• [feature] The function decorated by CacheRegion.cache_on_arguments()
  now includes a set() method, in addition to the existing
  invalidate() method. Like invalidate(), it accepts
  a set of function arguments, but additionally accepts as the
  first positional argument a new value to place in the cache,
  to take the place of that key. Courtesy Antoine Bertin.

• [bug] Fixed bug in DBM backend whereby if an error occurred
  during the "write" operation, the file lock, if enabled,
  would not be released, thereby deadlocking the app.

• [bug] The util.function_key_generator() used by the
  function decorator no longer coerces non-unicode
  arguments into a Python unicode object on Python 2.x;
  this causes failures on backends such as DBM which
  on Python 2.x apparently require bytestrings. The
  key_mangler is still needed if actual unicode arguments
  are being used by the decorated function, however.

• [feature] DBM backend has "fallback" when calling dbm.get() to
  instead use dictionary access + KeyError, in the case
  that the "gdbm" backend is used which does not include
  .get(). Courtesy Jon Rosebaugh.
