'tarlz -xf foo ./bar' now extracts +member 'bar' from archive 'foo'. (Reported by Viktor Sergiienko in the +bug-tar mailing list). + +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. + +The chapter 'Amendments to pax format', explaining the reasons for the +differences with the pax format, has been added. -- cgit v1.2.3
