+- 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
