Ubeedisk 1.1.0 released

A command line tool for copying floppy disks and images from one to another. The program is intended for Microbee disks but is also useful for other formats and is based on the LibDsk library.
Changes:
uBeeDisk v1.1.0
New for this release:
* Added error report logging, this is appened to the info file.
* Added --log option to set the level of logging for read errors.
Changes:
* Transient errors (including Unknown Error) are now processed just like any other disk errors. The error count now also increments when one of these errors occurs and the user will be prompted for action when the retry counter expires.
Fixed:
* Sector map was updated but the error count was not being incremented on a transient read error and has been corrected.
