back up. This change fixes the bug.
* Renamed --strip-path to --strip-components for consistency with
- the GNU convention.
-
+the GNU convention.
+
+* Skipping archive members is sped up.
+
+* restore script starts restoring only if it is given --all (-a) option,
+or some patterns. This is to prevent accidental restores.
+
+* `tar --verify' prints a warning if during archive creation some of
+the file names had their prefixes stripped off.
+
+* Bugfixes:
+** Fixed flow in recognizing files to be included in incremental dumps.
+** Correctly recognize sparse archive members when used with -T option
+** GNU multivolume headers cannot store filenames longer than 100 characters.
+Do not allow multivolume archives to begin with such filenames.
+** If a member with link count > 2 was stored in the archive twice,
+previous versions of tar were not able to extract it, since they
+were trying to link the file to itself, which always failed and
+lead to removing the already extracted copy. Preserve the first
+extracted copy in such cases.
+** restore script was passing improper argument to tar --listed option.
+** Fixed verification of the created archives.
+** Fixed unquoting of the file names containing backslash escapes (previous
+versions failed to recognize \a and \v).
