This package targets the Linux 3, 2.6 and 2.4 kernel series. It also has ports to FreeBSD, Tru64, Solaris, and Windows (cygwin and mingw). Mainly small changes and fixes in this version including several contributed additions to sg_xcopy. There is also improved handling of 64 bit LUNs which may facilitate full 64 bit LUN support being added to the Linux kernel. This version tracks various changes made by www.t10.org since January 2013.
