-Changes in version 0.11:
+Changes in version 0.12:
 
-An endless loop happening when trying to list or extract from an empty
-tar.lz archive has been fixed.
+When dumping a character special file or a block special file, the devmajor
+and devminor fields were incorrectly filled with the values corresponding to
+the device containing the special file instead of the values corresponding
+to the special file itself.
 
-Multi-threaded '-c, --create' and '-r, --append' have been implemented.
+If when creating an archive tarlz can't find a user or group name in the
+database, it now saves just the numerical uid/gid instead of exiting with
+error status.
 
-The default compression granularity has been changed to '--bsolid'
-(per block compression) instead of '--no-solid' (per file compression).
+When listing verbosely a character special file or a block special file, the
+devmajor and devminor values are now shown.
 
-The message "Removing leading '<prefix>' from member names." is now shown
-once for each <prefix>.
+The new option '-d, --diff', which reports differences between archive and
+file system, has been added.
 
-The new chapter 'Minimum archive sizes required for multi-threaded block
-compression' has been added to the manual.
+The new option '--ignore-ids', which tells '-d, --diff' to ignore
+differences in owner and group IDs, has been added. This option is useful
+when comparing an --anonymous archive.
+
+Listing of large seekable uncompressed archives is now much faster because
+tarlz now skips over member data instead of reading it.
