+* After creating an archive, tar exits with code 1 if some files were
+changed while being read.  Previous versions exited with code 2 (fatal
+error), and only if some files were truncated while being archived.
+
+* New option --mtime allows to set modification times for all archive
+members during creation.
+
+* Bug fixes
+** Avoid running off file descriptors when using multiple -C options.
+** tar --index-file=FILE --file=- sent the archive to FILE, and
+the listing to stderr.

 If you wish tar to mimic the behavior of versions up to 1.15.90,
 add --wildcards to the value of the environment variable TAR_OPTIONS.
