+* New command line option `--warning'
+
+The `--warning' command line option allows to suppress or enable
+particular warning messages during `tar' run.  It takes a single
+argument (a `keyword'), identifying the class of warning messages
+to affect.  If the argument is prefixed with `no-', such warning
+messages are suppressed.  For example,
+
+  tar --warning=no-alone-zero-block -x -f archive
+
+suppresses the output of `A lone zero block' diagnostics, which is
+normally issued if `archive' ends with a single block of zeros.
+
+* New command line option `--level'
+
+The `--level=N' option sets the incremental dump level N.  It
+is valid when used in conjunction with the -c and --listed-incremental
+options.  So far the only meaningful value for N is 0.  The
+`--level=0' option forces creating the level 0 dump, by truncating
+the snapshot file if it exists.
