I’m delighted that the next version of APC has been released, it’s been a little while since a new package was made and it’s a good opportunity to get everything back into sync especially in determining which bugs are still causing problems for people. There are a number of changes and fixes from Rasmus, Gopal, Ilia, Wez, Bjori and myself. I’m interested to see how the new locking methods work out for people, specifically pthread mutex vs. spin locks (spin locks from the Postgres project). I’ll try to get some benchmarks of my own completed in the comming week.

This was a lot of fun! Thanks to Yelp and Cyan for a good recommendation on where to have it done (Body Manipulations, SF), and David for holding my hand.
