------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 * The splitting phase has been replaced by a "scraping" phase that scrapes together the data not recovered by the copying or trimming phases.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. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Mar 6 13:35:24 UTC 2011 - jengelh@medozas.de - Initial package
