• Now fully unicode aware. Work is done internally in unicode, only translating to encoded form on input/output.
• Added --encoding option.
• Specifying --encoding=raw will allow working with broken filenames. (But really, you should just fix them, if possible.)
• Torrent files now default to UTF-8 filename encoding, and specify the encoding field in the metainfo.
• The encoding of text checksum files that start with a Unicode BOM is auto detected.
• Python 2.3 is now the minimum supported version.
• Decode the torrent comment field too.
• Changed handling of -f: Now all options are checked before testing/creating the file. (Benjamin Hohl)
• Torrent file handling no longer requires BitTorrent client to be installed.
• Support for GNU coreutils sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum and sha512sum formats.
• New project home: https://github.com/cfv-project/cfv
