 ** New Features

+  cksum now supports the -a (--algorithm) option to select any
+  of the exiting sum, md5sum, b2sum, sha*sum implementations etc.
+  cksum now has the superset functionality of all these utilities,
+  and there will be no future standalone checksumming utilities introduced.
+
   expr and factor now support bignums on all platforms.

   ls --classify now supports the "always", "auto", or "never" flags,
