1.0.1 (?/??/2015):
------------------
+- OS X 10.11 includes new security features that prevent GPT fdisk from
+ working unless these features are disabled. To do so, you must boot to a
+ Recovery HD system, open a Terminal, type "csrutil disable", and reboot
+ into the normal system. You can re-enable the security features by
+ repeating the process, but specify "enable" rather than "disable". If you
+ know of a way around this (including code changes to gdisk), please
+ contact me.
+
+- I've updated my OS X environment to OS X 10.11 and LLVM 7.0.0. This has
+ also meant installing fresh versions of popt and ncurses from MacPorts,
+ which may require upgrading popt to get sgdisk working on some systems.
+ (gdisk, cgdisk, and fixparts should continue to work normally on all
+ systems.) The OS X binaries are now "fat" (32- and 64-bit) versions,
+ which should have no noticeable effect unless you have a Mac with broken
+ 32-bit support, in which case the binaries will now work.
+
+- Changed the default name of 0xab00 partitions from "Apple boot" to
+ "Recovery HD", since the latter is the name that Apple gives these
+ partitions. Also, I discovered through painful experience that OS X
+ flakes out and won't boot if the name is something other than "Recovery
+ HD", so it really has to have the right name!

- Changed the OpenBSD type codes (0xa600 and 0xa601): 0xa600 is now
824CC7A0-36A8-11E3-890A-952519AD3F61 (OpenBSD disklabel) and 0xa601 is
now gone. Previously, 0xa600 was 516E7CB4-6ECF-11D6-8FF8-00022D09712B, a
