I am pleased to announce the release of GNU ddrescue 1.14.
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/
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/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:
d6f6cc63df9ad352bc6e43b65c975af5 ddrescue-1.14.tar.gz
122d628c884a170659ac4c227cc484bc ddrescue-1.14.tar.lz
This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by
appending ".sig" to the URL.
Changes in version 1.14:
* The new option "-R, --reverse", which reverses direction of copy
operations, has been added.
* The new option "-E, --max-error-rate", which stops ddrescue when
the error size grows too fast (in Bytes/s), has been added.
* The syntax of option "--max-errors" has been extended to specify
new errors (--max-errors=+N).
* The short name of option "--retrim" has been changed to "-M".
* A spurious warning about "preallocation not available" has been fixed.
Please send bug reports and suggestions to bug-ddres...@gnu.org
If you are packaging ddrescue for a distribution, please, try to use the
lzipped source tarball, as this can improve the support for the lzip
format in packaging systems[1][2]. Thanks.
