+
+ * src/buffer.c (flush_write,flush_read): Change data type.
+ (flush_archive): Compute actual buffer fill level before calling
+ low level function.
+ (close_archive): Call flush_archive again if the first call
+ resulted in partially filled buffer.
+ (try_new_volume): Rewritten handling of initial headers.
+ (add_chunk_header): New function. Write an additional header
+ before the continuation chunk. The purpose of the header is to
+ allow third-party tars to extract the member.
+ (simple_flush_write): Take an argument.
+ (_gnu_flush_write): Correctly handle partially filled buffers.
+ * src/common.h (flush_read,flush_write): Functions, again.
+ (write_extended): Changed declaration
+ (xheader_format_name): New declaration
+ * src/create.c (write_extended): Change type and meaning of
+ the first argument. All callers updated
+ * src/xheader.c (xheader_format_name): Remove static
+ qualifier. Change last argument.
+ Correct buffer size calculation (allocated too much space).
+ (xheader_write): Increase global_header_count here ...
+ (xheader_write_global): ... instead of here
+
+ * tests/testsuite.at (AT_TAR_CHECK): Define TEST_TAR_FORMAT
+ * tests/multiv01.at: Update
+ * tests/multiv02.at: Update
+ * tests/multiv03.at: Update
+ * tests/sparsemvp.at: Update
+ * tests/star/multi-fail.at: Update

+ of traditional archives.

+
+ Fix splitting of sparse files between the volumes.
+
+ * src/buffer.c (try_new_volume): Bugfix. Always check
+ continued_file_name. If it is absent, the volume is out
+ of sync.
+ (add_multi_volume_header): Create GNU.volume.filename keyword in
+ the extended header.
+ * src/sparse.c (sparse_dump_region): Call mv_size_left.
+ (sparse_dump_file): Enclose the loop in mv_begin/mv_end.
+ * src/system.c: Do not pad compressed output if it goes to
+ stdout.
+ * src/xheader.c (xhdr_tab): New keyword GNU.volume.filename.
+
+ * tests/sparsemv.at: New testcase
+ * tests/sparsemvp.at: New testcase
+ * tests/Makefile.am: Add sparsemv.at and sparsemvp.at.
+ * tests/testsuite.at: Likewise.
