plone.app.caching provides a Plone UI and default rules for managing HTTP response caching in Plone. It builds on z3c.caching, plone.caching and plone.cachepurging.

plone.app.caching requires Plone 4 or later.

From Plone 4.1 onwards, ``plone.app.caching`` is shipped as a dependency of Plone core.

It is available from the Control Panel, but not enabled by default. You can enable it from the "add-ons" menu option.

Add plone.app.caching to the eggs list in your buildout.cfg, or as a dependency of one of your own packages in setup.py. ZCML configuration will be automatically loaded via a z3c.autoinclude entry point. You will also need to install the package in Plone's Add-ons control panel as normal.

This package depends on a number of other packages, including z3c.form and plone.app.registry, that do not ship with Plone 4.0. You will probably want to lock down the versions for those packages using a known good set. Add this to the the extends line in your buildout.cfg, after the line that includes the Plone KGS:

extends =
    ...
    http://good-py.appspot.com/release/plone.app.caching/1.0a1

Update the version number at the end of the URL as appropriate. You can find here an overview of the versions
