[Bug-ddrescue] ddrescueview update (0.4 alpha 2)

[Martin Bittermann]

Hi,

there is now a new version '0.4 alpha 2' of ddrescueview available for 
testing at 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ddrescueview/files/Test%20builds/v0.4%20alpha%202/ 
.

ddrescueview is a graphical viewer application for ddrescue's logfiles, 
available for GNU/Linux and Windows.

Thanks to Graham Inggs, this version will be available as Debian/Ubuntu 
package very soon.

Note: This version has received very little testing and is far from 
complete.  To help me get to '0.4 release', I ask you to send all 
suggestions, bug reports, success and failure reports to 
address@hidden or address@hidden .  You are also 
welcome to use the discussion forum and ticket system on sourceforge.

Below, there is a list of changes in this version.

Best regards,
Martin Bittermann


#### v0.4 alpha 2 ####
Released 2015-05-27

- The wiki on the sourceforge page now has some documentation for the 
program.
- Support for domain log files. Outside-domain blocks are painted dark 
gray by default.
  The commandline parameter for the domain log file is -m domain_logfile.
- Option to show the inside-domain blocks contiguously, useful for 
highly fragmented domains.
- Up to 10x faster block drawing using direct memory writes. Includes 
fallback if not supported.
- Right mouse-button dragging on the block grid now zooms in to the 
dragged area.
- Redesigned the top panel again.
- Changed formatting of most size strings in the top panel and the Block 
inspector.
- Double-Clicking the labels in the Rescue status box now toggles 
between sectors, bytes and hex.
- Error count now shows only the number of 'bad sector' areas, to keep 
up with ddrescue 1.20.

start or end of device.
- The zoom bar now has better highlighting of the zoomed-in area.
- A screenshot of the main window can be saved from the File menu.

no file is opened.

- The status bar now shows [Updating...] or [Opening...] while 
refreshing or opening a log file.

re-opened.

block to current position.

- Zoom bar now shows full device when device size changes, block grid 
stays at current zoom setting.
