+ 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.
+
+* New option --pax-option allows to control the handling of POSIX
+ keywords in `pax' extended headers. It is equivalent to `pax'
+ -o option.
+
+* --incremental and --listed-incremental options work correctly on
+ individual files, as well as on directories.
+
+* New scripts: backup (replaces old level-0 and level-1) and restore.
+The scripts are compiled and installed if --enable-backup-scripts
+option is given to configure.
+
+* By default tar searches "rmt" utility in "$prefix/libexec/rmt",
+which is consistent with the location where the version of "rmt"
+included in the package is installed. Previous versions of tar
+used "/etc/rmt". The full path name to the "rmt" utility may
+be overridden either while configuring the package, by setting
+DEFAULT_RMT_COMMAND variable, or on runtime, by giving option
+--rmt-command to tar.
+
+* 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+** --absolute-paths superseded by --absolute-names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+** --block-size superseded by --blocking-factor
+** --modification-time superseded by --touch
+** --read-full-blocks superseded by --read-full-records
+** --record-number superseded by --block-number
+** --version-control superseded by --backup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+ The code 'no' for Norwegian (Bokmål) has been withdrawn; use 'nb' instead.
+
+* Bug fixes.
