The latest version available is DDRescue-GUI 1.3, which has been released a few days ago.
In this article I will show you how to install DDRescue-GUI 1.3 on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr, Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander, Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal, Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin, Linux Mint 16 Petra, Linux Mint 14 Nadia, Linux Mint 13 Maya and Elementary OS 0.2 Luna.
Because it is available via PPA, installing DDRescue-GUI 1.3 on the listed Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Elementary systems is easy. All you have to do is add the ppa to your system, update the local repository index and install the ddrescue-gui package. Like this:
