Overview

Bugfix release. Adds "GAT" command from binprot to asciiprot.

Fixes

  • Add warning about time on very low TTL's in doc/protocol.txt
  • pledge privdropping support for OpenBSD
  • make for loop more clear in logger watcher
  • fix theoretical leak in process_bin_stat
  • fix use of unitialized array in lru_maintainer
  • -o no_hashexpand to disable hash table expansion
  • fix chunked items set in binprot, read from ascii

New Features

  • adds get and touch command for ascii protocol

"gat [exptime] key [key...]\r\n" will fetch the item and refresh its expiration time. This is great for keys you'd normally either manually delete, or set to 0 TTL. Items rarely hit will expire, leaving more room for others.

This command has existed in the binary protocol for a long time, but now there's party for ascii users.
