- 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.
