- 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.
