+version 1.16.2
+
+* Fix archivation of sparse files in posix mode.  Previous versions padded
+  sparse members with spurious zero blocks.
+  
+* Fix operation of --verify --listed-incremental.  Version 1.16.1 produced
+  a full dump when both options were given.
+
+* Fix --occurence.  In previous versions it continued scanning the archive
+  even though all requested members has already been extracted.
+
+* The options --transform and --strip-components affect hard and soft link
+  targets.
+
+* End-of-volume script can send the new volume name to tar by writing
+  it to the file descriptor $TAR_FD.

-  should not be archived.
+  files whose presence in a directory means that the directory should not 
+  be archived.
 
 * The --exclude-cache option excludes directories that contain the
   CACHEDIR.TAG file from being archived.  Previous versions excluded
-  only the directory contents, while the directories themselves were
+  directory contents only, while the directories themselves were
   still added to the archive. 
 
 * Support for reading ustar type 'N' header logical records has been removed.
