Revision history for Perl module Digest::SHA::PurePerl.
6.02 Fri Apr 20 16:25:30 MST 2018
- modified addfile to return error when given a directory name
-- makes behavior consistent with GNU coreutils shaXsum
-- thanks to Scott Baker for pointing this out
6.01 Mon Dec 25 00:08:08 MST 2017
- added "--ignore-missing" and "--strict" options to shasumpp
-- consistent with GNU coreutils
-- ref. rt.cpan.org #123897
6.00 Fri Dec 8 22:44:44 MST 2017
- added "tag" option (BSD-style checksums) to shasumpp
-- consistent with GNU sha1sum, sha224sum, etc.
-- thanks to Christopher Tubbs for suggestion
- decoupled Digest::SHA::PurePerl and Digest::SHA
-- scripts/tests in each module now fully independent
-- Digest::SHA::PurePerl to be phased out eventually
-- past versions will remain available
5.98 Wed Oct 4 00:40:02 MST 2017
- 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-- rarely used, mostly in outdated systems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
