Changelog for gnu_ddrescue-debugsource-1.20-2.3.x86_64.rpm :

* Fri Sep 11 2015 mpluskalAATTsuse.com- 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.- Update download url
* Sat Oct 11 2014 jengelhAATTinai.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 2014 jengelhAATTinai.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 2013 jengelhAATTinai.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 2012 jengelhAATTinai.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 2012 jengelhAATTmedozas.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 06 2011 jengelhAATTmedozas.de- Initial package
