+* New option --pax-option allows to control the handling of POSIX

+* --incremental and --listed-incremental options work correctly on

+
+* New scripts: backup (replaces old level-0 and level-1) and restore.
+The scripts are compiled and installed if --enable-backup-scripts
+option is given to configure.

+* By default tar searches "rmt" utility in "$prefix/libexec/rmt",
+which is consistent with the location where the version of "rmt"
+included in the package is installed. Previous versions of tar
+used "/etc/rmt". To install "rmt" to its traditional location,
+run configure with option --libexecdir=/etc. Otherwise, if you
+already have rmt installed and wish to use it, instead of the
+shipped in version, set the variable DEFAULT_RMT_COMMAND to
+the full path name of the utility, e.g. ./configure
+DEFAULT_RMT_COMMAND=/etc/rmt.
+
+Notice also that the full path name of the "rmt" utility to
+use can be set at runtime, by giving option --rmt-command to
+tar.
