+- Update to dd_rescue-1.39:
+  * Fix an issue with the last block being appended zeros if
+    hardbs==softbs (bnc #833765).
+  * A little ARM asm speedup (~15%) for sparse detection.
+  * Clarify help/man page w.r.t. interpretation of -y/--syncfreq.
+  * We use autoconf for feature detection now.
+- Build version with libdl by default now.
