gdbm-1.19 released [stable]

[Sergey Poznyakoff]

Hello,

This is to inform you that the version 1.19 of GDBM is available for
download.  See below for a list of important changes.

Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]:
  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdbm/gdbm-1.19.tar.gz
  http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gdbm/gdbm-1.19.tar.gz.sig

Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth:
  https://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html

Here are the MD5 and SHA1 checksums:

aeb29c6a90350a4c959cd1df38cd0a7e  gdbm-1.19.tar.gz
2b6cc7453341904432b457fb8a2450e5f2aaf331  gdbm-1.19.tar.gz

[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

  gpg --verify gdbm-1.19.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 3602B07F55D0C732

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

Noteworthy changes in this release:

* Pre-read the memory mapped regions on systems that support it.

This speeds up operations on big databases.

* gdbmtool: tagged initialization of structured data

Initializers for structured data can be given in tagged form, e.g.:

   store somekey { status=2, id={a,u,x}, name="foo" }

* Bugfixes:

** Preserve locking type during database reorganization

Best regards,
Sergey
