Release Notes: 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.
Release Notes: Ddrescue is now part of the GNU project. A configure script and info file have been added. Two small bugs have been corrected. A new option "binary-prefixes" has been added to show binary multipliers in numbers (SI prefixes are used by default). Numbers are now accepted with decimal (SI) or binary multipliers. "badblocks file" has been renamed to "logfile". The log file is now saved if max_errors is exceeded.

Release Notes: The new "no-split" option has been added to achieve a fast recovery of the undamaged part of the file by disabling the splitting of damaged areas.
Release Notes: If a badblocks file is used, ddrescue now can be interrupted at any time and will be able to resume rescue at the same point later.
Release Notes: Skipping over damaged areas is now done more quickly. The error messages have been improved.
Release Notes: The badblocks file is now also saved if ddrescue is interrupted while splitting damaged areas. A man page has been added.
Release Notes: The project name has been changed to ddrescue to meet GNU command name standards. Long option names have been added.
Release Notes: dd_rescue can now read or write a list of bad blocks from or to a file, making the rescue much more efficient.
Release Notes: Sometimes, the last sectors of a damaged area were ignored. The algorithm is now faster in the presence of errors.
