-Changes in version 0.8:
+Changes in version 0.9:
 
-The new option '--anonymous', equivalent to '--owner=root --group=root', has
-been added.
+Multi-threaded '-t, --list' has been implemented. See chapter 'Limitations
+of parallel tar decoding' in the manual for details.
 
-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).
+The new option '-n, --threads', which sets the number of decompression
+threads, has been added.
 
-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.
+Tarlz now recognizes global pax headers, but for now ignores them.
 
-The chapter 'Amendments to pax format', explaining the reasons for the
-differences with the pax format, has been added.
+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.
