+ * NEWS: Remove support for mangled names.
+ * doc/tar.texi (verbose tutorial): Likewise.
+ * src/Makefile.am (tar_SOURCES): Remove mangle.c.
+ * src/common.h (extract_mangle): Remove decl.
+ * src/extract.c (extract_mangle_wrapper): Remove.
+ (prepare_to_extract): Remove support for mangled names.
+ * src/list.c (read_and, print_header): Likewise.
+ * src/mangle.c: Remove.
+ * src/tar.h (GNUTYPE_NAMES): Remove.

Port to latest gnulib. There were a lot of changes, so the
simplest way to get this up and running was to switch to coreutils
bootstrap procedure. I noticed one feature missing after this
GNU tar NEWS - User visible changes.
Please send GNU tar bug reports to <bug-tar@gnu.org>

+* Support for reading ustar type 'N' header logical records has been removed.
+ This GNU extension was generated only by very old versions of GNU 'tar'.
+ Unfortunately its implementation had security holes; see
+ <http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/fulldisclosure/2006-11/0344.html>.
+ We don't expect that any tar archives in practical use have type 'N'
+ records, but if you have one and you trust its contents, you can
+ decode it with GNU tar 1.16 or earlier.

version 1.16 - Sergey Poznyakoff, 2006-10-21
* After creating an archive, tar exits with code 1 if some files were
