See release notes at: http://code.google.com/p/memcached/wiki/ReleaseNotes147rc1 Still too lazy to include notes in the tag. We cna fix typoes in th ewiki, too.
See release notes at: http://code.google.com/p/memcached/wiki/ReleaseNotes146 Release 1.4.7 and further will have release notes coupled in the tags again. Right now I'm too damn lazy.
Initial beta of 1.6.0. Apologies for the brief annotation :)

2 Overview
~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a maintenance release with some build fixes, doc fixes, and
one new stat.
3 Fixes
~~~~~~~~
* Properly detect CPU alignment on ARM. bug100
* Remove 1MB assertion. bug119
* More automake versions supported.
* Compiler warning fixes for OpenBSD.
* potential buffer overflow in vperror
* Report errors opening pidfiles using vperror
4 New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4.1 New stat: reclaimed
========================
This stat reports the number of times an entry was stored using memory
from an expired entry.
4.2 sasl_pwdb for more simple auth deployments
===============================================
--enable-sasl-pwdb allows memcached to use it's own password file and
verify a plaintext password.
The file is specified with the environment variable
MEMCACHED_SASL_PWDB, and is a plain text file with the following
syntax:
username:password
Please note that you have to specify "mech_list: plain" in your sasl
config file for this to work.
Ex:
echo "mech_list: plain" > memcached.conf
echo "myname:mypass" > /tmp/memcached-sasl-db
export MEMCACHED_SASL_PWDB=/tmp/memcached-sasl-db
export SASL_CONF_PATH=`pwd`/memcached.conf
./memcached -S -v
and you should be able to use your favorite memcached client with sasl
support to connect to the server.
(Please note that not all SASL implementations support
SASL_CB_GETCONF, so you may have to install the sasl config
(memcached.conf) to the systemwide location)

2 Overview
~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a maintenance release of memcached with a workaround for
common client issue as well as a few new stats.
3 Fixes
~~~~~~~~
3.1 Add partial backwards compatibility for delete with timeout 0.
===================================================================
Before version 1.4.0, there was an optional argument to delete that
would allow a client to specify that a deleted object should exist in
the cache after the deletion occurred such that add operations would
fail even though objects did not appear in the cache.
This feature was removed completely in 1.4.0, but a parser bug caused
it to slip through. The bug was fixed in 1.4.3. If anyone was
attempting to use it legitimately in the 1.4 series, it would simply
not work as expected.
The 1.4.4 backwards compatibility change allows specifically the value
of 0 (i.e. non-lingering delete), while continuing to reject others.
This will satisfy clients that always wish to send a value even when
they do not wish the item to linger.
4 New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4.1 New Stats
==============
4.1.1 auth_enabled_sasl
------------------------
This is a general stat that indicates whether SASL authentication is
enabled or not.
4.1.2 auth_cmds
----------------
Indicates the total number of authentication attempts.
4.1.3 auth_errors
------------------
Indicates the number of failed authentication attempts.

rc2 fixes a multiget bug that showed up in rc1. A bug was not filed,
but it was found and patched at roughly the same time.
3 Fixes
~~~~~~~~
3.1 Critical Fixes
===================
* Malicious input can crash server. bug102
3.2 Non-critical Fixes
=======================
* Removed special case in slab sizing for factor 2. bug56
* Provide better errors for deletion scenarios. bug3
* Fix get stats accounting. bug104
* Ignore stats prefix for keys without a delimiter. bug96
* Work around rpm's broken concept of versions more. bug98
* Use slab class growth factor limit. bug57
* Added LSB section to init script. bug54
* Documentation fixes
* Various build fixes
3.3 Itemized List of Bugs Closed
=================================
If a bug shows up in this list that wasn't specifically mentioned
above, it's either too minor to mention specifically or the bug was
closed by introducing a test that proves that the bug, as described,
does not exist.
* bug3
* bug54

* bug62
* bug67
* bug68
* bug69
* bug96

4 New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4.1 Support for SASL Authentication
====================================
Some installations of memcached are not in controlled environments
where simple network filtering keeps bad guys out of your stuff. To
help with those other environments, we've introduced SASL support.
You can read more about it here:
[http://code.google.com/p/memcached/wiki/SASLHowto]
4.2 New perl tool damemtop in scripts/
=======================================
dormando's awesome memcached top - a new commandline perl tool for
monitoring small to large memcached clusters. Supports monitoring
arbitrary statistics. See scripts/README.damemtop for more
information.
This tool is intended to replace memcached-tool, but not yet.
4.3 Also Noteworthy, Slab Optimizations
========================================
Objects on the larger end of the limit should be generally more memory
efficient now as more slabs are created (thus are more granular).

2 Overview
~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a maintenance release consisting primarily of bug fixes.
3 Fixes
~~~~~~~~
3.1 Critical Fixes
===================
* Reject keys larger than 250 bytes in the binary protocol (bug94)
* Bounds checking on stats cachedump (bug92)
* Binary protocol set+cas wasn't returning a new cas ID (bug87)
3.2 Non-critical Fixes
=======================
* Binary quitq didn't actually close the connection (bug84)
* Build fix on CentOS 5 (bug88)
* Slab boundary checking cleanup (bad logic in unreachable code)
* Removed some internal redundancies.
* Use the OS's provided htonll/ntohll if present (bug83)
* Test fixes/cleanup/additions.
* Get hit memory optimizations (bug89)
* Disallow -t options that cause the server to not work (bug91)
* memcached -vv now shows the final slab
* Killed off incomplete slab rebalance feature.
* Better warnings.
* More consistent verbosity in binary and ascii (bug93)
* More RPM spec fixes.
4 New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4.1 Support for libhugetlbfs (in Linux)
========================================
From [http://libhugetlbfs.ozlabs.org/] -
libhugetlbfs is a library which provides easy access to huge
pages of memory. It is a wrapper for the hugetlbfs file
system.
If you are running memcached with a very large heap in Linux, this
change will make it available to you. The hugetlbfs HOWTO provides
detailed information on how to configure your Linux system and provide
advice to applications (such as memcached) to make use of it.
4.2 Support for evictions, evict_time and OOM counts in memcached-tool
=======================================================================
memcached-tool is a commandline tool to display information about your
server. It displays more now.
4.3 Configurable maximum item size.
====================================
Many people have asked for memcached to be able to store items larger
than 1MB, while it's generally recommended that one *not* do this, it
is now supported on the commandline.
A few enlightened folk have also asked for memcached to reduce the
maximum item size. That is also an option.
The new -I parameter allows you to specify the maximum item size at
runtime. It supports a unit postfix to allow for natural expression
of item size.
Examples:
memcached -I 128k # Refuse items larger than 128k.
memcached -I 10m # Allow objects up to 10MB
4.4 New stat: 'evicted_nonzero'
================================
The evicted_nonzero stat is a counter of all of the evictions for
items that had an expiration time greater than zero.
This can be used to help distinguish "healthy" evictions from
"unhealthy" ones. If all of your evictions are for objects with no
expiration, then they're naturally falling off the LRU as opposed to
being evicted before their maximum expiry that was set at item store
time.
4.5 Protocol definitions for range protocol.
=============================================
memcached ships with a binary protocol header that can be used when
implementing your own protocol parsers and generators. The structure
definitions and opcodes for the range specification are included in
this header.
Note that the server *does not* support these operations.
