Release Notes

CacheFu is a collection of products which aggregate and simplify various caching settings, speeding up Plone sites using a combination of memory, proxy, and browser caching.  CacheFu can be used by itself or with Squid, Varnish, and/or Apache.  Configuration files can be generated for Squid, Varnish, Squid-behind-Apache, Varnish-behind-Apache, and Apache cache proxy (if you are using a non-caching Apache by itself or just Zope-only, no extra configuration files are needed).

Starting with version 1.2, the CacheFu products are now distributed as python eggs. The central product is Products.CacheSetup which when installed via easy_install or buildout takes care of pulling in the rest of the products from the bundle.

The full CacheFu bundle includes:

• http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Products.CacheSetup <-- Start Here
• http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Products.CMFSquidTool
• http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Products.PageCacheManager
• http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Products.PolicyHTTPCacheManager

The auto-generated proxy configs are now distributed separately in the CacheFu-Extras download:

• http://plone.org/products/cachefu/releases/1.2/CacheFu-1.2-extras.tar.gz

CacheFu has been tested with Plone 2.5+ and Plone 3.0. For earlier Plone versions, try the CacheFu 1.0.3 bundle instead.

New Features in CacheFu 1.2

• Products all eggified.
  
• Minor bug fix to Varnish proxy cache configs
  

New CacheFu Manual and Web Caching Reference

A new CacheFu Manual and a Web Caching Reference is nearing completion. Stay tuned for an announcement.
