Description: 
  • Core's custom block cache has been replaced with a standard drupal_render() cache.
  • The user interface for block caching has been removed. Modules that define blocks should declare their blocks' cache settings in hook_block_info().
  • Site builders may adjust block caching through the UI with the Block cache alter contributed module.
  • To disable block caching on a site, configure a null cache for the block cache in settings.php:
    $conf['cache_class_block'] = 'DrupalNullCache';
