+* 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.
