-version 1.15.2 (CVS version -- unreleased)
+version 1.15.90 - Sergey Poznyakoff, 2006-02-19
* New features
** When creating an archive, do not attempt to store files whose
meta-data cannot be stored in the header due to format limitations
(for ustar and v7 formats).
+** The --version option now also outputs information about copyright,
+license, and credits. This reverts to the behavior of tar 1.14 and
+earlier, and conforms to the GNU coding standards. The --license (-L)
+option introduced in tar 1.15 has been removed, since it's no longer
+needed.
