Subject: [ANN] Localmemcache-0.2.0: The beauty of memcached.  For local	data.  Blazingly fast.

Hi,

I am happy to announce the next version of localmemcache (0.2.0), a
library that aims to provide an interface similar to memcached but for
accessing local data instead of remote data.  It's based on mmap()'ed
shared memory for maximum speed.  

* http://localmemcache.rubyforge.org/

Changes for 0.2.0:
  * Localmemcache uses logging now: In case your application is terminated
    while accessing the shared memory (eg by a kill -9), localmemcache is 
    now able to restore the integrity of your data.
  * \0 character can now be used in keys and values
  * The ruby binding now features a keys() method.
  * Added a C API.

0.2.0 facts:
  - lightweight: The core library is just about 1300 lines of C code
  - fast: About 40% slower than Ruby's hash (or about 36 times
    faster than a local memcached).

EXAMPLE
=======

require 'localmemcache'
$lm = LocalMemCache.new :namespace => "viewcounters"
$lm[:foo] = 1
$lm[:foo]
$lm.delete(:foo)

INSTALL
=======

# gem install localmemcache

(In case rubyforge has not yet updated the mirrors, fetch the 0.2.0 gem
from here: http://github.com/sck/localmemcache/downloads and then do
# gem install localmemcache-0.2.0.gem )
