+= 1.5.0.3 (FiveRuns fork)
+
+* Integrated ITU-T CRC32 operation in native C extension for speed.  Thanks to Justin Balthrop!
+
+= 1.5.0.2 (FiveRuns fork)
+
+* Add support for seamless failover between servers.  If one server connection dies,
+the client will retry the operation on another server before giving up.
+
+* Merge Will Bryant's socket retry patch.
+http://willbryant.net/software/2007/12/21/ruby-memcache-client-reconnect-and-retry
+
+= 1.5.0.1 (FiveRuns fork)
+
+* Fix set not handling client disconnects.
+http://dev.twitter.com/2008/02/solving-case-of-missing-updates.html
+
+= 1.5.0
+
+* Add MemCache#flush_all command.  Patch #13019 and bug #10503.  Patches
+  submitted by Sebastian Delmont and Rick Olson.
+* Type-cast data returned by MemCache#stats.  Patch #10505 submitted by
+  Sebastian Delmont.
+
+= 1.4.0
+
+* Fix bug #10371, #set does not check response for server errors.
+  Submitted by Ben VandenBos.
+* Fix bug #12450, set TCP_NODELAY socket option.  Patch by Chris
+  McGrath.
+* Fix bug #10704, missing #add method.  Patch by Jamie Macey.
+* Fix bug #10371, handle socket EOF in cache_get.  Submitted by Ben
+  VandenBos.
+
+= 1.3.0
+
+* Apply patch #6507, add stats command.  Submitted by Tyler Kovacs.
+* Apply patch #6509, parallel implementation of #get_multi.  Submitted
+  by Tyler Kovacs.
+* Validate keys.  Disallow spaces in keys or keys that are too long.
+* Perform more validation of server responses.  MemCache now reports
+  errors if the socket was not in an expected state.  (Please file
+  bugs if you find some.)
+* Add #incr and #decr.
+* Add raw argument to #set and #get to retrieve #incr and #decr
+  values.
+* Also put on MemCacheError when using Cache::get with block.
+* memcache.rb no longer sets $TESTING to a true value if it was
+  previously defined.  Bug #8213 by Matijs van Zuijlen.
+
+= 1.2.1
+
+* Fix bug #7048, MemCache#servers= referenced changed local variable.
+  Submitted by Justin Dossey.
+* Fix bug #7049, MemCache#initialize resets @buckets.  Submitted by
+  Justin Dossey.
+* Fix bug #6232, Make Cache::Get work with a block only when nil is
+  returned.  Submitted by Jon Evans.
+* Moved to the seattlerb project.
+
+= 1.2.0
+
+NOTE: This version will store keys in different places than previous
+versions!  Be prepared for some thrashing while memcached sorts itself
+out!
+
+* Fixed multithreaded operations, bug 5994 and 5989.
+  Thanks to Blaine Cook, Erik Hetzner, Elliot Smith, Dave Myron (and
+  possibly others I have forgotten).
+* Made memcached interoperable with other memcached libraries, bug
+  4509.  Thanks to anonymous.
+* Added get_multi to match Perl/etc APIs
+
+= 1.1.0
+
+* Added some tests
+* Sped up non-multithreaded and multithreaded operation
+* More Ruby-memcache compatibility
+* More RDoc
+* Switched to Hoe
+
+= 1.0.0
+
+Birthday!

+= memcache-client
+
+This is the FiveRuns fork of seattle.rb's memcache-client 1.5.0.  We've fixed several bugs
+which are in that version.
+
+Rubyforge Project:
+
+http://rubyforge.org/projects/seattlerb
+
+Documentation:
+
+http://seattlerb.org/memcache-client
+
+== Installing memcache-client
+
+Just install the gem:
+
+  $ sudo gem install fiveruns-memcache-client --source http://gems.github.com
+
+== Using memcache-client
+
+With one server:
+
+  CACHE = MemCache.new 'localhost:11211', :namespace => 'my_namespace'
+
+Or with multiple servers:
+
+  CACHE = MemCache.new %w[one.example.com:11211 two.example.com:11211],
+                       :namespace => 'my_namespace'
+
+See MemCache.new for details.
+
+=== Using memcache-client with Rails
+
+Rails will automatically load the memcache-client gem, but you may
+need to uninstall Ruby-memcache, I don't know which one will get
+picked by default.
+
+Add your environment-specific caches to config/environment/*.  If you run both
+development and production on the same memcached server sets, be sure
+to use different namespaces.  Be careful when running tests using
+memcache, you may get strange results.  It will be less of a headache
+to simply use a readonly memcache when testing.
+
+memcache-client also comes with a wrapper called Cache in memcache_util.rb for
+use with Rails.  To use it be sure to assign your memcache connection to
+CACHE.  Cache returns nil on all memcache errors so you don't have to rescue
+the errors yourself.  It has #get, #put and #delete module functions.
+
+=== Improving Performance ===
+
+Performing the CRC-32 ITU-T step to determine which server to use for a given key
+is VERY slow in Ruby.  RubyGems should compile a native library for performing this
+operation when the gem is installed.
