GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file or 
block device (hard disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying to rescue the 
good parts first in case of read errors.

GNU Ddrescuelog is a tool that manipulates ddrescue logfiles, shows 
logfile contents, converts logfiles to/from other formats, compares 
logfiles, tests rescue status, and can delete a logfile if the rescue is 
done.

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


Changes in this version:

  * This version just includes a small change in the way the time 
counters are initialized; the time taken by the user to answer when 
using '--ask' is not counted.

This is the final release candidate before 1.19 stable, which will be 
released the 3 of October.


Regards,
Antonio Diaz, GNU ddrescue author and maintainer.
