I am pleased to announce the release of GNU ddrescue 1.29.
GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file or block
device to another, trying to rescue the good parts first in case of read
errors. Ddrescue recommends lziprecover, whose data recovery capabilities
complement those of ddrescue.
The ddrescue package also includes ddrescuelog, an auxiliary tool that
manipulates ddrescue mapfiles, shows mapfile contents, converts mapfiles
to/from other formats, compares mapfiles, tests rescue status, and can
delete a mapfile if the rescue is done.
The homepage is at http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html
The sources can be downloaded from http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/ddrescue/
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/ddrescue/ or from your favorite
GNU mirror.

This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by appending
'.sig' to the URL. If the 'gpg --verify' command fails because you don't
have the required public key, then run this command to import it:
gpg --recv-keys 8FE99503132D7742
Key fingerprint = 1D41 C14B 272A 2219 A739 FA4F 8FE9 9503 132D 7742
Changes in version 1.29:
* The new option '--continue-on-errno' has been added.
* If ddrescue exits because of a fatal read error, it now prints the
value of the variable 'errno' so that it can be used as argument to
'--continue-on-errno'.
* When using '--ask' and '--verbose', rescue options are now printed
before asking user.
* Option '--log-reads' now records the value of errno if different from
EIO. (The four changes above suggested by Christian Franke).
* The effect of option '-O, --reopen-on-error' has been extended to all
phases.
* It has been documented in the manual that '--reopen-on-error' may be
needed when using '--continue-on-errno'.
* A compilation error on FiwixOS 3.3 caused by an ambiguous call to
std::abs has been fixed. (Reported by Jordi Sanfeliu).
* The chapter 'Syntax of command-line arguments' has been added to the
manual.
* Two more examples of combined use with lziprecover have been added to
the manual. (One of them uses the new Forward Error Correction (FEC) feature
of lziprecover).
* It has been documented in the manual that option '-b' of ddrescuelog is
position dependent. (Reported by Winston B. E.).
Please send bug reports and suggestions to bug-ddrescue@gnu.org

Antonio Diaz, GNU ddrescue author and maintainer.
