Log Message:
gdbm: update to 1.20.
Version 1.20, 2021-06-17
* New bucket cache
The bucket cache support has been rewritten from scratch. The new
bucket cache code provides for significant speed up of search
operations.
* Change mmap prereading strategy
Pre-reading of the memory mapper regions, introduced in version 1.19
can be advantageous only when doing intensive look-ups on a read-only
database. It degrades performance otherwise, especially if doing
multiple inserts. Therefore, this version introduces a new flag
to gdbm_open: GDBM_PREREAD. When given, it enables pre-reading of
memory mapped regions.
See https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/18884 for details.
