+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.
