+version 1.13.9 - Paul Eggert, 1999-08-18.
+
+* `tar' now writes two zero blocks at end-of-archive instead of just one.
+ POSIX.1 requires this, and some other `tar' implementations check for it.
+
+* `tar' no longer silently accepts a block containing nonzero checksum bytes
+ as a zero block.
+
+* `tar' now reads buggy tar files that have a null byte at the start of a
+ numeric header field.
+
+
+version 1.13.8 - Paul Eggert, 1999-08-16.
+
+* For compatibility with traditional `tar', intermediate directories
+ created automatically by root are no longer given the uid and gid of
+ the original file or directory.
+
+
+version 1.13.7 - Paul Eggert, 1999-08-14.
+
+* --listed-incremental and --newer are now incompatible options.
+
+* When creating an archive, leading `./' is no longer stripped,
+ to match traditional tar's behavior (and simplify the documentation).
+
+* --diff without --absolute-names no longer falls back on absolute names.
