Changes in version 1.14:

The new option "-R, --reverse", which reverses direction of copy
operations, has been added.

The new option "-E, --max-error-rate", which stops ddrescue when the
error size grows too fast (in Bytes/s), has been added.

The syntax of option "--max-errors" has been extended to specify new
errors (--max-errors=+N).

The short name of option "--retrim" has been changed to "-M".

A spurious warning about "preallocation not available" has been fixed.

Comment 8 Account closed by user 2012-03-15 13:48:38 UTC
Changes in version 1.15:

The new option "-a, --min-read-rate" has been added.

The new option "-I, --verify-input-size" has been added.

The new option "-x, --extend-outfile" has been added.

Ddrescue now verifies that infile, outfile and logfile are all
different.

Non-tried blocks are now read aligned to cluster-size sectors.

The "split or skip" algorithm of the split pass has been improved.

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.

Comment 9 Michal Ambroz 2012-05-12 17:29:08 UTC
Hello guys,
please could you consider upgrading ddrescue to the upstream version?
Or you can approve me as co-maintainer and I will do the update in the git.

hi Michal,

maybe you also are interested in dd_rescue, another flavor of the same tool. Also "orphan": https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=807220

Comment 11 Susi Lehtola 2012-05-13 00:21:41 UTC
The maintainer seems to be quite unresponsive. IIRC I did the 1.13 update to address a long-standing FTBFS issue.

Please start

Comment 12 Michal Ambroz 2012-05-20 22:39:40 UTC
Hello Andreas,
do you still aim to maintain the ddrescue package?

Comment 13 Upstream Release Monitoring 2012-06-12 12:19:49 UTC
Latest upstream release: 1.16
Current version in Fedora Rawhide: 1.13

Comment 14 Account closed by user 2012-06-12 12:28:47 UTC
Changes in version 1.16:

The new option "-K, --skip-size" has been added.

The new option "-T, --timeout", which sets the maximum time allowed
since the last successful read, has 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), rounded to the next multiple of sector size.

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 option "-v, --verbose" now increases verbosity if repeated.

Initial skip size is now shown at verbosity level 1 and above.

Most user-defined parameters are now shown at verbosity level 2 and
above.

Verbosity level 2 and above adds two lines of initial status showing
current position, current sector, and size of last block in logfile.

Quote characters in messages have been changed as advised by GNU Coding
Standards.

Configure option "--datadir" has been renamed to "--datarootdir" to
follow GNU Standards.

Comment 21 Michal Ambroz 2012-08-02 22:37:08 UTC
Hello SCM team,
it seems based on the previous request I was granted the commit rights (thank you), but I didn't became second owner of the package. I probably was not clear enough in the request.

Please can you set me second owner of the package?

I already went through the procedure to take over the package.

Comment 22 Gwyn Ciesla 2012-08-03 02:46:35 UTC
There isn't such a concept as second owner in pkgdb, simply owner and
comaintainers.
