This release focuses some attention on Identify(), which has a slightly modified signature; please adjust programs accordingly. It can now accept any io.Reader and no longer requires Seek(); however, it returns three values including a new Reader that can re-read the buffered bytes consumed during identification. Callers should use that returned Reader after calling Identify().
