Releases for Authenticated User Page Caching (Authcache)

Release notes

RELEASE CANDIDATE 1

UPGRADING FROM BETA

If you are upgrading from a beta version (if you have been using Authcache before 2009-09-13), please delete the "authcache" module directory and then extract the new release.

"ajax_authcache.php" also no longer needs to be in the Drupal root directory. Make sure to follow the new configuration settings (like downloading the latest Cache Router and using the correct $conf values in settings.php).
