Subject: [ANN] Localmemcache-0.2.1: The beauty of memcached.  For local	data.  Blazingly fast.

Hi,

this release addresses some bugs that people were experiencing and brings
speed improvements.

===

Localmemcache 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 0.2.1:
  * Fixed a bug that prevented setting values in the hashtable
  * Accessing a closed memory cache does no longer result in a crash

  * Speed improvements: On my machine localmemcache is now only about 20%
  slower than Ruby's hash (0.2.0 was about 40% slower)
  * OS X is now officially not supported as it lacks sem_timedwait and
  sem_getvalue (You still can force a build but it won't be able to
  recover from crashes.)
  * The environment variable LMC_NAMESPACES_ROOT_PATH can now be used to
  override the default, which is /var/tmp/localmemcache
