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. |
