Caching issues

Issue 1: The local cache feature of AppFabric Caching may not work correctly

The local cache feature of AppFabric Caching does not work correctly in some scenarios. Objects from the local cache are evicted aggressively.

Cause

Memory pressure-related eviction is based incorrectly on virtual bytes.

Resolution

After you apply this hotfix, local cache memory pressure-related eviction is changed to be based on private bytes.

Issue 2: High Availability Caching feature is not enabled on Windows Server 2012 Standard SKUs

The High Availability Caching feature in Microsoft AppFabric 1.1 works only on Windows Server Enterprise SKUs. However, Window Server 2012 does not have an Enterprise SKU.

This fix enables the High Availability feature in Microsoft AppFabric 1.1 for Windows to also work on Windows Server 2012 Standard SKUs.
