I am pleased to announce the release of GNU ddrescue 1.15.
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:
6b445f6246074a7fa02f3b2599031096 ddrescue-1.15.tar.gz
c0566c2648c3738390a8dda2f37a9824 ddrescue-1.15.tar.lz
This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by
appending ".sig" to the URL.
Changes in version 1.15:
* The new option "-a, --min-read-rate" has been added.
* The new option "-I, --verify-input-size" has been added.
* The new option "-x, --extend-outfile" has been added.
* Ddrescue now verifies that infile, outfile and logfile are all
different.
* Non-tried blocks are now read aligned to cluster-size sectors.
* The "split or skip" algorithm of the split pass has been improved.
* A spurious warning about "-D" being ignored in fill mode has been
removed.
* Ddrescuelog, a tool for manipulation, display, conversion,
comparison and testing of ddrescue logfiles, has been added.
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. Thanks.
Regards,
Antonio Diaz, GNU ddrescue author and maintainer.
