It has a Gentoo compatibility update, a man page update, a summary display update, and a libmhash initialization fix. Termination latency with active status display is reduced. There is a fix for -q suppressing the output of -H.


Changes: A fix for an assertion failure in network mode when compiled for 64-bit architectures.
