Summary of changes (see NEWS and Changelog from the distribution for details):
- don't allow absolute paths, and path containing ../
* New option --overwrite-dir
* New option --recursion (the default) that is the inverse of --no-recursion.
* New options --anchored, --ignore-case, --wildcards,
--wildcards-match-slash, and their negations (e.g., --no-anchored).
Along with --recursion and --no-recursion, these options control how

* The default interpretation of exclude patterns is now --no-anchored
--no-ignore-case --recursion --wildcards --wildcards-match-slash.
* The --no-recursion option now affects extraction too.
* New options --no-same-owner, --no-same-permissions.
* New option -y or --bzip2 for bzip2 compression, by popular request.
