Changes in release 4.1:
[4.0g]
+* New large-file support for AIX and HP-UX, and for cross-compiles.
+* shred's default options are now suitable for devices, not files, since
+ shred is more reliable on devices. shred now does not remove by default;
+ the old -p or --preserve option was inverted and renamed to -u or --remove.
+* shred -u now attempts to truncate devices before removing them.
+* shred -v no longer outputs carriage-returns; shred -vv has no extra effect;
+ shred -v now outputs to stderr.
+* shred now tries to find the size of a non-regular file by seeking to its end.
* dd now opens the output file for *read* access only if `seek=' is used.
[4.0f]
* `ls --color' no longer segfaults
