Changes in version 0.14:

The new option '--exclude', which excludes files matching a shell pattern,
has been added.

The new option '-h, --dereference', which instructs tarlz to follow symbolic
links during archive creation, appending or comparison, has been added.
(The short option name '-h' no longer means '--help').

Concatenation and appending to uncompressed archives and to standard output
have been implemented.

The new option '--out-slots', setting the number of output packets buffered
per worker thread during multi-threaded creation and appending to compressed
archives, has been added. Increasing the number of packets may increase
compression speed if the files being archived are larger than 64 MiB
compressed, but requires more memory.
