+Subject: res_sorcery_memory_cache
+
+The SorceryMemoryCacheExpireObject AMI action and CLI
+command allow expiring of a specific object within the
+sorcery memory cache. This is done by removing the
+object from the cache with the expectation that the
+cache will then re-populate the object when it is next
+needed.
+
+For full backend caching this does not occur. The cache
+won't repopulate until an entire refresh is done resulting
+in the possibility that objects are missing until that
+time.
+
+The AMI action and CLI command will now not allow
+expiring of an object if the cache is configured as a
+full backend cache. Instead you must use either the
+SorceryMemoryCacheExpire or SorceryMemoryCachePopulate
+AMI actions or their associated CLI commands.
