what it does exactly?
whats the benefit ?

Replying to Nneel:

what it does exactly?
whats the benefit ?

it adds a new ini directive called xcache.enable_auth that defaults to On, if you set it to off, it disables the variable cache authentication (used with some xcache_* php api fucntions) so you can clean the cache or other operations without the requirement of username and password from applications (like a Symfony framework).

applied in [367]

[moo]

updated in [368] to use xcache.admin.auth

[moo]

note for those misread this ticket: it's "xcache.admin.enable_auth"!
