+- Update to release 1.30
+  * Improved reading/positioning mechanism for hard disks with a
+    dead head
+  * Added a new option ``-N``/``--no-sweep``, which disables the
+    reading of skipped areas. The short name ``-N`` has been
+    reassigned from option ``--no-trim`` to option ``--no-sweep``.
+    Option ``--no-trim`` is no longer recommended because trimming
+    has now a higher probability of finding good data.
+  * Pass 2 now copies only the blocks adjacent to at least one
+    finished block. The trimming pass now trims only the edges
+    adjacent to a finished block. The goal is to delimit the bad
+    area as a whole.
+  * The initial skip size now defaults to ``infile_size / 32_768``
+    instead of ``infile_size / 100_000``.
+  * Added a new option ``-H``/``--make-test``, which creates a
+    mapfile for the test mode of ddrescue based on the disc
+    geometry given.

+
+- update to 1.29:
+  * The new option `--continue-on-errno` has been added.
+  * If ddrescue exits because of a fatal read error, it now prints
+    the value of the variable `errno` so that it can be used as
+    argument to `--continue-on-errno`.
+  * When using `--ask` and `--verbose`, print rescue options before
+    asking user.
+  * Option `--log-reads` now records the value of errno if
+    different from EIO.
+  * The effect of option `-O`/`--reopen-on-error` has been extended
+    to all phases.
+  * It has been documented in the manual that `--reopen-on-error`
+    may be needed when using `--continue-on-errno`.
+  * The chapter "Syntax of command-line arguments" has been added
+    to the manual.
+  * Two examples of combined use with lziprecover have been added
+    to the manual. (One of them uses the new Forward Error
+    Correction (FEC) feature of lziprecover).
+  * It has been documented in the manual that option `-b` of
+    ddrescuelog is position dependent.
