+version 1.13.10 - Paul Eggert, 1999-08-20.
+
+* `tar' now uses signed base-64 when outputting header values that are
+  out of the range of the standard unsigned base-8 format.  This
+  affects archive members with negative timestamps or uids, and
+  archive members 8 GB or larger.  The new tar archives cannot be read
+  by traditional tar, or by older versions of GNU tar.  Use the
+  --old-archive option to revert to the old behavior, which uses
+  unportable representations for negative values, and which rejects
+  large files.
+
+version 1.13.9 - Paul Eggert, 1999-08-18.
+
+* `tar' now writes two zero blocks at end-of-archive instead of just one.
+  POSIX.1 requires this, and some other `tar' implementations check for it.
+
+* `tar' no longer silently accepts a block containing nonzero checksum bytes
+  as a zero block.
+
+* `tar' now reads buggy tar files that have a null byte at the start of a
+  numeric header field.
+
+
+version 1.13.8 - Paul Eggert, 1999-08-16.
+
+* For compatibility with traditional `tar', intermediate directories
+  created automatically by root are no longer given the uid and gid of
+  the original file or directory.
+
+
 version 1.13.7 - Paul Eggert, 1999-08-14.
 
 * --listed-incremental and --newer are now incompatible options.
