Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
This is a hotfix to the 8.x-2.4 branch, which attempted to resolve the REQUEST_TIME using the time service. Unfortunately in certain situations, custom implementations of the memcache container in settings.php will try to access this service within the bootstrap container, which doesn't have the time service.
In 8.x-2.5, we re-implement the time service (which is basically 1 line of code) within our own service as a private method.
This is a pre-release for the 2.2 version of Memcache.
The two biggest features / bug fixes is adding support for cache tags invalidation and getting data writes chunked when they're over 1M. Due to the various configurations sites may have, this pre-release exists to test those features together before a full release is made.
This release contains a number of important bug fixes, and some new features.
Do not use this release if you are using a version of PHP older than PHP 7! Due to an unintended dependency on PHP 7, you must instead upgrade to 7.x-1.8 where this has been fixed.
If you are upgrading from a dev or beta release, you should first read the release notes for memcache-8.x-2.0-rc1 and ensure that your $settings and services are correct before deploying to a live environment.
This updated release candidate includes bugfixes for the memcache_admin module. If you have not yet upgraded to 8.x-2.0-rc1, read the release notes before upgrading to this release.
This release candidate should be fully stable, however please test and report any bugs in the issue tracker.
Installation
Installing and enabling the module will not switch caching to use memcache automatically, you must also configure things in settings.php, see the README for installation instructions.

We're hard at work to roll a truly stable release of the Memcache module. With this first -beta, the module is ready for prime-time testing! Please give it a try and report back any bugs you run into! At this point the module should be fully functional.
Special thanks to Acquia for their funding to help get this module over the finish line! Find the roadmap for the upcoming stable release here:
The following important issues have been backported from the 7.x-1.x branch of the Memcache module. Please test in your development / QA / staging environments and provide feedback.
The It's Time For Another Backport Release Candidate
The following important issues have been backported from the 7.x-1.x branch of the Memcache module. Please test in your development / QA / staging environments and provide feedback. It is recommended that you wait for the final release before deploying this in a production environment.
It's been two years since the last Drupal Memcache module release! Perhaps it's no coincidence that I also have a nearly two-year-old daughter. Excuses aside, there's a ton of important changes in this release, from optimizations and bug fixes to new features.
Help us test 7.x-1.6-rc3 to make sure there are no regressions compared to 7.x-1.5. Lots of bug fixes and useful new features were included in this release. The README is fully updated, documenting all new features that require configuration.
Always carefully test the update process and new release first in a development and/or staging environment before updating your production environment!
Help us test 7.x-1.6-rc2 to make sure there are no regressions compared to 7.x-1.5. Lots of bug fixes and useful new features were included in this release. The README is fully updated, documenting all new features that require configuration.

A bug in 7.x-1.4 can result in a white-screen error when the Drupal memcache module splits oversized objects into multiple pieces. This release is primarily focused on fixing that potential error. If you're using 7.x-1.4 or earlier, it is highly recommended you upgrade to this new release.

It's 2015, when did you last update the Drupal memcache module? Now's a good time to update your site to the latest and greatest release: 7.x-1.4. This release is recommended for everyone using the Drupal memcache module as it includes many significant bug fixes and enhancements.

We're narrowing in on a final 7.x-1.4 release to kick off a happy new year in 2015. This release candidate offers some important cleanup of the memcache module's locking functionality. Prior to this release, it was possible for a thread to renew and/or release a lock that it no longer owned. We've also added support for Memcached SASL, fully documented in the README.
If you have enabled stampede protection ($conf['memcache_stampede_protection'] = TRUE;), it is strongly recommended that you upgrade. If you are unable to upgrade, you should disable stampede protection.
What’s changed since 7.x-1.3-rc1
Nothing. No regressions were found in 7.x-1.3-rc1 so we're re-releasing this unchanged as 7.x-1.3.
If you have enabled stampede protection ($conf['memcache_stampede_protection'] = TRUE;), it is strongly recommended that you upgrade. If you are unable to upgrade, you should disable stampede protection.
If you are already running 7.x-1.1, this is not an important or necessary update. This release benefits new memcache installations. If you are currently running 7.x-1.0 or an earlier release, you should update after proper testing.
Memcache 7.x-1.1 has been over two years in the making. There’s been a huge number of bug fixes and improvements made in that time (scroll down for the full list). If you’re relying on Memcache in production, this is an important upgrade. As with all production upgrades, however; please, test carefully first!
Another beta release of the upcoming 7.x-1.1 release of the memcache module. Please test in your development / QA / staging environments and provide feedback.
This is the fifth beta of the upcoming 7.x-1.1 release of the memcache module. Please test in your development / QA / staging environments and provide feedback.
This is the fourth beta of the upcoming 7.x-1.1 release of the memcache module. Please test in your development / QA / staging environments and provide feedback.
Since 7.x-1.0-rc3 there have been no reported regressions, so we're releasing 7.x-1.0 today.
This is the same code as rc3, so see the release notes for changes since 7.x-rc2.
If you are using 7.x-0.2 or a previous 7.x-1.x release candidate prior to 7.x-1.x-rc3 you are strongly urged to upgrade, several major bugs have been fixed since those releases.
