After I started the memcached-session-manager in spring, version 1.0 is finally released.

To get this out I just had to fix some checkstyle stuff and add/complete javadoc. There’s also a new wiki page that shows how to setup and configure tomcat so that the memcached-session-manager does its work as intended.

When I had started this project and had a first version to try out, there were several users that contacted me via email with questions, suggestions and issue reports. And there were some that use the memcached-session-manager in their products. I was really happy to get this feedback and interest, this was very motivating - thanx to all of you!

If some of the suggestions are not yet implemented please be forgiving, their still on my list.

Just some weeks ago, I also started a google group for the memcached-session-manager, so that discussions can now take place publicly and questions/answers are shared.

Finally, what makes me really happy now after the release? It’s the fact that now all those new features and tasks can be tackled :) Just an unordered brain dump of what will come:

• Make serialization strategy pluggable (right now java serialization is used), so that different requirements could be implemented, e.g. forward/backward compatibility in terms of class versions ( so that old sessions can be picked up by a new software version after a deployment/release)
• Make backup storage pluggable, so that another backend instead of memcached might be used, e.g. ehcache server
• Managing configured memcached-nodes via JMX

(An up-to-date list of features/improvements should always be available in the issue tracker)

If you have any ideas/requirements what might be useful please let me know!
