OpenLC 0.5 is out

Two moths after first public release (v0.3)
arrives the 0.5. Version 0.4 was internal and will
never be released. v0.4 wasn't in time for many
reasons, but the most important one was a memory
leak detected on the ZODB database OpenLC used to
keep all the data. After two weeks browsing at the
ZODB lists (where more people reported similar
problems) and doing some debugging, I've decided
to use the very well tested Berkeley DB (from
SleepyCat) instead. Now, OpenLC runs much better,
with no perceptible memory leaks (at least, on my
rather small tests!). The drawback is that I've
added 2 new packages (yes, even more
dependencies!) to OpenLC in order to support this
new file formats. Sorry for the (hopefully small)
inconvenience!.

Enjoy!
