upgrade path. The ``OS_version_found`` event as well as the
``generate_OS_version_event`` configuration option were removed.
- Removed the ``max_files_in_cache`` option and the associated
"file caching" feature it's associated with. That feature allowed
one to open many scripting-layer ``file`` objects and potentially
bypass the operating system's resource limits for open files.
This is typically not necessary and it's a problem that is more
appropriately addressed at the system configuration level.
