Fri Sep 11 20:00:37 UTC 2015 - mpluskal@suse.com

- Update to 1.20
  * "logfile" has been renamed to "mapfile" everywhere, even in long option
    names. ("--domain-logfile" is now "--domain-mapfile", etc).
  * The short name of option "--synchronous" has been changed to "-y".
  * The long name of option "-d" has been changed to "--idirect".
  * The new option "-D, --odirect" has been added. This introduces a subtle
    backward incompatibility because "-D" was the short name of option
    "--synchronous".
  * The new option "-J, --verify-on-error" has been added. It verifies,
    after each read error, that the input device is still returning
    consistent data.
  * The new option "--max-read-rate" has been added.
  * "direct disc access" now can copy arbitrary domains by reading whole
    sectors and writing only the requested part.
  * Accounting change; only bad_sector blocks are now included in "errsize".
  * The estimated remaining rescue time is now shown on the screen.
  * Times are now shown in days, hours, minutes and seconds, instead of as a
    fraction of the appropriate unit.
  * Fill mode has been extended to write location data into each sector.
  * An emergency save of the mapfile has been added. It can be activated in
    case of ddrescue having trouble writing the mapfile.
  * Device name is now shown with "--ask" or "-vv" on Haiku.
  * Read-only mapfiles, like domain mapfiles or input mapfiles for
    ddrescuelog, can now be read from standard input if a hyphen '-' is used
    as mapfile name.
  * Ddrescuelog can now show the status of more than one mapfile.
  * "ddrescuelog --create-mapfile -" now writes the mapfile to standard output.
  * The new chapter "Optical media" has been added to the manual.
  * The configure option "--enable-linux" has been renamed to
    "--enable-non-posix".
  * The targets "install-compress", "install-strip-compress",
    "install-info-compress" and "install-man-compress" have been added to
    the Makefile.

Sat Oct 11 13:59:40 UTC 2014 - jengelh@inai.de

- Update to new upstream release 1.19
* A race condition at start of run with "--timeout=0" has been
  fixed.
* The new option -P (--data-preview) which makes ddrescue show a
  few lines of the latest data read, has been added.
* The new option -u (--unidirectional), which runs all passes in
  the same direction (forwards or backwards), has been added.
* The new option -X (--exit-on-error), which makes ddrescue exit
  after the first read error is encountered during the copying
  phase, has been added.
* New options --ask, --cpass, --pause were added.
* The option -l (--logfile-size) has been removed.
* Ddrescue now skips on the first error during the copying phase.
* Trimming is now done in one pass and may be run in reverse.
* The splitting phase has been replaced by a "scraping" phase that
  scrapes together the data not recovered by the copying or trimming
  phases. Scraping reads each non-scraped block forwards, one sector
  at a time.
* The long name of option "-n" has been changed to "--no-scrape".
* During the retrying phase, the direction is now reversed after
  each pass. Use --unidirectional to override.
* The license has been changed to GPL version 2 or later.
- Remove %gpg_verify; verification is now handled by
  source validator.

Thu Jun 12 12:06:50 UTC 2014 - jengelh@inai.de

- Update to new upstream release 1.18.1
* A bug has been fixed in the "or" and "xor" operations of
  ddrescuelog.
* New "-H, --test-mode", "-L, --loose-domain", "-N, --no-trim",
  "-O, --reopen-on-error", "-1, --log-rates", and "-2, --log-reads"
  options have been added.
* The "-K, --skip-size" option has been extended.
* If ddrescue is interrupted by a signal, it now terminates by
  raising that signal.
* The algorithm of the copying phase has been changed.
* The "-B, --binary-prefixes", "-C, --complete-logfile", and
  "-P, --compare-as-domain" options have been added to ddrescuelog.
* Many improvements have been made to the documentation.

Tue Jul 16 08:02:33 UTC 2013 - jengelh@inai.de

- Update to new upstream release 1.17
* The new options "-l, --logfile-size", and "-w,
  --ignore-write-errors" have been added.
* Trimming is now done from both edges of each non-trimmed block.
* The largest blocks are trimmed first.
* The largest blocks are now split first until logfile reaches
  "--logfile-size" entries. Ddrescue now terminates with an error
  if an unexpected EOF would discard any successfully-read data.
* ddrescue now automatically adjusts the logfile to shrinking input
  devices, like CD-ROMs written in Track-At-Once mode.
* A bug has been fixed which prevented the status from updating
  after the system clock had been put back.
- Optional signature verification on local builds

Mon Jun 18 22:52:56 UTC 2012 - jengelh@inai.de

- Update to new upstream release 1.16
* The new options "-K, --skip-size" and "-T, --timeout" have been
  added. The short name of option "--try-again" has been changed to
  "-A". Maximum skip size is now limited to 1% of infile size or 1
  GiB (whichever is smaller). The current position is now set to
  the end of the block when reading backwards, allowing perfect
  resumability also in reverse mode. The "-E, --max-error-rate"
  option now checks the rate of actually failed reads, not the
  growth of error size, and shows the error rate in the error
  message. The -v option increases verbosity if repeated.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Thu Jan 12 04:59:50 UTC 2012 - jengelh@medozas.de

- Update to new upstream release 1.15
* The new options "-a, --min-read-rate", "-I, --verify-input-size",
  and "-x, --extend-outfile" have been added.
* ddrescue now verifies that infile, outfile and logfile are all
  different.
* Non-tried blocks are now read aligned to cluster-size sectors.
* 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.
