> - Update from 1.20 to 1.23
> - Update of rootfile not required
> - Changelog
>    Version 1.23, 2022-02-04
> 	* Bucket cache switched from balanced tree to hash table
> 	 Change suggested by Terence Kelly.
> 	* Speed up flushing the changed buckets on disk
> 	* New option codes for gdbm_setopt
> 	** GDBM_GETDBFORMAT
> 	 Return the database format.
> 	** GDBM_GETDIRDEPTH
> 	 Return the directory depth, i.e. the number of initial (most significant)
> 	  bits in hash value that are interpreted as index to the directory.
> 	** GDBM_GETBUCKETSIZE
> 	 Return maximum number of keys per bucket.
> 	** GDBM_GETCACHEAUTO
> 	 Return the status of the automatic cache adjustment.
> 	** GDBM_SETCACHEAUTO
> 	 Enable or disable automatic cache adjustment.
>    Version 1.22, 2021-10-19
> 	* Fix file header validation
> 	* Fix key verification in sequential access
> 	* Fix testing with DejaGNU 1.6.3
> 	* Fix stack overflow in print_usage
> 	* Fix a leak of avail entry on pushing a new avail block
> 	 The leak would occur if the original avail table had odd number of entries.
> 	* New gdbmtool variables: errorexit, errormask, trace, timing
> 	 "Errorexit" and "errormask" control which GDBM errors would cause the
> 	  program termination and emitting a diagnostic message,
> 	  correspondingly.  Both variables are comma-delimited lists of error
> 	  codes.
> 	 The "trace" variable enables tracing of the gdbmtool commands.
> 	 The "timing" variable, when set, instructs gdbmtool to print time
> 	  spent in each command it runs.
> 	* New gdbmtool options: -t (--trace), and -T (--timing)
>    Version 1.21, 2021-09-02
> 	* Crash tolerance
> 	 By default it is possible for an abrupt crash (e.g., power failure,
> 	  OS kernel panic, or application process crash) to corrupt the gdbm
> 	  database file.  A new Linux-only mechanism enables applications to
> 	  recover the database state corresponding to the most recent
> 	  successful gdbm_sync() call before the crash.  See the chapter 17
> 	  "Crash Tolerance" in the GDBM manual.
> 	* New database file format: numsync
> 	 The new "numsync" database format is designed to better support
> 	  crash tolerance.  To create a database in numsync format, the gdbm_open
> 	  (or gdbm_fd_open) function must be given the GDBM_NEWDB|GDBM_NUMSYNC
> 	  flags.  The GDBM_NUMSYNC flag also takes effect when used together
> 	  with GDBM_WRCREAT, provided that the new file is created.
> 	 New function gdbm_convert() is provided for converting the databases
> 	  from standard GDBM format to numsync and vice versa.
> 	 The gdbmtool tool can also be used for converting databases between
> 	  these two formats.
> 	* Changes in gdbmtool
> 	** Fix string output in non-ASCII encodings
> 	 Printable multi-byte sequences are correctly represented on output.
> 	 This also fixes octal representation of unprintable characters.
> 	** The filename variable
> 	 This variable supplies the name of database file for use in "open"
> 	 command, if the latter is called without arguments.  If "open" is
> 	 called with the file name argument, the "filename" variable is
> 	 initialized to this value.
> 	** The fd variable
> 	 If set, its value must be an open file descriptor referring to a
> 	 GDBM database file.  The "open" command will use gdbm_fd_open
> 	 function to use this file.   Upon closing the database, this
> 	 descriptor will be closed and the variable will be unset.
> 	 The file descriptor to use can also be supplied using the
> 	 -d (--db-descriptor) command line option.
> 	** The format variable
> 	 Defines the format in which new databases will be created.  Allowed
> 	 values are: "standard" (default) and "numsync".
> 	** New commands: upgrade and downgrade
> 	 The "upgrade" command converts current database to the numsync
> 	 (extended) format.  The "downgrade" command converts current database
> 	 to the standard format.
> 	** New command: snapshot
> 	 The "snapshot" command is part of the new crash tolerance support.
> 	 Given the names of two snapshot files, it analyzes them and selects
> 	 the one to be used for database recovery.  See the GDBM manual,
> 	 section 17.5 "Manual crash recovery" for a detailed discussion of its
> 	 use.
