[Sqlgrey-users] RELEASE: 1.5.3 on SF

[Lionel B. <lio...@bo...>]

Hi,

1.5.3 is out on sourceforge.

The database cleanup is now done in a separate process forked each time 
sqlgrey thinks it should cleanup the database.

If you have busy servers and the cleanup takes more time than you want 
Postfix to wait (see your logs unless you set 'quiet' in sqlgrey.conf), 
you may want to try this one.

Note to Gentoo users:
a new, much improved ebuild is available for 1.5.x releases, check the 
web page for a link and try it out (and look for the bug entry 
requesting its inclusion in Portage - enter ALL sqlgrey in the search 
box of bugs.gentoo.org - and add a comment :-)).

As forking comes with some nasty gotchas, please send WORKSFORME reports 
for this release. The forked process doesn't do much and the thing lives 
happily for more than 24hours on my MX but I had to take some 
precautions (look at the forked_cleanup function in the code) because 
SQLgrey now needs to create and destroy a second database connection, so 
you never know...

Lionel.
