+version 1.17 - Sergey Poznyakoff, 2007-06-08
+
+* Fix archivation of sparse files in posix mode.  Previous versions padded
+  sparse members with spurious zero blocks.
+  
+* Fix operation of --verify --listed-incremental.  Version 1.16.1 produced
+  a full dump when both options were given.
+
+* Fix --occurence.  In previous versions it continued scanning the archive
+  even though all requested members has already been extracted.
+
+* Scope of --transform and --strip-components options.
+
+In addition to affecting regular archive members, the --transform
+option affects hard and soft link targets and the --strip-components
+option affects hard link targets as well. 
+
+* End-of-volume script can send the new volume name to tar by writing
+  it to the file descriptor stored in the environment variable `TAR_FD'.
