This +allows the reliable detection of certain format violations during parallel +extraction with more than two threads. (Thanks to Florian Schmaus for +reporting the problem). + +The new option '-z, --compress', which compresses existing POSIX tar +archives aligning the lzip members to the tar members with choice of +granularity, has been added. Existing compressed archives are not +overwritten. + +The new option '-o, --output', which writes the compressed output to a file, +has been added. Currently '--output' only works with '--compress'. + +The new option '--warn-newer', which warns during archive creation if any +file being archived has a modification time newer than the archive creation +time, has been added. + +A failure in the '--diff' test of the testsuite on OS/2 has been fixed. |
