+version 1.15.91 - Sergey Poznyakoff, 2006-06-16
* Incompatible changes
** New incremental snapshot file format keeps information about file names
as well as that about directories.
+** The --checkpoint option takes an optional argument specifying the number
+of records between the two successive checkpoints. Optional dot
+starting the argument intructs tar to print dots instead of textual
+checkpoints.
+
+** The --totals option can be used with any tar operation (previous versions
+understood it only with --create). If an argument to this option is
+given, it specifies the signal upon delivery of which the statistics
+is to be printed. Both forms of this option (with and without
+argument) can be given to in a single invocation of tar.
+
+* Bug fixes
+** Detect attempts to update compressed archives.
