I am pleased to announce the release of GNU ddrescue 1.13.

GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool.

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

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

This version is also available in lzip format. If your distro doesn't 
yet distribute the lzip program, you can download it from 
http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip.html

The md5sums are:
0afc4130882a993772385629d1c0a32e  ddrescue-1.13.tar.gz
00cd788fbd6bc5a6205c3199f7557fda  ddrescue-1.13.tar.lz

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

Changes in version 1.13:

   * Non-regular output files are no more overwritten by default.

   * The option "--force", which forces overwriting of non-regular 
output files has been added.

   * The option "--preallocate", which preallocates space on disc for 
the output file has been added.

   * The command line used is now written to the logfile as information 
for the user.

   * Even more warnings have been added to the tutorial in the manual.

   * Revert to use "long" instead of "time_t" for time variables. 
Ddrescue only needs counting seconds and "time_t" causes warnings on 
some systems.


Please send bug reports and suggestions to bug-ddrescue@gnu.org


Regards,
Antonio Diaz, GNU ddrescue author and maintainer.
