-Changes in version 0.4:
+Changes in version 0.8:
-Some missing #includes have been fixed.
+The new option '--anonymous', equivalent to '--owner=root --group=root', has
+been added.
-Open files in binary mode on OS2.
+On extraction and listing, tarlz now removes leading './' strings also from
+member names given in the command line. 'tarlz -xf foo ./bar' now extracts
+member 'bar' from archive 'foo'. (Reported by Viktor Sergiienko in the
+bug-tar mailing list).
+
+Tarlz now writes extended headers with all fields zeroed except size,
+chksum, typeflag, magic and version. This prevents old tar programs from
+extracting the extended records as a file in the wrong place (with a
+truncated filename). Tarlz now also sets to zero those fields of the ustar
+header overridden by extended records.
+
+The chapter 'Amendments to pax format', explaining the reasons for the
+differences with the pax format, has been added.
