I am pleased to announce the release of GNU ddrescue 1.15.

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/ 
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/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:
6b445f6246074a7fa02f3b2599031096  ddrescue-1.15.tar.gz
c0566c2648c3738390a8dda2f37a9824  ddrescue-1.15.tar.lz

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

Changes in version 1.15:

   * The new option "-a, --min-read-rate" has been added.

   * The new option "-I, --verify-input-size" has been added.

   * The new option "-x, --extend-outfile" has been added.

   * Ddrescue now verifies that infile, outfile and logfile are all 
different.

   * Non-tried blocks are now read aligned to cluster-size sectors.

   * The "split or skip" algorithm of the split pass has been improved.

   * A spurious warning about "-D" being ignored in fill mode has been 
removed.

   * Ddrescuelog, a tool for manipulation, display, conversion, 
comparison and testing of ddrescue logfiles, has been added.


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

If you are packaging ddrescue for a distribution, please, try to use the 
lzipped source tarball, as this can improve the support for the lzip 
format in packaging systems. Thanks.


Regards,
Antonio Diaz, GNU ddrescue author and maintainer.
