-Changes in version 0.23:
+Changes in version 0.25:
 
-Tarlz now can create and decode the extended records 'atime' and 'mtime',
-allowing times beyond the ustar range (before 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC or
-after 2242-03-16 12:56:31 UTC).
+The new option '--ignore-metadata', which makes '-d, --diff' ignore
+differences in file permissions, owner and group IDs, and modification time,
+has been added.
 
-Tarlz now can create and decode the extended records 'uid' and 'gid',
-allowing user and group IDs beyond the ustar limit of 2_097_151.
+'#include <sys/types.h>' for major, minor, makedev on BSD systems.
 
-The new option '--ignore-overflow', which makes '-d, --diff' ignore
-differences in mtime caused by overflow on 32-bit systems, has been added.
+File diagnostics of '-z' have been reformatted as 'PROGRAM: FILE: MESSAGE'.
 
-Tarlz now refuses to read archive data from a terminal or write archive data
-to a terminal. (Reported by DustDFG).
+The option '-o, --output' now creates missing intermediate directories when
+compressing to a file.
 
-In the date format of option '--mtime' the time of day 'HH:MM:SS' is now
-optional and defaults to '00:00:00'. Both space and 'T' are now accepted as
-separator between date and time.
-
-Diagnostics caused by invalid arguments to command line options now show the
-argument and the name of the option.
-
-Tarlz now diagnoses separately the failure to create an intermediate
-directory during extraction.
-
-Failure to extract a member due to environmental problems is no longer fatal
-in serial extraction. (It was already non-fatal in parallel extraction).
-
-The diagnostics emitted by the parallel decoder should now be identical to
-the corresponding diagnostics of the serial decoder.
-
-Column alignment has been improved in listings by printing "user/group size"
-in a field of minimum width 19 with at least 8 characters for size.
-
-The diagnostic shown when the filesystem reports a wrong st_size for a
-symbolic link has been improved. (Reported by Jason Lenz).
-
-The diagnostic "File is the archive" has been changed to "Archive can't
-contain itself" following a similar change made by Paul Eggert to GNU tar.
-
-The warning "Removing leading '/' from member names." is now not shown when
-compressing nor if the member causing it is excluded.
-
-The texinfo category of the manual has been changed from 'Data Compression'
-to 'Archiving' to match that of GNU tar.
-
-'end-of-archive' (EOA) is now used consistently to refer to the blocks of
-binary zeros used to mark the end of the archive.
-
-Operations are now listed before options in the --help output and in the
-manual.
-
-Many small improvements have been made to the code and documentation.
+The variable MAKEINFO has been added to configure and Makefile.in.
