| ScopeThis page and the mailing list are provided for discussion purposes about the roadmap of OSCache and discussing new features and improvements. See also the JIRA - Road Map for more details or vote for issues in JIRA - Popular Issues . OSCache 3.0The primary goal of this release is to make OSCache more reliable and easier to use and maintain.   
	Reliability and maintainability will be achieved by replacing the core cache storage classes with simpler ones that sync on coarse-grained cache operations.  The memory cache, for instance, will use a hash map for its internal storage.  Existing features will be provided at a higher level, so to avoid conflicting with the storage management logic.Usability will be improved through a refactored API that extends the java.util.Map interface.  Some of the the things the new API will change:
	
		Remove NeedsRefreshException (if you have to ask, then you shouldn't care).Support for Object keys instead of only strings.Support for cache regions to enable easier management of multiple caches.Configuration via Spring (yes, it's a buzzword).Administration and statistics. Furthermore we discuss a Chain Caching Model internal.
