Changes for version 5.98 - 2017-10-04

  • removed "portable" mode from shasum and addfile
    • rarely used, mostly in outdated systems
    • potentially confusing features (e.g. \r\r\n -> \n)
    • Universal Newlines mode (-U) a much cleaner approach
      • mimics Universal Newlines in Python
  • shasum now uses Digest::SHA explicitly
    • no longer loads Digest::SHA::PurePerl as an option
      • hence no need for -R switch
    • Digest::SHA::PurePerl has its own shasum: shasumpp
