ANN: DiskCache 1.6.3 Released

[Grant Jenks]

Announcing the release of DiskCache version 1.6.3

What is DiskCache?
----

[DiskCache][1] is an Apache2 licensed disk and file backed cache
library, written in pure-Python, and compatible with Django. By
leveraging a rock-solid database library and memory-mapped files,
cache performance can match and exceed industry standard solutions.
There’s no need for a C compiler or running another process.
[Performance is a feature][2] and testing has 100% coverage with unit
tests and hours of stress in production.
