-just an interim experimental release, mostly intended for
-large file hosts. The patches of this

+* Support for large files, e.g. files larger than 2 GB on many 32-bit hosts.
+ Also, support for larger uids, device ids, etc.
+* Many bug fixes and porting fixes.
+* This release is only for fixes. A more ambitious test release,
+ with new features, is available as part of the paxutils. Please see:
+ http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/paxutils/
+ The fixes in this release are intended to be merged with paxutils
+ at some point, but they haven't been merged yet.

+ but they have been removed to maintain compatibility with paxutils.
+ Please try --use=bzip2 instead of --bzip2.
