First Cache Router release for Drupal 7

Hello Drupal world!

I released beta1 of the 7.x branch of Cache Router over the holiday. The new release passes all Core Cache Tests for APC, File, Database, eAccelerator, and Memcache. XCache is currently broken, and I'm working to get that engine working again as well.

I've ported the admin statistic over as well. This is definitely a "BETA" release since there is still development work being done on Drupal 7 before it is going to be able to be released. The stats are not finished for DB, eAccelerator or File caching although I am open to suggestions on how we could accomplish those as easily as Memcache. APC stats and eA stats might be missing some information as they don't provide as much info as Memcache daemons do.

The last things to get done for a 1.0 release of Cache Router are:

1. Finish session handling for Cache Router.
2. Finish stats for each engine, or at least making information available that we can and note that the engine does not provide us the information.
3. Fix XCache engine to not white screen.
4. Clear out the issue queue to make this 1.0 release as stable as possible.

Any one who is interested in testing out the engines in their production environment or at least staging environment is encouraged to do so, but please realize that this is still BETA at this point.

There will be a new beta version of the 5.x and 6.x branches soon, although using this module with Drupal 6.x and up is much easier because of the core cache serialization issues from Drupal 5. I have posted patches for Drupal 5 all the way up to the latest release, but you will have to still patch your custom modules and common contrib modules such as Views and CCK to not serialize your own data for best performance.

Here is the admin stats interface:
