Breaking changes
Redis
I am now using redis to overcome the limitations of SQLite.
This also means that any setup before will be broken by this update.
If you want to save the hashes to a database then you can use the saveToSqlite option.
New features
New hashing algorithms
MurmurHash is considerably faster than MD5 and XxHash is even faster than MurmurHash when tested on mixed file sizes.
Buffer size
The buffer size of the two new hashing algorithms can be configured with a commandline option.
The default value is 4096 bytes. Higher values are recommended for faster drives.
Progress bar
The program finally has a progress bar so one will know how far along the checksumming process is.
