+* Incompatibility problems with a bug on Solaris are fixed.
+
+* New option --gzip (aliases are --ungzip and -z); calls gzip instead
+of compress. Also, --use-compress-program lets you specify any
+compress program. --compress-block is renamed --block-compress and
+now requires one of the three compression options to be specified.
+
+* Several error messages are cleaned up.
+
+* Directory owners are now set properly when running as root.
+
+* Provide DUMP_REMIND_SCRIPT in backup-specs as a possible option
+for --info-script.
+
+* Behave better with broken rmt servers.
+
+* Dump scripts no longer use --atime-preserve; this causes a nasty probem.
+
+* Several Makefile cleanups.

+Version 1.11.1 - Michael Bushnell, 1992-09.
+
+* Many bug fixes.
+\f
+Version 1.11 - Michael Bushnell, 1992-09.
+Version 1.10.16 - 1992-07.
+Version 1.10.15 - 1992-06.
+Version 1.10.14 - 1992-05.
+Version 1.10.13 - 1992-01.
+
+* Many bug fixes.
+
+* Now uses GNU standard configure, generated by Autoconf.
+
+* Long options now use `--'; use of `+' is deprecated and support
+for it will eventually be removed.
+
+* New option --null causes filenames read by -T to be
+null-terminated, and causes -C to be ignored.
+
+* New option --remove-files deletes files (but not directories)
+after they are added to the archive.
+
+* New option --ignore-failed-read prevents read-errors from affecting
+the exit status.
+
+* New option --checkpoint prints occasional messages as the tape
+is being read or written.
+
+* New option --show-omitted-dirs prints the names of directories
+omitted from the archive.
+
+* Some tape drives which use a non-standard method of indicating
+end-of-tape now work correctly with multi-tape archives.
+
+* --volno-file: Read the volume number used in prompting the user
+(but not in recording volume ID's on the archive) from a file.
+
+* When using --multi-volume, you can now give multiple -f arguments;
+the various tape drives will get used in sequence and then wrap
+around to the beginning.
+
+* Remote archive names no longer have to be in /dev: any file with a
+`:' is interpreted as remote. If new option --force-local is given,
+then even archive files with a `:' are considered local.
+
+* New option --atime-preserve restores (if possible) atimes to
+their original values after dumping the file.
+
+* No longer does tar confusingly dump "." when you don't tell it
+what to dump.
+
+* When extracting directories, tar now correctly restores their
+modification and access times.
+
+* Longnames support is redone differently--long name info directly
+precedes the long-named file or link in the archive, so you no
+longer have to wait for the extract to hit the end of the tape for
+long names to work.
+\f
+Version 1.10 - Michael Bushnell, 1991-07.
+
+* Filename to -G is optional. -C works right. Names +newer and
++newer-mtime work right.
+
+* -g is now +incremental, -G is now +listed-incremental.
+
+* Sparse files now work correctly.
+
+* +volume is now called +label.
+
+* +exclude now takes a filename argument, and +exclude-from does
+what +exclude used to do.
+
+* Exit status is now correct.
+
+* +totals keeps track of total I/O and prints it when tar exits.
+
+* When using +label with +extract, the label is now a regexp.
+
+* New option +tape-length (-L) does multi-volume handling like BSD
+dump: you tell tar how big the tape is and it will prompt at that
+point instead of waiting for a write error.
+
+* New backup scripts level-0 and level-1 which might be useful
+to people. They use a file "backup-specs" for information, and
+shouldn't need local modification. These are what we use to do
+all our backups at the FSF.
