in the patches section you'll notice a bunch of patches from chris_a_thomas, they are all related to updating magpie with the ability to run multiple types of caching, the previous only ability was to do file caching, well now you can cache to php session variables too, it can help with people who are unable to write to the filesystem (say inside a sourceforge webhosting environment)
of course the usual advise is given: don't use it for large feeds or your webhost will kill your dog and your family (joke)
it changes a lot of the internals in magpie, but nothing critical and the code is fairly well laid out, because of the clean design of magpie, it was so easy to update.
I hope you find the use of session caching as great as I do
perhaps now we are more in a position to discuss database caching? now that the framework code is all there, ready and waiting?
