W3 Total Cache (Fixed)

This project is a community driven build of W3 Total Cache (W3TC) originally developed by @ftownes. The aim is to continuously incorporate fixes, improvements, and enhancements over the official Wordpress release of W3 Total Cache.

There are two actively maintained W3TC (Fixed) generations in this repository: Version 0.9.5.x and Version 0.9.4.x

Both generations fill voids for two sets of users. Although on the surface both are separated by a trivial subversion increment in their names, their underlying coding structure is vastly different. Because of that they potentially operate differently under the same server-side configurations.

Version 0.9.5.x is a fork of the latest official release of W3TC (found on WordPress) but also integrates updates, security patches, and new features.

Version 0.9.4.x is for those who, for one reason or another, are unable to upgrade to W3TC v0.9.5.x and so prefer to stick with this legacy version (because they've had success with it) but still yearn for updates, security patches, and new features.

Make sure you select the correct generation that fits your environment.
