Please send GNU tar bug reports to <bug-tar@gnu.org>
version TBD
* Fail when building GNU tar, if the platform supports 64-bit time_t
but the build uses only 32-bit time_t.
* Leave the devmajor and devminor fields empty (rather than zero) for
non-special files, as this is more compatible with traditional tar.
* Bug fixes
** Fix handling of prefix keywords not followed by "." in pax headers.
** Fix handling of out-of-range sparse entries in pax headers.
** Fix handling of --transform='s/s/@/2'.
** Fix treatment of options ending in / in files-from list.
** Fix crash on 'tar --checkpoint-action exec=\"'.
** Fix low-memory crash when reading incremental dumps.

the pid.

* Link counting works for file names supplied with -T
* Accept only position-sensitive (file-selection) options in file list files.
Using such options as -f, -z, etc. is senseless in a file list file and
bypasses option consistency checks in decode_options. Therefore,
bypasses option consistency checks in decode_options. Therefore,
only options related to file selection (a.k.a position-sensitive options)
are allowed in file list files.
