- decimal values now accepted for rate and size, eg "-L 1.23M"
- on the final update, blank out the now-zero ETA
- use lockfiles if terminal locking fails
- code cleanup & bug fixes
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.

pv (Pipe Viewer) is a terminal-based tool for monitoring the progress of
data through a pipeline. It can be inserted into any normal pipeline between
two processes to give a visual indication of how quickly data is passing
through, how long it has taken, how near to completion it is, and an
estimate of how long it will be until completion.
