 * Renamed --strip-path to --strip-components for consistency with
   the GNU convention.
 
+* Skipping archive members is sped up.

+* Bugfixes:
+** Correctly recognize sparse archive members when used with -T option
+** GNU multivolume headers cannot store filenames longer than 100 characters.
+Do not allow multivolume archives to begin with such filenames.
+** If a member with link count > 2 was stored in the archive twice,
+previous versions of tar were not able to extract it, since they
+were trying to link the file to itself, which always failed and
+lead to removing the already extracted copy. Preserve the first
+extracted copy in such cases.
