+=====================================================
+Important: #80246 - MemcachedBackend marked transient
+=====================================================
+
+See :issue:`80246`
+
+Description
+===========
+
+The Memcached cache backend is marked transient. This has the following effect:
+
+* The backend now supports non-string values (Memcached serializes and compresses data internally, configured in php.ini)
+  An Exception is no longer raised if a custom cache frontend attempts to store non-strings in a Memcached backend.
+* Unnecessary serialization and unserialization is prevented, slightly improving performance.
+
+There is a single side effect: when used with a VariableFrontend and attempting to store data whose serialized and
+compressed representation exceeds the Memcached limit (~1MB), the cache operation fails silently and logs a warning.
+The system keeps operating as normal and will log such failures every time it happens.
+
+The side effect only applies to VariableFrontend and only when passing non-string values. When you pass a string bigger
+than ~1MB the backend performs chunk-split exactly as before, regardless if string was passed through a VariableFrontend.
