I'm prompted to ask by an answer to a related question. In APC-3.1.1 there was introduced the new flag apc.file_md5. Does anyone know what it currently does, or maybe what it's intended to do in future?

I got curious and went looking, the only reference I could find was located in the 3.1 release changelog, attributed to Brian Shire, [email protected]. Maybe he'll take a moment to reply to an email :)

    I contacted Brian Shire and he said that it was developed as part of an internal push process to detect changed source files. So it is just an md5 at the moment!

    Sorry, must've miscommunicated - currently it's *only* an md5 - APC doesn't do anything with it. It's the first step to doing what I'm after tho, so maybe it'll come along...
