version 1.14.91 - Sergey Poznyakoff, <DATE>
* It is no longer necessary to specify -Z,-z, or -j options to
read compressed archives. GNU tar automatically detects the type
of archive it has to deal with and runs an appropriate decompressing
command. Thus, you can now run `tar tf archive.tar.gz'.
* When restoring incremental dumps, --one-file-system option
prevents directory hierarchies residing on different devices
from being purged.

Following is a short description of the tests:
* gtarfail.sh and gtarfile2.tar
* gtarfail.at and gtarfail2.at
These tests require gtarfile.tar and gtarfile2.tar, respectively.
These files are POSIX compliant tar archives that were not accepted
by previous versions of GNU tar.
* multi-fail.sh
* multi-fail.at
Requires gnu-multi-fail-volume1.gtar and gnu-multi-fail-volume2.gtar.
These are two parts of a multi-volume archive that previous versions
of tar refused to read (at least, without -B option).
* ustar-big-2g.sh
* ustar-big-2g.at
Requires ustar-big-2g.tar.bz2. It is a tar archive containing a file with
the largest size that a historic tar implementation is able to understand.
* ustar-big-8g.sh
* ustar-big-8g.at
Requires ustar-big-8g.tar.bz2. This is a test for reading an archive containing
files with the largest size that may be used with ustar (POSIX.1-1990)
format.
* pax-big-10g.sh
* pax-big-10g.at
Requires pax-big-10g.tar.bz2. It tests handling pax (POSIX.1-2001) archves
containing very large files (in this case -- 10 GB).
* qucktest.sh
A test for compliance to POSIX.1-1990 tar specification. It requires
the files ustar-all-quicktest.tar and quicktest.filelist. Apart
from them, the `tartest' program from 'star' package is needed.
The test may be run only with root privileges, so it is a good
idea to test the contents of ustar-all-quicktest.tar before running
it.
