Changelog

Changes

• Added support for storing Secret variables.
• Added support for storing complex Python objects. All pickleable 🥒 objects can now be stored in the cache.
• Added support for .pkl cache files. These pickle files are a bit faster than JSON files, but they are not human readable. .json files remain default.
• Added pick strategy parallel process to keyword Cache Retrieve Value From Collection. With parallel process, each parallel process gets its own fixed value, preventing multiple processes from using the same value at the same time. Within a process, the same value is returned on each call.

• Added log message when retrieving values. The message includes when the value/collection expires

• Added dependency: jsonpickle
