Sun Aug 18 14:00:00 2013 kurtAATTgarloff.de
- Update to dd_rescue-1.40:

* Copy xattrs on -p/--preserve

* For odd file offsets, do odd-sized write first, so subsequent
writes are aligned.

* Support half-empty block sparse detection and double softbs
default for buffered IO.

* Add a lot more test cases to make check.

Thu Aug 8 14:00:00 2013 kurtAATTgarloff.de
- Update to dd_rescue-1.39:

hardbs==softbs (bnc #833765).

* A little ARM asm speedup (~15%) for sparse detection.

* Clarify help/man page w.r.t. interpretation of -y/--syncfreq.

* We use autoconf for feature detection now.

Fri Aug 2 14:00:00 2013 kurtAATTgarloff.de
- Update to dd_rescue-1.38:

* Further optimized SSE2 sparse detection. (Also added AVX2
version, not enabled by default though.)

* --force allows to ignore non-seekable output with non zero
output position.

* make check does some testing ...

* improved cur.rate and ETA calculation.

Thu Aug 1 14:00:00 2013 kurtAATTgarloff.de

- Update to dd_rescue-1.34:

* Fix compiler warnings, support C++ compilation, and improve
compatibility with xBSD (by only requiring aligned memory
if O_DIRECT is used indeed, using valloc() on xBSD then).

* Support loading libfallocate at runtime (libdl), not used
in OBS RPM though.

* Reverse copy from /dev/zero now auto-adjusts input pos.
