I am pleased to announce the release of lziprecover 1.25.

Lziprecover is a data recovery tool and decompressor for files in the lzip compressed data format (.lz). Lziprecover also provides Forward Error Correction (FEC) able to repair any kind of file.

GNU ddrescue provides data recovery capabilities which complement those of lziprecover. If the cause of file corruption is a damaged medium, the combination GNU ddrescue + lziprecover is the recommended option for recovering data from damaged files.

The homepage is at http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lziprecover.html

The sources can be downloaded from http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/lzip/lziprecover/

The sha256sums are:

This release is also GPG signed. You can download the signature by appending '.sig' to the URL. If the 'gpg --verify' command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it:

  gpg --recv-keys 8FE99503132D7742

Key fingerprint = 1D41 C14B 272A 2219 A739  FA4F 8FE9 9503 132D 7742


Changes in version 1.25:

* The option '-F, --fec', which implements Forward Error Correction (FEC), has been added.

  * The options '-0' to '-9' (FEC fragmentation level) have been added.

* The option '-b, --block-size', which sets the FEC block size, has been added.

* The option '--fec-file', which sets the fec file to be used, has been added.

* The options '-r, --recursive' and '-R, --dereference-recursive' have been added for recursive creation and reading of fec files.

  * The short name of option '--byte-repair' has been changed to '-B'.

  * The option '--byte-repair' now repairs a nonzero first LZMA byte.

* When decompressing, testing, or listing, lziprecover now exits with error status 2 if any empty member is found in a regular multimember file unless '-i' is given.

* When decompressing or testing, lziprecover now exits with error status 2 if the first byte of the LZMA stream is not 0 unless '-i' is given.

  * The option '--clear-marking' has been renamed to '--nonzero-repair'.

  * Options '--empty-error' and '--marking-error' have been removed.

* The chapter 'Syntax of command-line arguments' has been added to the manual.

  * Lzip 1.16 (or clzip 1.6) or newer is required to run the tests.
