New for release 0.8 (2013-10-03)
o Eliminate call to fsync(), resulting in 99% speed improvement
o Add ability to read from the standard input stream and write to
standard output for pipeline support.
o Thanks to Alexey Yurchenko (ayurchen@gmail.com) for the above suggestions.
o Fix incorrect errpos tracker (probably caused some of the core dumps
people had reported)

been updated after the program moved from mmap to a read buffer)
o Also, move verbose logging from stdout to stderr
o Misc error reporting updates

New for release 0.5 (2006-08-29)
Changes in version 1.16:
Compression ratio of option -9 has been slightly increased.
Compression time has been reduced by 4%.
"lzip -0" is now comparable in compression speed and ratio to "gzip -6".
Copying of file dates, permissions, and ownership now behaves like "cp -p".
(If the user ID or the group ID can't be duplicated, the file permission
bits S_ISUID and S_ISGID are cleared).
Some minor improvements have been made.
"lzip.texinfo" has been renamed to "lzip.texi".
The license has been changed to GPL version 2 or later.

* Fix regressions introduced in 5.0.6:
- Fix building with non-GNU make.
- Fix invalid Libs.private value in liblzma.pc which broke
static linking against liblzma if the linker flags were
taken from pkg-config.
- Fix handling of MS-DOS reserved names. Besides handling names like
"con", we also need to handle "con.foo.txt".
- Auto-detect and handle "bad Mac" archives.
- Added "kNuValIgnoreLZW2Len" flag, which enables NuLib2 to handle
archives created by an unknown but badly broken program.
- Switched from GPL to BSD license.
* output file names may be encoded in the uuencoded file.
By specifying '--encode' on the command line, the output
file name will be base64 encoded in the uuencode file.
Use official man page, now that there is one.
version 1.28, 2014-07-28
* New checkpoint action: totals
The --checkpoint-action=totals option instructs tar to output the
total number of bytes transferred at each checkpoint.
* Extended checkpoint format specification.
New conversion specifiers are implemented. Some of them take
optional arguments, supplied in curly braces between the percent
sign and the specifier letter.
%d - Number of seconds since tar started.
%{r,w,d}T - I/O totals; optional arguments supply prefixes
to be used before number of bytes read, written and
deleted, correspondingly.
%{FMT}t - Current local time using FMT as strftime(3) format.
If {FMT} is omitted, use %c.
%{N}* - Pad output with spaces to the Nth column, or to the
current screen width, if {N} is not given.
%c - A shortcut for "%{%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S}t: %ds, %{read,wrote}T%*\r"
* New option --one-top-level
The option --one-top-level tells tar to extract all files into a
subdirectory named by the base name of the archive (minus standard
compression suffixes recognizable by --auto-compress). When used with
an argument, as in --one-top-level=DIR, the files are extracted into the
supplied DIRectory. This ensures that no archive members are
extracted outside of the specified directory, even if the archive is
crafted so as to put them elsewhere.
* New option --sort
The --sort=ORDER option instructs tar to sort directory entries
according to ORDER. It takes effect when creating archives.
Available ORDERs are: none (the default), name and inode. The
latter may be absent, if the underlying system does not provide
the necessary information.
Using --sort=name ensures the member ordering in the created archive
is uniform and reproducible. Using --sort=inode reduces the number
of disk seeks made when creating the archive and thus can considerably
speed up archivation.
* New exclusion options
--exclude-ignore=FILE Before dumping a directory check if it
contains FILE, and if so read exclude
patterns for this directory from FILE.
--exclude-ignore-recursive=FILE
Same as above, but the exclusion patterns
read from FILE remain in effect for any
subdirectory, recursively.
--exclude-vcs-ignores Read exclude tags from VCS ignore files,
where such files exist. Supported VCS's
are: CVS, Git, Bazaar, Mercurial.
* Tar refuses to read input from and write output to a tty device.
* Manpages
This release includes official tar(1) and rmt(8) manpages.
Distribution maintainers are kindly asked to use these instead of the
home-made pages they have been providing so far.
packaged for wip by pho.
This package provides a pure interface for compressing and decompressing
streams of data represented as lazy ByteStrings. It uses the zlib C library
so it has high performance. It supports the "zlib", "gzip" and "raw"
compression formats.
It provides a convenient high level API suitable for most tasks and for the
few cases where more control is needed it provides access to the full zlib
feature set.
LZ4 is a very fast lossless compression algorithm, providing
compression speed at 400 MB/s per core, scalable with multi-cores
CPU. It also features an extremely fast decoder, with speed in
multiple GB/s per core, typically reaching RAM speed limits on
multi-core systems.
SCO OpenServer 5.0.7/3.2 has strtoimax() declaration in inttypes.h,
but libc.so has no implementation. And gnulib in GNU tar 1.27 has broken
strtoimax() support. We have to use BSDL implementation instead.
