- caching now uses beaker.cache_manager directly. For best results

use Beaker 1.0.4, just checked in.   This version of Beaker stores
no persistent state in memory for each key, allowing dynamically
generated keys to work without using up available memory.

CHANGES

 0.2.3
 - added support for Jython 2.5.
 
-- cache module now uses Beaker's clsmap to get at 
-container classes, so cache types such as 
-"ext:google", "ext:sqla", etc. are available.  
-memcached is available as both "ext:memcached" and
-"memcached", the latter for backwards compatibility.
-This requires Beaker>=1.0.1.
