+* New checkpoint action: totals
+
+The --checkpoint-action=totals option instructs tar to output the
+total number of bytes transferred at each checkpoint.
+
+* Extended checkpoint format specification.
+
+New conversion specifiers are implemented:
+
+  %d  -  output number of seconds since tar started
+  %T  -  output I/O totals
+  %{FMT}t - output current local time using FMT as strftime(3) format
+            If {FMT} is omitted, use %c
+  %{N}*   - pad output with spaces to the Nth column, or to the 
+            current screen width, if {N} is not given.

 * New configure option --enable-gcc-warnings, intended for debugging.
 
+* New warning control option --warning=[no-]record-size
+
+On extraction, this option controls whether to display actual record
+size, if it differs from the default.
+
+* New command line option --keep-directory-symlink
+
+By default, if trying to extract a directory from the archive,
+tar discovers that the corresponding file name already exists and is a
+symbolic link, it first unlinks the entry, and then extracts the directory.
+
+This option disables this behavior and instructs tar to follow
+symlinks to directories when extracting from the archive.  
+
+It is mainly intended to provide compatibility with the Slackware
+installation scripts.
