hexyl/CHANGELOG.md

# unreleased

## Features

## Bugfixes

- Argument `--length` silently takes precedence over `--bytes`, see #105

## Other

## Packaging


# v0.8.0

## Features

- A new `--skip <N>` / `-s <N>` option can be used to skip the first `N` bytes of the input, see #16, #88 (@Tarnadas, @MaxJohansen, @ErichDonGubler)
- The `--length`/`--bytes`/`--skip`/`--display-offset` options can now take units for their value argument, for example:
  ``` bash
  hexyl /dev/random --length=1KiB
  hexyl $(which hexyl) --skip=1MiB --length=10KiB
  ```
  Both decimal SI prefixes (kB, MB, …) as well as binary IEC prefixes (KiB, MiB, …) are supported.
  In addition, there is a new `--block-size <SIZE>` option that can be used to control the size of the `block`
  unit:
  ``` bash
  hexyl /dev/random --block-size=4kB --length=2block
  ```
  See: #44 (@ErichDonGubler and @aswild)
