        * gdbm.3, gdbm.texinfo: Update for 1.8.

        * Makefile.in, configure.in: Switch to using libtool, but without
          automake.

          files (libtool 1.2).

Wed May 12 01:26:15 PDT 1999    Jason Downs     (downsj@downsj.com)

        * gdbmopen.c, gdbmclose.c, gdbmreorg.c: check file_locking before
          calling locking macros; add support for setting GDBM_NOLOCK in
          gdbm_open().

        * gdbmdefs.h: add file_locking flag to gdbm_file_info.

        * gdbmconst.h, gdbm.proto: add GDBM_NOLOCK flag.

        * gdbmerrno.h: kill the enum, add defines for errors.

        * gdbmsetopt.c, testgdbm.c: support GDBM_SYNC/GDBM_SYNCMODE.

        * gdbmopen.c: gdbm_open() now DEFAULTS to ``fast mode''; use
          GDBM_SYNC to turn it off.  GDBM_FAST is obsolete and ignored.

        * gdbmconst.h: add GDBM_SYNC and GDBM_SYNCMODE.

        * proto.h, various source files: switch _ARGS to __P.

        * systems.h, various source files: kill word_t, just use int
          everywhere.

        * configure.in, autoconf.h.in: remove alloca() goo and modernize.

        * many source files: replace all instances of alloca() with real
          malloc()s and free()s.

        * update.c: don't deref NULL in _gdbm_fatal(), and don't use stdio.

          coalesce_blocks.

        * gdbmdefs.h: added coalesce_blocks. these should've been bitmapped.
          oh well.

          current header is half empty, instead of zero.

Fri Jun  3 05:11:33 1994  jason downs  (downsj@csos.orst.edu)

          ago.

Fri Jun  3 03:47:46 1994  jason downs  (downsj@csos.orst.edu)
        
        * falloc.c (_gdbm_put_av_elem): allow adjacent blocks to be

Sat Oct 30 05:20:45 1993  jason downs  (downsj@csos.orst.edu)

        * testgdbm.c: Added support for bucket cache and block sizes,
          adding -c, -b and -g flags. Must use -g to specify the file
          name, now.

        * bucket.c, gdbmopen.c, gdbmclose.c, gdbmreorg.c, update.c,
          gdbmconst.h, gdbmdefs.h: Implemented dynamic, delayed

        * gdbmerrno.c, gdbmexists.c, close.c, dbmrdonly.c: New files,
          adding the routines gdbm_strerror(), gdbm_exists(), and for
          better compatibility with the old dbm/ndbm libraries, the
          dbmclose() and dbm_rdonly() routines.

        * various headers: Added prototypes for the new routines, and

          testgdbm.c, update.c, gdbm.h: Added code to allow for a
          GDBM_FAST mode in which fsync is not called during

          testgdbm to make use of the new fast mode.

        * gdbmsync.c: Added this function to allow a programmer
          to use the GDBM_FAST mode but still be able to sync
          a database.

          gdbmreorg.c: Added initialization of gdbm_errno to GDBM_NO_ERROR.

Mon Mar 22 23:03:36 1993  Phil Nelson  (phil at cs.wwu.edu)

        * gdbmclose.c: (gdbmclose) Added a fsync before close to make

        * Changed copyright on all files to include 1993.  Also deleted
          all references to my phone number.

Thu Feb 28 17:05:09 1991  Phil Nelson  (phil at strawberry.cs.wwu.edu)

        * Added 1991 to copyright lines on all files.

        * gdbmfetch.c: Fixed a bug introduced by previous changes.

        * version.c:  Updated version to 1.5.

Fri Feb  8 12:27:13 1991  Phil Nelson  (phil at strawberry.cs.wwu.edu)

        * Change author's e-mail address in all comments.

        * gdbmopen.c, systems.h: Changed opening sequence so that a
          database will not be truncated in NEWDB mode until the
          write has locked the file.

        * testgdbm.c: Fixed a bug that caused a segmentation fault on
          one computer.  Also added the flags "-r" for opening the
          database as a READER and "-n" for opening the database as
          a NEWDB writer.  The default mode remains the WRCREAT mode.

        * Various source files, changed the data types of various
          variables from int to long.  This should not make any difference
          to systems where sizeof(int) = sizeof(long).  It should make
          it easier to move to other systems.

        * gdbmstore.c: Added a check for NULL key or content dptr.  Due to
          NULLs being used as error indications, data cannot be NULL also.

        * gdbmfetch.c, gdbmseq.c, fetch.c: Added checks for zero sized
          key and content so malloc will not try to allocate zero bytes.

        * gdbmconst.h: Added this file so that all constants are in one
          central place.  A few constants can be changed without changing
          the header sizes.

Tue Aug 14 13:08:43 1990  Phil Nelson  (phil at unicorn.wwu.edu)

        * Version 1.4 released.  (version.c: Updated to correct version.)

        * Makefile: Added $(LIBS) to link for conv2gdbm.

        * README: Updated to version 1.4 and added a 1.0-1.4 change
          statement.

Wed Aug  8 16:57:29 1990  Phil Nelson  (phil at unicorn.wwu.edu)

        * gdbmopen.c: Restructured some code to initialize dbf
          more completely.

        * dbm.h: Added a null define to satisfy some versions that
          require a dbmclose() call.

        * findkey.c: (_gdbm_findkey) Added a check for the NULL
          pointer in ...ca_data.dptr.

        * gdbmdelete.c: Added code to more completely remove the
          cache entry for a deleted item.

        * gdbmreorg.c: Added code to finish the transfer of information
          from the new_dbf to the orginal dbf.

        * Version 1.3 released.

        * systems.h: Changed the defines for alloca to use the
          name builtin_alloca to depend on BUILTIN_ALLOCA instead
          of __GNUC__.  Added a definition of BUILTIN_ALLOCA for
          GNUC and for sun sparc.

Fri May 11 12:15:56 1990  Phil Nelson  (phil at unicorn.wwu.edu)

        * systems.h: Removed the include for <sys/types> and now
          systems.h requires <sys/types> included before it.

        * Makefile: Corrected the makefile to include a file that
          was missing before.  Also, switched order of conv2gdbm
          and alldbm in the all option.

        * findkey.c (_gdbm_read_entry): Reordered some statements
          to make the code more readable.

        * update.c (_gdbm_fatal): Changed fatal message from "dbm fatal:"
          to "gdbm fatal:".

Mon Apr 30 10:18:24 1990  Phil Nelson  (phil at unicorn.wwu.edu)

        * Version 1.2 released.

Fri Apr 27 09:49:59 1990  Phil Nelson  (phil at unicorn.wwu.edu)

        * Makefile: Added the dist option.  Similar to the 
          addition from hack@ai.mit.edu, but correct.

        * falloc.c (push_avail_block):  Change the avail count
          to reflect the correct number of entries.

        * dbminit.c (dbminit): Changed the stat call to stat the
          ".dir" file as is done in dbmopen.c (dbm_open).

        * Version 1.1. released.

        * gdbmopen.c (gdbm_open): Clear out bucket cache.
