version 1.8.6

Changes since 1.8.5:

  • update_mmap and update_mmap_rayon (and by extension b3sum) now
    use seek rather than metadata to get the length of a file/mapping,
    and they tolerate mmap failures. That means b3sum will now memory
    map e.g. Linux block devices, which support mapping despite reporting
    length 0 in metadata. Hashing NUL files on Windows also works now,
    where previously it was an error unless you used --no-mmap or <.
    This change was originally proposed by @nabijaczleweli.
