+- Update to version 1.27:
+  * Allow to do 512b direct IO (which is possible in latest Linux kernels).
+    Change posix_memalign() variable assignment. It has a number of fixes; most
+    importantly, when exiting because of an error, it updates the variables
+    that are output. dd_rescue now avoids special characters in the logfile. It
+    handles situations gracefully, where wrong positions resulted in the
+    progress graph causing faults. Some come from illegal input (negative
+    offset ...), which is now detected.
