Changes for version 1.34 - 2013-02-11

  • RT#83257: use AnyDBM_File rather than hardcode GDBM_File
    • To improve portability, use AnyDBM_File to select a DBM rather than rely on GDBM_File. GDBM_File apparently used to be a core module, but not all distributions included it, particularly OS X. In any event, GDBM_File is no longer core.
    • This patch also includes a tweak to allow MARC::Charset to work with NDBM_File and ODBM_File, neither of which support 'exists'.
    • I've tested MARC::Charset successfully on the following DBMs:
    • GDBM_File
    • DB_File
    • NDBM_File
    • ODBM_File
    • SDBM_File
    • This is also my preferred order; SDBM_File is selected last because it produces the biggest data file on disk.
  • RT#38912: fix mapping of double diacritics (ligature and double tilde). Thanks to Thomas P. Ventimiglia for the bug report and test case.
