sg3_utils-1.20 available

sg3_utils is a package of command line utilities for sending SCSI (and some ATA) commands to devices. This package targets the linux kernel (lk) 2.6 and lk 2.4 series. In the lk 2.6 series these utilities (except sgp_dd) can be used with any devices that support the SG_IO ioctl.
A subset of the utilities in this package will build on FreeBSD and Tru64.

In this version the sg_dd, sgp_dd, sgm_dd, and sg_read utilities have been cleaned up and expanded. sg_scan and sg_map are now more robust when used with 2.6 kernels. SAS (SSP) support has been improved. Various bugs have been fixed. See the CHANGELOG for more information.
