+version 1.13.9 - Paul Eggert, 1999-08-18.
+
+* `tar' now writes two zero blocks at end-of-archive instead of just one.
+  POSIX.1 requires this, and some other `tar' implementations check for it.
+
+* `tar' no longer silently accepts a block containing nonzero checksum bytes
+  as a zero block.
+
+* `tar' now reads buggy tar files that have a null byte at the start of a
+  numeric header field.
+
+
+version 1.13.8 - Paul Eggert, 1999-08-16.
+
+* For compatibility with traditional `tar', intermediate directories
+  created automatically by root are no longer given the uid and gid of
+  the original file or directory.
+
+
+version 1.13.7 - Paul Eggert, 1999-08-14.
+
+* --listed-incremental and --newer are now incompatible options.
+
+* When creating an archive, leading `./' is no longer stripped,
+  to match traditional tar's behavior (and simplify the documentation).
+
+* --diff without --absolute-names no longer falls back on absolute names.
+
 
 version 1.13.6 - Paul Eggert, 1999-08-11.
 
 * An --exclude pattern containing / now excludes a file only if it matches an
   initial prefix of the file name; a pattern without / continues to
-  exclude a file if it maches any file name compoment.
+  exclude a file if it matches any file name compoment.
 
 * The protocol for talking to rmt has been extended slightly.
   Open flags are now communicated in symbolic format as well as numeric.
