Changes in version 0.12:

When dumping a character special file or a block special file, the devmajor
and devminor fields were incorrectly filled with the values corresponding to
the device containing the special file instead of the values corresponding
to the special file itself.

If when creating an archive tarlz can't find a user or group name in the
database, it now saves just the numerical uid/gid instead of exiting with
error status.

When listing verbosely a character special file or a block special file, the
devmajor and devminor values are now shown.

The new option '-d, --diff', which reports differences between archive and
file system, has been added.

The new option '--ignore-ids', which tells '-d, --diff' to ignore
differences in owner and group IDs, has been added. This option is useful
when comparing an --anonymous archive.

Listing of large seekable uncompressed archives is now much faster because
tarlz now skips over member data instead of reading it.
