Funny, I contributed the cache code but failed to include a way to disable it. Some might ask, "why would you ever want to disable the cache?" In my case I need the ability to retrieve an exchange rate for a previous day. I therefore collect all the possible combinations for 18 exchange rates on a daily basis and store them as a serialized array in the database. The default caching only creates additional overhead.

As a result I created a simple patch, which adds the ability to set the cache interval to 'none'. This might not be much use to anyone else, but here it is nonetheless.

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

Please make it a properly formatted patch.

Committed to 5.x-1.x-dev.

Please wait for 12 hours then download and test that tarball to see if all is well.

Once confirmed by a couple of people, I will create a stable release.
