+This package is based on the `cl-memcached` library. It is
+substantially modified for use with the
+[memstore](http://memstore.kpe.io) library. The primary areas of
+additional functionality are:
* Support for flags field with get and set functions.
This is required as memstore stores bit flags denoting
supported by `usocket` are now supported with `memcached`.
* Encapsulated reading and writing to socket stream to avoid
- handling \#return characters in high-level code.
+ handling \\#return characters in high-level code.
* Changes to support the change in statistics fields with membase.
Some fields were no longer present. Also, membase 1.7 has
* More robust `print-object` functions to avoid errors if fields
in statistics are not present.
-* Removed compatibility functions in `compat.lisp` and using `kmrcl`
- package to provide those functions as well as utilitizing other
- `kmrcl` functions to simplify code.

+
+* Added functions to support all memcached API commands,
+ such as `flush_all` and `version`.
+
+* Support for the `moreply` command argument accepted by
+ many commands.
+
+* Support the `noreply` argument that many API commands accept.
-* Nearly the entire code base has been reworked for improved
- robustness and efficiency.
+* Write nearly the entire code base for improved
