+2005-11-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+       * NEWS: New option --atime-preserve=system, which uses O_NOATIME.
+
+       * configure.ac: Prefer AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE to AC_CHECK_HEADERS.
+       Check for stropts.h and sys/filio.h too, for _FIOSATIME.
+       * doc/tar.texi: Change "modification time" to "data modification
+       time", "change time" to "status change time", and "filesystem" to
+       "file system", so that we use terminology consistent with POSIX.
+       Use American spacing rather than French for sentence ends.
+       "non-dependable" -> "undependable".
+       (Option Summary, Attributes): Explain better the pitfalls of the
+       --atime-preserve option, and suggest read-only mounts,loopback
+       mounts, and noatime mounts for older systems.
+       * doc/value.texi (op-atime-preserve-system): Renamed from
+       op-atime-preserver-system to fix a misspelling.
+       * src/common.h (enum atime_preserve): Use lower case for enum values.
+       * src/compare.c: Don't include utimens.h; no longer needed.
+       (diff_file): Use set_file_atime rather than utimens; avoid closing
+       diff_handle until after this, so that we can set the file time stamp
+       via the file descriptor rather than via its name.
+       * src/create.c: Don't include utimens.h; no longer needed.
+       (dump_regular_finish): Remove.  All callers now do its work inline.
+       (dump_dir): New arg FD.  All callers changed.
+       Use fdsavedir rather than savedir.
+       (unknown_file_error): Arg is a const pointer now.
+       (dump_file0): 2nd arg is a const pointer now.
+       Treat directories more like files, with respect to --atime-preserve.
+       For example, also warn if a directory changes while we are dumping it.
+       Prefer file descriptors to file names when retrieving/setting file
+       attributes; this saves path-resolution time and allows us to avoid
+       changing mtime/ctime on Solaris when restoring atime as root.
+       Use O_DIRECTORY when opening directories, to avoid some race conditions.
+       Do not reset atime if mtime has changed.  Report an error if
+       we cannot reset atime.
+
+2005-11-29  Ian Turner  <ian@zmanda.com>
+
+       First cut at adding support for --atime-preserve=system.
+       * doc/tar.texi (Option Summary): First cut at documenting it.
+       All other uses of --atime-preserve changed to --atime-preserve=replace.
+       * doc/value.texi (op-atime-preserve-replace, op-atime-preserver-system):
+       New.
+       (op-atime-preserve): Mention METHOD.
+       * src/common.h (atime_preserve): New enum.
+       (atime_preserve_option): Now of the enum type rather than bool.
+       All uses changed.
+       * src/compare.c (diff_file): Read with O_NOATIME if asked for.
+       * src/create.c (dump_file0): Read regular and CTG files with O_NOATIME
+       if asked for.
+       * src/tar.c (usage): Mention new usage.
+       (parse_opt): Parse new usage.
+
+2005-11-29  Paul Eggert  <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+       * THANKS: Convert back to UTF-8, sort (using LC_ALL=C on Debian
+       stable), and consistently use tabs rather than spaces.
+
+2005-11-27  Sergey Poznyakoff  <gray@gnu.org.ua>

+       GNU extensions (multi-volume archives and archive labels) in
+       pax format.
+       NOTICE, that some of the aspects (e.g. splitting the archive
+       on the extended header boundary) are still not solved, others
