-Changes in version 0.10:
+Changes in version 0.11:
-The new option '--bsolid', which selects per-data-block compression of the
-archive, has been added. This option improves compression efficiency for
-archives with lots of small files.
+An endless loop happening when trying to list or extract from an empty
+tar.lz archive has been fixed.
-The new option '-B, --data-size', which sets the size of the input data
-blocks for '--bsolid', has been added.
+Multi-threaded '-c, --create' and '-r, --append' have been implemented.
-If an extended header is required for any reason (for example a file size
-larger than 8 GiB or a link name longer than 100 bytes), tarlz now moves the
-filename also to the extended header to prevent an ustar tool from trying to
-extract the file or link. This also makes easier during parallel extraction
-or listing the detection of a tar member split between two lzip members at
-the boundary between the extended header and the ustar header.
+The default compression granularity has been changed to '--bsolid'
+(per block compression) instead of '--no-solid' (per file compression).
+
+The message "Removing leading '<prefix>' from member names." is now shown
+once for each <prefix>.
+
+The new chapter 'Minimum archive sizes required for multi-threaded block
+compression' has been added to the manual.
