- For consistency, functions should always return null on non-existing data.
- WordPressPluginUpdateBridge appears to have used its own cache instance in the past. Obviously not used anymore.
- Since $key can be anything, the cache implementation must ensure to assign the related data reliably; most commonly by serializing and hashing the key in an appropriate way.
- Even though the default path for storage is perfectly fine, some people may want to use a different location. This is an example how a cache implementation is responsible for its requirements.
This commit adds support for a new parameter which specifies the type
of cache to use for caching. It is specified in config.ini.php:
[cache]
type = "..."
Currently only one type of cache is supported (see /caches). All uses
of 'FileCache' were replaced by this configuration option.
Note: Caching currently depends on files and folders (due to FileCache).
Experience may vary depending on the selected cache type. For now always
check if FileCache is working before testing alternative types.
