Sorry, it seems I was not clear on this point. The engine for the new cache manager is done. It was started last Xmas, tested intensively and is even already in production usage in some internal systems. It was NOT ready for 4D v15 R5 through, as reminder: Every 3 month, usually around the time we publish a final R-Release, we fork the next one. This means, we take the latest version of our internal source (including all features and bug fixes done at that time) and start to REMOVE features. Every feature not fully tested is removed (=delayed for a following version). R5 was forked end of May - at that time we did not finished all testing for the cache manager. As the cache manager is a very important part of the database server, we had a very long testing planed. So, it is not in R5. But it will be in v16. In v16 the cache manager will run in fully automatic mode. Only thing you can set/modify is cache size, similar as in current versions. What's not in v16.x, is a set of features to fine tune the cache usage, to give different priorities to specific tables or index, which will improve performance even more for very large databases. And this will come with a following v16 R Release (development is finished, testing already started, but will need more time).
