Memcached 1.6.38 Release Notes Date: 2025-3-19
http://www.memcached.org/files/memcached-1.6.38.tar.gz
Significant bug fixes in this release. Most notably:
A few kilobytes of memory was leaked every time extstore evicted a disk page. Extstore may evict memory when very small objects (a few hundred bytes) are being written to disk. This should no longer happen. Proxy configurations with chained route handlers may hang if all of their children errored via a wait timeout. A number of other "Fixes" were made to docs or code, but none that affect users. The fixes pertain more to code correctness and only address impossible or useless conditions.
Release memory in function restart_get_kv
Release memory in function _evict_page
assoc.c: fix leak in assoc_get_iterator
Free subopts_orig
in function main Free temp_portnumber_filename
before exits proxy: flag error res objects properly proxy: fix wait_cond
with subrctx errors docs: move build instructions to README.md proxy: rctx:best_result
fix for missed responses extstore: multiple tunings for small values slabs: wait before adjusting memory watermark None
