|False. A "hard" invalidation, equivalent to the
  existing functionality of CacheRegion.invalidate(), means
  CacheRegion.get_or_create() will not return the "old" value at
  all, forcing all getters to regenerate or wait for a regeneration.
  "soft" invalidation means that getters can continue to return the
  old value until a new one is generated.

• [feature] New dogpile-specific exception classes have been added, so that
  issues like "region already configured", "region unconfigured",
  raise dogpile-specific exceptions. Other exception classes have
  been made more specific. Also added new accessor
  CacheRegion.is_configured. Pullreq courtesy Morgan Fainberg.

• [bug] Erroneously missed when the same change was made for set()
  in 0.5.0, the Redis backend now uses pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL
  for the set_multi() method as well when producing pickles.

• [bug] The util.coerce_string_conf() method now correctly coerces
  negative integers and those with a leading + sign. This previously
  prevented configuring a CacheRegion with an expiration_time
  of '-1'. Courtesy David Beitey.

• [bug] The refresh() method on CacheRegion.cache_multi_on_arguments()
  now supports the asdict flag.
