+- Update to version 1.25:
+  * Fix for spurious "Success" messages that resulted from overwritten
+    (cleared) errno. Bad blocks are formatted in a way that they are not
+    overwritten on screen and block numbers are output as unsigned.
+- Removed dd_rhelp from the package (dd_rhelp will become a separate package. A
+  recommended entry for dd_rhelp was added in dd_rescue).
+- Spec file updates:
+  * Updated License: to "GPL-2.0 or GPL-3.0".
+  * Removed bc from BuildRequires: (not needed since dd_rhelp was removed).
