-Version: 2.9.01;
+Version: 2.9.02;
 Patch Version: 00;
 Script Date: 2018-03-20;
 -----------------------------------
 Changes:
 -----------------------------------
+First small patch fix, corrected a few issues, one for apt deb822 output formatting, 
+and a small bug for blank files there.
 
+Second, made the --output error message more clear for bad file structure now lists
+the 3 requirements: must be full path, must be writeable directory, and must have 
+a file in it. 
+
+Third, another subtle thing, after a lot of research, am trying the MiB GiB format 
+because it's technically more accurate and less ambiguous than GB, which is used 
+either to refer to 1000 bite blocks OR to 1024 blocks, depending on the platform etc.
+
+So rather than hope people get it, trying that slightly more wordy format, and maybe
+if people wonder what it is.
