Version 1.0 of GNU ddrescue released

[Antonio Diaz Diaz]

I am pleased to announce the release of GNU ddrescue 1.0.

GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool.

The homepage is at http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html.

The sources can be dowloaded from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/ddrescue/ or
from your favorite GNU mirror.

The md5sum is:
0acd5df3f860eba20c01f317b40b8516  ddrescue-1.0.tar.bz2

This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by
appending ".sig" to the URL.

Changes in version 1.0:

* A new logfile format makes multi-part rescue possible.

* The logfile is saved to disc every 30 seconds. So in case of
  a crash you can resume the rescue with little recopying.

* The logfile is now also saved in case of write error on the outfile.

* A race condition that could result in data not written to outfile but
  annotated in logfile if computer crashes at the wrong moment has been
  fixed.

* The GPL has been updated to version 2.3.


Please send bug reports and suggestions to <address@hidden>.


Regards,
Antonio Diaz, GNU ddrescue author and maintainer.
