[ruby-announce] ANN: HStore version 0.91

A new version of the HStore class is now available.

An HStore stores and retrieves key/value pairs to and from disk similar to a Pstore. An HStore uses two files, an index file containing a Hash of keys and the file position for each object and a data file containing the values in the HStore. The index file is cached in a Hash in memory for fast look-ups. The values are stored in a separate data file and are individually retrieved from disk with [] or fetch() and written back to disk with []= or update()/insert(). 

This release contains performance enhancements and reduces the disk space used by HStores.
