+version 1.13.26
+
+* Added support for POSIX.1-2001 archive format.
+* New option --format allows to select the output archive format
+* The default output format can be selected at configuration time
+by presetting the environment variable DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_FORMAT.
+Allowed values are GNU, V7, OLDGNU and POSIX.
+* New option --strip-path allows to cut off a given number of
+path elements from the name of the file being extracted.
+
+* Bug fixes.
+
+* New options --index-file, --no-overwrite-dir.  The --overwrite-dir
+  option is now the default; use --no-overwrite-dir if you prefer
+  the previous default behavior.
+
+* New message translations fi (Finnish), gl (Galician), hr (Croatian),
+  hu (Hungarian), ms (Malaysian), nb (Norwegian), ro (Romanian), sk
+  (Slovak), zh_CN (Chinese simplified), zh_TW (Chinese traditional).
+  The code 'no' for Norwegian has been withdrawn; use 'nb' instead.
+
+* The semantics of -o option is changed. When extracting, it
+does the same as --no-same-owner GNU tar option. This is compatible
+with UNIX98 tar. Otherwise, its effect is the same as that of
+--old-archive option. This latter is deprecated and will be removed
+in future.
+
+* New option --check-links prints a message if not all links are dumped
+for a file being archived. This corresponds to the UNIX98 -l option.
+The current semantics of the -l option is retained for compatibility
+with previous releases, however such usage is strongly deprecated as
+the option will change to its UNIX98 semantics in the future releases.
+
+* Removed obsolete command line options:
+** --absolute-paths superseeded by --absolute-names
+** --block-compress is not needed any longer
+** --block-size superseeded by --blocking--factor
+** --modification-time superseeded by --touch
+** --read-full-blocks supeseeded by --read-full-records
+** --record-number superseeded by --block-number
+** --version-control superseeded by --backup
