= 1.2.0 Release Notes =
 * Version: 1.2.0
 * Previous version: [wiki:Release-1.1.0 1.1.0]
 * Branch: 1.2
 * Status: Stable (Marked at 2007-02-03)
 * Release Purpose: Features, PHP 5.2 compatibility
 * Author: mOo <[mailto:phpxcache@gmail.com phpxcache@gmail.com]>
 * Release date: 2006-12-10

== Notes ==

I'm pleased to announce the 1.2.0 release, as it's the first middle-digit version jump (excluding 1.1, which was not released as a stable version). This version features full support for PHP 5.2.

~~It is marked as unstable so you'll notice it's a big change from the old version, even though some users put XCache 1.2.0 in production before it was released, and it looked fine.~~

XCache 1.2.0 was marked as stable on 2007-02-03, without any patches, which means it's production-ready.

Note that this version does '''not''' support the PHP '''5.0.x''' series, only 5.1.x and 5.2.x.

It's up to you to select which version to use, but your installation and feedback will help greatly.

Thanks
