This file is a placeholder. It will be replaced with the actual ChangeLog
by make dist. Run make ChangeLog if you wish to create it earlier.
The regression was introduced by 8f390db9. This patch implements additional
option --skip-old-files, which silently skips members which would cause
writing over existing files, and restores --keep-old-files to its traditional
behavior.
* NEWS: Update.

* doc/tar.texi: Document the changes.
* src/common.h (SKIP_OLD_FILES): New old_files mode.

Perl v5.10.1 and later.)
Add a "-c" option to check the snapshot file for invalid
field values.
Handle NFS indicator character ("+") in version 0 and 1 files.
Preserve the original header/version line when editing version 1
or 2 files.
Tweak output formatting.
* doc/tar-snapshot-edit.texi: Update documentation.
The --owner and --group options now accept operands of the form
NAME:NUM, so that you can specify both symbolic name and numeric
ID for owner and group. Also, in these options, NAME no longer
needs to be present in the current host's user and group
databases; this implements Debian enhancement request 136231
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=136231> reported
by Mark W. Eichin, communicated by Thayne Harbaugh to bug-tar in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2011-08/msg00001.html>.

* tests/testsuite.at: Include it.
Some compression programs are able to handle various compression formats
(e.g. `gzip' can decompress files created by `compress', `xz' is able
to handle lzma, etc.) Tar tries to use such programs for decompression
