I am pleased to announce the release of GNU ddrescue 1.13.
GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool.
The homepage is at http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html.
The sources can be downloaded from http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/ddrescue/ or
from your favorite GNU mirror.
This version is also available in lzip format. If your distro doesn't
yet distribute the lzip program, you can download it from
http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip.html
The md5sums are:
0afc4130882a993772385629d1c0a32e ddrescue-1.13.tar.gz
00cd788fbd6bc5a6205c3199f7557fda ddrescue-1.13.tar.lz
This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by
appending ".sig" to the URL.
Changes in version 1.13:
* Non-regular output files are no more overwritten by default.
* The option "--force", which forces overwriting of non-regular
output files has been added.
* The option "--preallocate", which preallocates space on disc for
the output file has been added.
* The command line used is now written to the logfile as information
for the user.
* Even more warnings have been added to the tutorial in the manual.
* Revert to use "long" instead of "time_t" for time variables.
Ddrescue only needs counting seconds and "time_t" causes warnings on
some systems.
Please send bug reports and suggestions to bug-ddres...@gnu.org
Regards,
Antonio Diaz, GNU ddrescue author and maintainer.
