+version 1.18.1 (CVS)
+
+* Fix --version output.
+
+* Recognition of broken archive.
+
+When supplied an archive smaller than 512 bytes in reading mode (-x,
+-t), the previous version of tar silently ignored it, exiting with
+code 0. It is fixed. Tar now issues the following diagnostic message:
+'This does not look like a tar archive', and exits with code 2.
+
+* Fix double-dot recognition in archive member names in case of duplicate '/.'.
