 starts with - is handled as option. To insert file names starting with
 dash, use --add-file option.
 
+* List files containing null-separated file names are detected and processed
+automatically. It is not necessary to give --null option.
+
 * New option --no-unquote disables unquoting input file names. This
 is useful e.g. for processing output from `find dir -print0'.
 An orthogonal option --unquote is provided as well.
 
+* New option --test-label tests the archive volume label.
+If an argument is specified, the label is compared against its value.
+Tar exits with code 0 if the two strings match, and with code 2 if
+they do not.
+
+If no argument is given, --verbose option is implied. In this case,
+tar prints the label name, if it is present and exits with code 0.
+
+* New option --show-stored-names. When creating archive in verbose mode,
+lists member names as stored in the archive, i.e. with any eventual
+prefixes removed. The option is useful, for example, while comparing
+`tar cv' and `tar tv' outputs.	
+
+* Better support for full-resolution time stamps.  Tar cannot restore
+time stamps to full nanosecond resolution, though, until the kernel
+guys get their act together and give us a system call to set file time
+stamps to nanosecond resolution.
+
+* The -v option now prints time stamps only to 1-minute resolution,
+not full resolution, to avoid using up too many output columns.
+Nanosecond resolution is now supported, but that would be too much.

 * Bugfixes
 
 ** Allow non-option arguments to be interspersed with options.
