-Changes in version 0.9:
+Changes in version 0.10:
 
-Multi-threaded '-t, --list' has been implemented. See chapter 'Limitations
-of parallel tar decoding' in the manual for details.
+The new option '--bsolid', which selects per-data-block compression of the
+archive, has been added. This option improves compression efficiency for
+archives with lots of small files.
 
-The new option '-n, --threads', which sets the number of decompression
-threads, has been added.
+The new option '-B, --data-size', which sets the size of the input data
+blocks for '--bsolid', has been added.
 
-Tarlz now recognizes global pax headers, but for now ignores them.
-
-Tarlz now decodes numerical fields in headers using length-safe parsers
-instead of strtoul to prevent the parser from exceeding the end of the field
-if it does not contain a terminating character.
-
-The new chapter 'Limitations of parallel tar decoding' has been added to the
-manual.
+If an extended header is required for any reason (for example a file size
+larger than 8 GiB or a link name longer than 100 bytes), tarlz now moves the
+filename also to the extended header to prevent an ustar tool from trying to
+extract the file or link. This also makes easier during parallel extraction
+or listing the detection of a tar member split between two lzip members at
+the boundary between the extended header and the ustar header.
