v2.0.0

• The encoding of text checksum files that start with a Unicode BOM is auto detected.
• Python 2.3 is now the minimum supported version.
• Decode the torrent comment field too.
• Changed handling of -f: Now all options are checked before testing/creating the file. (Benjamin Hohl)

• Support for GNU coreutils sha224sum, sha256sum, sha384sum and sha512sum formats.
• New project home: https://github.com/cfv-project/cfv
