version 0.3.40.3.4
Changes since 0.3.3: - `b3sum` now supports the `--check` flag. This is intended to be a drop-in replacement for e.g. `md5sum --check` from Coreutils. The behavior is somewhat stricter than Coreutils with respect to invalid Unicode in filenames. For a complete description of how `--check` works, see the file `b3sum/what_does_check_do.md`. - To support the `--check` feature, backslashes and newlines that appear in filenames are now escaped in the output of `b3sum`. This is done the same way as in Coreutils. - To support `--check` interoperability between Unix and Windows, backslashes in filepaths on Windows are now replaced with forward slashes in the output of `b3sum`. Note that this is different from Coreutils.
