Subject: [Announce] sg3_utils-1.41 available

sg3_utils is a package of command line utilities for sending
SCSI and some ATA commands to devices. This package targets
the Linux 4, 3, 2.6 and 2.4 kernel series. It has ports to
FreeBSD, Tru64, Solaris, and Windows (cygwin and MinGW).

There is one new utility (sg_zone) and additions to many
others, see the ChangeLog below. This version tracks various
changes made by www.t10.org since November 2014 until May
2015.
