* 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.

  pointer in ...ca_data.dptr.

  cache entry for a deleted item.

  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).

Tue Apr 10 12:18:40 1990  Phil Nelson  (phil at unicorn.wwu.edu)

* Version 1.1. released.

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