Changelog

1.0

  • no new changes from 0.14.0

0.14.0

  • Requires Elixir 1.7 or newer
  • Added fetch_or_store/3 and dirty_fetch_or_store/3

0.13.1

  • removed a few compiler warnings

0.13.0

Breaking changes

  • Requires Elixir 1.5 or newer
  • The ConCache.start_link function takes only one argument. Previously, you needed to pass two keyword lists, which have now been unified in a single kw list. See ConCache.start_link/1 for details.
  • The ConCache.start_link parameters :ttl_check and :ttl are renamed to :ttl_check_interval and :global_ttl.
  • The :ttl_check_interval parameter is now required. If you don't want expiry in your cache, you need to explicitly pass ttl_check_interval: false.
  • If the :ttl_check_interval option is set to a positive integer, you also need to pass the :global_ttl option.
  • If a cache is configured for expiry, but you want some item to not expire, you need to pass the atom :infinity as its TTL value (previously, it was 0).

Improvements

  • Added child_spec/1. A ConCache child can now be specified as {ConCache, [name: :my_cache, ttl_check_interval: false]}.

0.12.1

  • Relaxed version requirement for Elixir
  • Proper early exit when the cache doesn't exist

0.12.0

Breaking changes

  • Elixir 1.4 is now required.
  • The process started through ConCache.start_link is a supervisor (previously it was a worker). Make sure to adapt your supervisor specifications accordingly.
  • ConCache.start has been removed.

Improvements

  • You can now use bag, and duplicate_bag (thanks to fcevado for implementing it).
  • Lock processes are now specific for each cache instance (previously they were shared between all of them). Multiple cache instances in the same system will not block each other.

0.11.1

  • Fix warnings on 1.3.0

0.11.0

Improvements

  • Support the avoiding prolongation of ttls when updated items through the :no_update ttl value in %ConCache.Item{}

Fixes

  • New items inserted with ConCache.update/3 and ConCache.dirty_update/3 never expired.

0.10.0

Improvements

  • add ConCache.size/1

0.9.0

Fixes

  • Support for Elixir 1.1

0.8.1

Fixes

  • Proper unlocking of an item. Previously it was possible that a process keeps the resource locked forever if the lock attempt timed out.

0.8.0

Breaking changes

  • Removed following ConCache functions: size/1, memory/1, memory_bytes/1, get_all/1, with_existing/3
  • Changed ConCache update functions: update/3, dirty_update/3, update_existing/3 and dirty_update_existing/3. The provided lambda now must return either {:ok, new_value} or {:error, reason}.
  • Changed ConCache.try_isolated/4 - the function returns {:ok, result} or {:error, reason}
  • Upgraded to the most recent ExActor

Fixes

  • Fixed possible race-conditions on client process crash
  • Fixed mutual exclusion of independent caches

0.6.1

  • Elixir v1.0.0

0.5.1

  • bugfix: balanced lock wasn't working properly

0.5.0

  • upgrade to Elixir v1.0.0-rc1

0.4.0

  • upgrade to Elixir v0.15.0

0.3.0

With this version, ConCache is turned into a proper application that obeys OTP principles. This required some changes to the way ConCache is used.

First, ConCache is now an OTP application. Consequently, you should add it as an application dependency in your mix.exs:

  ...

  def application do
    [applications: [:con_cache, ...], ...]
  end

  ...

This will make sure that before your app is started, ConCache required processes are started as well.

To create a cache, you can use ConCache.start_link/0,1,2 or ConCache.start/0,1,2. These functions now return result in the form of {:ok, pid} where pid identifies the owner process of the underlying ETS table. You can use that pid as the first argument to exported functions from ConCache module.

The first argument to both functions must contain ConCache options (unchanged), while the second argument contains GenServer start options. Both are by default empty lists.

The cache owner process is not inserted into the supervision tree of the ConCache OTP application. It is your responsibility to place it in your own tree at the desired place.

Of course, when using supervision, you can't use the ETS owner process pid to interface the cache, since this process can be restarted. Instead, you must rely on some registration facility. For example, this is how you can locally register the owner process, and use the alias to interface with the cache:

# Specifying the alias of the ETS owner process
iex(1)> ConCache.start_link([], name: :my_cache)

# Interfacing the cache via the registered alias
iex(2)> ConCache.put(:my_cache, :some_key, :some_value)
iex(3)> ConCache.get(:my_cache, :some_key)
:some_value

When creating the cache from the supervision tree, use something like this in your specification:

worker(ConCache, [con_cache_options, [name: ...]])

And then interface the cache via the corresponding alias.

Besides this simple local registration, you can also use {:global, some_alias}, and {:via, module, some_alias} format. For example, to register the process with gproc, you can do something like this:

ConCache.start_link([], name: {:via, :gproc, :my_cache})
...
ConCache.put({:via, :gproc, :my_cache}, :some_key, :some_value)
