Copyright 1994, 1995-1998, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. +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.
