ChangeLog

The version number is hard-coded into src/ddpt.c (in a C string);
the rpm spec file: ddpt.spec ; the debian/changelog file;
and the configure.ac file (in the AC_INIT item).

Changelog for pre-release ddpt-0.98 [20231125] [svn: r415]
  - add coe=2 for skip and zero output of rest of segment;
    useful for flash that has elements (e.g. 16 KB long) of
    sequential bad blocks. Retrying 1 at a time is tiresome
  - support iflag=random
  - xcopy: tweak CSCD identification descriptor
  - point svn:externals to sg3_utils revision 1068
  - netbsd: experimental port, scsi only
  - remove the intermediate files generated by ./autogen.sh
    - this reduces size of svn and git repositories but still
      plan to have these intermediate files in release tarballs
  - add boostrap script that just calls ./autogen.sh

Changelog for released ddpt-0.97 [20210421] [svn: r388]
  - ddpt: add cdl operand for command duration limits
  - ddpt: add oflag=nocreat and conv=nocreat that require
    OFILE to exist, it won't be created

    has not been used (it is required according to SBC-4)
  - ddpt: cdbsz= operand can now take 2 comma-separated numbers
  - NVMe devices can now be accessed via iflag=pt or oflag=pt
    without those flags they will be accessed as block devices

    status=progress [borrowed from FreeBSD's dd]
  - fix progress reporting when OFILE is /dev/null
  - start using autoconf 2.70
