v1.7.0

In this release, fwup verifies writes to raw devices. Regular files are not
verified unless forced with the --verify-writes option. Writes are verified as
they're written. Since the final write with fwup firmware updates is usually
to toggle the active partition, corruption can fail an update before the toggle
occurs.

• New features

  • Writes verification on raw devices. This may be forced with
    --verify-writes or disabled with --no-verify-writes.
  • The boot option works for GPT partitions now. boot=true will set the GPT
    attribute flags appropriately. Since the archive creation process replaces
    the boot parameter with raw flags, older versions of fwup can apply
    updates that use this.

• Bug fixes

  • After a write error was detected, fwup would continue to try to write a
    few more blocks before exiting. Now it no longer writes after an error. An
    on-error handle can perform a write, but it will start from a clean slate
    now.
