This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by
appending ".sig" to the URL.
Changes in version 1.6:
* A major code reorganization has been undertaken.
* This version skips faster over damaged areas after two consecutive
errors have been encountered.
* A new pass has been added that trims error areas backward before
splitting.
* Support for sparse writes to the output file has been added.
* Blocks longer than sector size are now split at sector boundaries.
* The new option "--fill" has been added.
* The new chapter "Fill Mode" has been added to the manual.
* A "current status" line has been added to the logfile.
* This version can resume an interrupted retry pass instead of
reinitiating it.
* This version achieves perfect resumability if interrupted during
trimming or splitting.
* Handle also SIGHUP and SIGTERM (like SIGINT) to allow clean interrupt
on connection loss or system shutdown.
* The "--quiet" option also quiets error messages.
* Print a more informative error message when reading an old logfile.
* A note has been added to the manual about old logfiles.
* Consistency checks have been added to detect possible bugs.
Please send bug reports and suggestions to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Regards,
Antonio Diaz, GNU ddrescue author and maintainer.
