+version 1.27.90 (Git)
+
+* 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.  Some of them take
+optional arguments, supplied in curly braces between the percent
+sign and the specifier letter.
+
+  %d        -  output number of seconds since tar started
+  %{r,w,d}T -  output I/O totals; optional arguments supply prefixes
+               to be used before number of bytes read, written and
+              deleted, correspondingly.
+  %{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.
+  %c        -  a shortcut for "%{%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S}t: %ds, %{read,wrote}T%*\r"
