The hackathon went well again. Admittedly, I didn't talk to everyone there, but from the corner with the food, there was some additional protocol work and tree merging going on. Please fill in interesting things that happened that I didn't know about or forgot.
In particular, Toru implemented stats for the binary protocol. It's pretty good stuff. I wrote java client support for it, and helped iron out some minor issues that arose. I think the only change that came out of this was that the opaque behavior was kind of undefined. All opaque values coming out of stats were set to 0 (and the requested opaque was ignored). Stats values will have the magic opaque value of 0x746f7275 and the terminating stat will have the requested opaque value. *INCOMPATIBILITY NOTES* We have one change coming up that has been affecting me a lot re: compatibility and that's the removal of hold values from delete. If you rely on this behavior, please let someone know -- it's going away. Brad did some work on making the long parser more strict in incr/ decr. If you rely on arbitrary objects being treated as 0, you have a silent bug that will turn into a loud bug in the future.
