======================================================================== scrub-1.9 Release Notes 2007-03-20 ======================================================================== * Added -r option to remove file after scrub [Sean Morrison]. * Port to HP-UX [Graham Smith, Joseph Sebastin]. * Raise default blocksize to 1MB for performance [Graham Smith]. * Added support for K, M, or G size suffix to -b argument. * Fix broken -s parsing on 32 bit systems. ======================================================================== scrub-1.8 Release Notes 2006-08-16 ======================================================================== * Fixed bug where disk device size would be truncated if greater than 4G [Florian Heigl]. * Added support for K, M, or G size suffix to -s argument. * Added support for automatic device size determination in AIX [Dave Fox]. * Do not fsync special files [Dave Fox, Florian Heigl]. * Added support for patterns recommended by the German Center of Security in Information Technologies (http://www.bsi.bund.de) [Florian Heigl]. * Write a signature to files/disks after scrubbing and refuse to scrub them again without -f (force) option. Signature writing can be disabled with the -S option. ======================================================================== scrub-1.7 Release Notes 2006-02-14 ======================================================================== NOTE: This version is a significant rewrite since version 1.6. Major changes in addition to general cleanup and better documentation: * The new default scrub patterns satisfy NNSA Policy Letter NAP-14.x, and are appropriate for modern PRML/EPRML drive encodings. The old scrub patterns as well as a set of patterns that minimally satisfy DoD 5220.22-M (still appropriate for older MFM/RLL drives) are selectable on the command line (-p). * The algorithm for generating random bytes has been made more efficient and more random using an AES counter mode algorithm. * Device capacity is determined using OS-specific ioctls. The size is overrideable on the command line (-s). * [Mac OS X only] A file's resource fork is scrubbed if it exists.
