Jacksum 1.6.0 released!

The major changes in this release are as follows:

Twelve new algorithms are supported: CRC-8, CRC-24, GOST R 34.11-94, SHA-0, SHA-224, Tiger-128, Tiger-160, Tiger2, Whirlpool-0, Whirlpool-2, RIPEMD-256, RIPEMD-320. Jacksum is also able to check the integrity, even a file list has not been created
by Jacksum. Fingerprints can be not only encoded hexadecimal but also Base16, Base32, Base64 and BubbleBabble. Hex values can be grouped by bytes for better readability. Option -e works also for multiple files and directories for being able to find duplicates. The working directory can be set by commandline. Options are available for redirecting the output to a file rather than the standard output/error.
A verbosed output is possible now to get a summary which also helps to compare the performance of algorithms easier. Both the API and the documentation has been updated. Collision example files are available and javadoc can be created. The help on the commandline is much more user friendly.
All bugs have been fixed which were detected during the last ten months. Jacksum has also been tested sucessfully with latest free JVMs like Kaffe and gij.
