0.5.1

• Fixed patches not being fully applied until GUI exited.
• Fixed disabled GUI if either path couldn't be opened.

  • Flattened file hierarchy in lib/
  • Fixed file names not following snake case convention
  • Fixed test function names not following camelCase convention
  • Moved types coupled to CRC inside CRC
  • Changed tests to automatically test all future CRCs (by using CRC factory)
  • Organized #includes

0.4

• Restored support for CRC16CCITT and CRC16IBM in CLI
• Restored support for calculating CRCs in CLI
• Fixed CLI --help returning 1 instead of 0
• Added optimization flags to build script
• Removed test binaries from distribution in build script
• Further code cleanup:
  • CRC32, CRC16IBM and CRC16CCITT implementations merged into common code
  • Improved CLI error handling
  • Improved progress handling
  • Removed stdin/stdout support leftovers
  • Replaced exit() calls with return statements

0.3.4

• Fixed -p, -i and -o arguments

0.3.3

• Added unit tests using Catch framework

0.3.2

• Fixed broken CRC16CCITT support (even though it's currently unused)

0.3.1

• Fixed build problems

0.3

• Switched to waf build system (replaces shell scripts)
• Switched to Qt

    • improved type system
  • Removed debug macros
• Switched to semantic versioning
• Changed version maintenance to be based on git tags

0.2.6

• Fixed -p argument

0.2.4

• Simplified CLI parameters

0.2.1

• Optimized I/O wrappers (buffer size increased from 1B to 8K)
• Added simple progressbar
• Added support for negative --position
• Changed --help so that it fits to 80 characters
• Improved makefile

0.2

• Wrapped everything in CRC and File classes
