 There is no tar manual in this release.  The old manual has too many
 problems to make it usable.  A new manual will appear in version 1.12.
 
-User-visible changes since 1.10:
-
-o Many bug fixes
-
-o Now uses GNU standard configure, generated by Autoconf.
-
-o Long options now use `--'; use of `+' is deprecated and support for it
-  will eventually be removed.
-
-o New option --null causes filenames read by -T to be null-terminated,
-  and causes -C to be ignored.
-
-o New option --remove-files deletes files (but not directories) after
-  they are added to the archive.
-
-o New option --ignore-failed-read prevents read-errors from affecting
-  the exit status.
-
-o New option --checkpoint prints occasional messages as the tape is
-  being read or written.
-
-o New option --show-omitted-dirs prints the names of directories
-  omitted from the archive.
-
-o Some tape drives which use a non-standard method of indicating
-  end-of-tape now work correctly with multi-tape archives.
-
-o --volno-file: Read the volume number used in prompting the user (but
-  not in recording volume ID's on the archive) from a file.
-
-o When using --multi-volume, you can now give multiple -f arguments;
-  the various tape drives will get used in sequence and then wrap
-  around to the beginning.
-
-o Remote archive names no longer have to be in /dev: any file with a
-  `:' is interpreted as remote.  If new option --force-local is given,
-  then even archive files with a `:' are considered local.
-
-o New option --atime-preserve restores (if possible) atimes to their
-  original values after dumping the file.
-
-o No longer does tar confusingly dump "." when you don't tell it what
-  to dump.
-
-o When extracting directories, tar now correctly restores their
-  modification and access times.
-
-o Longnames support is redone differently--long name info directly
-  precedes the long-named file or link in the archive, so you no
-  longer have to wait for the extract to hit the end of the tape for
-  long names to work.
