1.6.20 - 12 September 2021 - fix: add missing stddef.h include to number.c (Sam James) 1.6.19 - 5 September 2021 - fix: starting pv in the background no longer immediately stops unless the transfer is to/from the terminal (Andriy Gapon, Jonathan Elchison) - fix: using -B, -A, or -T now switches on -C implicitly (Johannes Gerer, André Stapf) - fix: AIX build fixes (Peter Korsgaard) - i18n: updated German "--help" translations (Richard Fonfara) - i18n: switched to UTF-8 encoding, added missing translations (de,fr,pt) - docs: new "common switches" manual section (Jacek Wielemborek) - docs: use placeholder instead of /dev/sda in the manual (Pranav Peshwe) - docs: mention MacOS pipes and "-B 1024" in the manual (Jan Venekamp) - docs: correct shell in autoconf/scripts/index.sh (Juan Picca) - cleanup: various compiler warnings cleaned up Full changelog is below: - (r181) added common switches section to manual (Jacek Wielemborek) - (r184) use placeholder instead of /dev/sda in the manual (Pranav Peshwe) - (r185) replace ash with sh in autoconf/scripts/index.sh (Juan Picca) - (r185) added note to manual about "-B 1024" in MacOS pipes (Jan Venekamp) - (r185) fix AIX config check when the CWD contains "yes" (Peter Korsgaard) - (r189) (#1556) updated German "--help" translations (Richard Fonfara) - (r189) updated missing German translations and changed to UTF-8 encoding - (r191) updated missing French translations and changed to UTF-8 encoding - (r193) updated missing Portuguese translations, changed to UTF-8 encoding - (r196) (#1563) using -B, -A, or -T now switches on -C implicitly (Johannes Gerer, André Stapf) - (r199) fixed numerous compiler warnings in newer GCC versions - (r200,205) fixed bug where "pv /dev/zero >/dev/null &" stopped immediately (Jonathan Elchison, Andriy Gapon) - (r203,205) marked unused arguments with GCC unused attribute, started using boolean data type for flags, corrected more compiler warnings 1.6.6 - 30 June 2017 - (r161) use %llu instead of %Lu for better compatibility (Eric A.
