It was there in 0.1.1 as well, unfortunately I missed it when I sent
the original patch because my systems had mksquashfs available and I
didn't catch this until later so I was hoping to correct it now. The
0.2 changes are described here:
https://github.com/rauc/rauc/blob/master/CHANGES and are mainly bug
fixes and minor (though certainly worthwhile) improvements.
