As an end of the year gift to the multivalue community, Don M and Mark B are happy to announce version 1.0 of SD, the multivalue string database. This release contains various bug fixes and new features. We have moved the install and delete scripts into their own repository.  The install script now handles everything needed to install SD on Fedora and Debian/Ubuntu based distros.  In addition, much better error trapping has been added.

Mark has fixed several outstanding bugs in the core SD code base. Included are fixes for the termio.h problem and consistency in OS level file naming . He also has added many new functions for embedded python.  PROC is now supported and TAPE and ACCOUNT.RESTORE functionality is available as an optional feature, and there is better handling of Messages.  The repositories are:

https://github.com/stringdatabase/sdb64
https://github.com/stringdatabase/sd-scripts

If you are a developer, clone or download the sdb64 repository.

You can download the install and delete scripts from the GitHub sd-scripts repository or download a zip file containing the two scripts at:

https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZsk7x5ZpwWPPooCElf8waiNp03rJQGV61yV

To install SD, just download the zip file, extract the scripts, make the scripts executable if needed and then run installsd.sh.  The installer will handle installation of required packages, downloading and compiling of source, installation of SD into the proper directories and deletion of the temporary files.

Thank you Don & Mark.  I will definitely grab this and import an
application system and some data accounts (POS for dry cleaning).   I'll
give it a whirl on Ubuntu.
