The simple, yet extremely powerful, Ruby caching framework, Cachetastic  
has been upgraded to 1.7.0.

[http://www.mackframework.com/2008/06/04/cachetastic-170-release](http://www.mackframework.com/2008/06/04/cachetastic-170-release)

Features:

- Flexible configuration. All caches have can either have their own  
configurations, or they can inherit from a default configuration.
- Easy to use Adapter API. Included adapters include, LocalMemory,  
Memcache, DRb, File, and more. With the Adapter API being so simple,  
it’s easy to build your own custom adapter.
- Flexible logging. Each cache can have it’s own loggers, or they can  
use the default logger.
- JIT caching. Through Ruby’s powerful block structure, you can pass a  
block to a ‘get’ call and have it run if the results from the get are  
either ‘nil’ or ‘empty’
- Cachetastic::Cacheable module turns any Object into a cache. It allows  
for any instance of that Object to cache and uncache itself.
- And much more!
