[Steve Chu]

After two weeks testing, we are ready to ship 1.0.0-beta to the public
domain. 1.0.0 version has been entirely written based on memcached
1.2.x code base. Here's ChangLog:

    * Almost entire code is rewritten based on Memcached 1.2.x.
    * More memcache protocol compatibility, now multiple get and flags
are supported, also udp and unix socket is ready(not yet tested).
    * Big performance improved due to memcached 1.2.x code base.
Thread is used to resolve the blocked I/O.
    * Use standard build tool, "./configure;make;make install" and done.
    * Two new pravite command for replication to set/get priority. See
"doc/replication.txt".

The banchmark of Memcachedb-1.0.0-beta can be found in

====================================================================

What is Memcachedb?

Memcachedb is a distributed key-value storage system designed for
persistent. It is not a cache solution, but a persistent storage for
high-frequency writing and reading. It conforms to memcache
protocol(not completed, see below), so any memcached client can have
connectivity with it. Memcachedb uses Berkeley DB as a storing
backend, so lots of features including transaction and replication are
supported.
Memcachedb Features

    * High performance read/write for a key-value based object
    * High reliable persistent storage with transcation
    * High availability data storage with replication
    * Memcache protocol compatibility

Supported memcache command

    * get(also mutiple get)
    * set, add, replace
    * incr, decr
    * delete
    * stats

Private commands

    * db_checkpoint
    * db_archive
    * rep_ismaster
    * rep_whoismaster
    * rep_get_priority
    * rep_set_priority

Some Warning

Expire time has been discarded in memcachedb(we are for persistent:p),
so you should not use any corresponding features of clients. The
daemon does nothing while you give a expire time of item.

We Stand on the shoulders of giants, Memcachedb source code is based
on Memcached.
