+version 1.13.90
+
+* Added support for POSIX.1-2001 archive format.
+* New option --format allows to select the output archive format
+* The default output format can be selected at configuration time
+ by presetting the environment variable DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_FORMAT.
+ Allowed values are GNU, V7, OLDGNU and POSIX.
+* New option --strip-path allows to cut off a given number of
+ path elements from the name of the file being extracted.
+
+* Bug fixes.
+
+* New options --index-file, --no-overwrite-dir. The --overwrite-dir
+ option is now the default; use --no-overwrite-dir if you prefer
+ the previous default behavior.
+
+* The semantics of -o option is changed. When extracting, it
+ does the same as --no-same-owner GNU tar option. This is compatible
+ with UNIX98 tar. Otherwise, its effect is the same as that of
+ --old-archive option. This latter is deprecated and will be removed
+ in future.
+
+* New option --check-links prints a message if not all links are dumped
+ for a file being archived. This corresponds to the UNIX98 -l option.
+ The current semantics of the -l option is retained for compatibility
+ with previous releases, however such usage is strongly deprecated as
+ the option will change to its UNIX98 semantics in the future releases.
+
+* New option --occurrence[=N] can be used in conjunction with one of
+ the subcommands --delete, --diff, --extract or --list when a list of
+ files is given either on the command line or via -T option. This
+ option instructs tar to process only the Nth occurrence of each named
+ file. N defaults to 1, so `tar -x -f archive --occurrence filename'
+ extracts the first occurrence of `filename' from `archive'
+ and terminates without scanning to the end of the archive.
+
+* Removed obsolete command line options:
+** --absolute-paths superseded by --absolute-names
+** --block-compress is not needed any longer
+** --block-size superseded by --blocking-factor
+** --modification-time superseded by --touch
+** --read-full-blocks superseded by --read-full-records
+** --record-number superseded by --block-number
+** --version-control superseded by --backup
+
+* New message translations fi (Finnish), gl (Galician), hr (Croatian),
+ hu (Hungarian), ms (Malaysian), nb (Norwegian), ro (Romanian), sk
+ (Slovak), zh_CN (Chinese simplified), zh_TW (Chinese traditional).
+ The code 'no' for Norwegian has been withdrawn; use 'nb' instead.
+
+version 1.13.25 - Paul Eggert, 2001-09-26
+
+* Bug fixes.
+
+version 1.13.24 - Paul Eggert, 2001-09-22
+
+* New option --overwrite-dir.
+* Fixes for buffer overrun, porting, and copyright notice problems.
+* The message translations for Korean are available again.
+
+version 1.13.23 - Paul Eggert, 2001-09-13
+
+* Bug, porting, and copyright notice fixes.
+
+version 1.13.22 - Paul Eggert, 2001-08-29
+
+* Bug fixes.
+
+version 1.13.21 - Paul Eggert, 2001-08-28
+
+* Porting and copyright notice fixes.
+
+version 1.13.20 - Paul Eggert, 2001-08-27
+
+* Some bugs were fixed:
+ - security problems
+ - hard links to symbolic links
+
+* 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
+ exclude patterns are interpreted.
+
+* The default interpretation of exclude patterns is now --no-anchored
+ --no-ignore-case --recursion --wildcards --wildcards-match-slash.
+ This is a quiet change to the semantics of --exclude. The previous
+ semantics were a failed attempt at backward compatibility but it
+ became clear that the semantics were puzzling and did not satisfy
+ everybody. Rather than continue to try to revive that dead horse we
+ thought it better to substitute cleaner semantics, with options so
+ that you can change the behavior more to your liking.
+
+* New message translations for Indonesian and Turkish.
+ The translation for Korean has been withdrawn due to encoding errors.
+ It will be reissued once those are fixed.
