About:
Magic Rescue scans a block device for file types it knows how to recover and calls an external program to extract them. It looks at "magic bytes" in file contents, so it can be used both as an undelete utility and for recovering a corrupted drive or partition. It works on any file system, but on very fragmented file systems it can only recover the first chunk of each file. These chunks are sometimes as big as 50MB, however.

Release focus: Minor feature enhancements

Changes:
Support for recognizing Flac files and Canon CR2 RAW files was added. The configure script was fixed for compatibility with Debian-based Linuxes.
