 Features
 ========
 
+Current features
+----------------
+
 * Pure Python.
 * Compatible with Python 3.9+ (Python 2.7 was discontinued in version 1.2.8).
 * Supported and `tested on Linux, OS X and Windows <https://travis-ci.org/shaypal5/cachier>`_.
 * A simple interface.
 * Defining "shelf life" for cached values.
-* Local caching using pickle files.
-* Cross-machine caching using MongoDB.
-* Redis-based caching for high-performance scenarios.
+* Async and sync functions support.
+* Multiple caching backends (cores):
+
+  * Local caching using pickle files.
+  * In-memory caching using the memory core.
+  * Cross-machine caching using MongoDB.
+  * SQL-based caching using SQLAlchemy-supported databases.
+  * Redis-based caching for high-performance scenarios.
+
 * Thread-safety.
 * **Per-call max age:** Specify a maximum age for cached values per call.

 This allows you to have a cross-machine, albeit slower, cache. This functionality requires that the installation of the ``pymongo`` python package.
 
 In certain cases the MongoDB backend might leave a deadlock behind, blocking all subsequent requests from being processed. If you encounter this issue, supply the ``wait_for_calc_timeout`` with a reasonable number of seconds; calls will then wait at most this number of seconds before triggering a recalculation.
