     piping to grep -v SAME (Ben Walton)
   - New option --trace to debug pkgadd/pkgrm operations (Yann Rouillard)
   - Replaced some system commands with native Perl
   - New option --config for using custom configuration file (Don Jackson)
   - Fix size formatting
   - Skip showing pkgadd patch when using -V on 5.11 (Dennis Clarke)
   - Update credits in perldoc/man page

   - Chkcat now includes more tests (Derek Whayman)
   - Chkcat exit values are 0 for OK, 1 for warning and 2 for error
