starts with - is handled as option. To insert file names starting with
dash, use --add-file option.
+* List files containing null-separated file names are detected and processed
+automatically. It is not necessary to give --null option.
+
* New option --no-unquote disables unquoting input file names. This
is useful e.g. for processing output from `find dir -print0'.
An orthogonal option --unquote is provided as well.
+* Better support for full-resolution time stamps. Tar cannot restore
+time stamps to full nanosecond resolution, though, until the kernel
+guys get their act together and give us a system call to set file time
+stamps to nanosecond resolution.
+
+* The -v option now prints time stamps only to 1-minute resolution,
+not full resolution, to avoid using up too many output columns.
+Nanosecond resolution is now supported, but that would be too much.
+
* Bugfixes
** Allow non-option arguments to be interspersed with options.
if length of the member name was divisible by block size (512).
Consequently, the file pointer was set off and the next member
was not processed correctly.
+** Previous version created invalid archives when files shrink
+during reading.
+** Compare mode (tar d) hanged when trying to compare file contents.
