Congratulations to everyone. Today the official magento CE 1.8 build appeared.
The main changes fix the current version issues.
Functional of tax calculation was improved and optimized. USPS and DHL libraries were updated as well.
Cache performance optimised and there is a new cacheing provider – Cm_Cache_Backend_Redis.
There also is an ability to move sessions to Redis with Cm_RedisSession.
Now you can use this from the box:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 |
<cache> <backend>Cm_Cache_Backend_Redis</backend> <backend_options> <server>127.0.0.1</server> <!-- or absolute path to unix socket for better performance --> <port>6379</port> <database>0</database> <password></password> <force_standalone>0</force_standalone> <!-- 0 for phpredis, 1 for standalone PHP --> <connect_retries>1</connect_retries> <!-- Reduces errors due to random connection failures --> <automatic_cleaning_factor>0</automatic_cleaning_factor> <!-- Disabled by default --> <compress_data>1</compress_data> <!-- 0-9 for compression level, recommended: 0 or 1 --> <compress_tags>1</compress_tags> <!-- 0-9 for compression level, recommended: 0 or 1 --> <compress_threshold>20480</compress_threshold> <!-- Strings below this size will not be compressed --> <compression_lib>gzip</compression_lib> <!-- Supports gzip, lzf and snappy --> <persistent>1</persistent> <!-- persistence value, 0: not in use, > 0 used as persistence ID --> </backend_options> </cache> |
