Changes for version 5.98 - 2017-10-04

  • Digest::SHA::PurePerl now has its own shasum
    • renamed to shasumpp
    • depends explicitly on Digest::SHA::PurePerl
    • no longer makes use of Digest::SHA if present
      • hence no need for -R option
  • removed "portable" mode from shasumpp 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    • rarely used, mostly in outdated systems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
