Version 1.8 is out now! Please update, since there are major improvements. Changes in version 1.6: * A major code reorganization has been undertaken. * This version skips faster over damaged areas after two consecutive errors have been encountered. * A new pass has been added that trims error areas backward before splitting. * Support for sparse writes to the output file has been added. * Blocks longer than sector size are now split at sector boundaries. * The new option "--fill" has been added. * The new chapter "Fill Mode" has been added to the manual. * A "current status" line has been added to the logfile. * This version can resume an interrupted retry pass instead of reinitiating it. * This version achieves perfect resumability if interrupted during trimming or splitting. * Handle also SIGHUP and SIGTERM (like SIGINT) to allow clean interrupt on connection loss or system shutdown. * The "--quiet" option also quiets error messages. * Print a more informative error message when reading an old logfile. * A note has been added to the manual about old logfiles. * Consistency checks have been added to detect possible bugs.
Changes in version 1.7: * This version skips very fast over damaged areas. * This version maintains the logfile minimized at all times, improving efficiency. * The error count now shows the number of error areas found, irrespective of their sizes. * When splitting, this version jumps to the next non-split area after two consecutive errors have been encountered in the current one. * Target "check" has been added to Makefile. * The new option "--retrim" has been added. Changes in version 1.8: * The new option "--generate-logfile" has been added. * The new option "--synchronous" has been added. * Fill mode now works when outfile offset differs from 0. * The chapter "Fill Mode" of the manual has been updated. -- 2 new upstream versions of ddrescue released on summer 2007, please update Ubuntu packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/133158 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
