Hello,
I am pleased to announce the release of GNU tar 1.17.
GNU tar is available from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/tar and
the mirror sites worldwide (see http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html
for the list of those).
For more information on tar, including links to file downloads,
please see the tar web page: http://www.gnu.org/software/tar
and the the project page http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/tar.
The MD5 checksums of the files are:
65e568b83caf7aa865144031e7a7c6a8 tar-1.17.tar.gz
c6c4f1c075dbf0f75c29737faa58f290 tar-1.17.tar.bz2
93bccba8c40c073f19e0f40eebabfb8f tar-1.17.shar.gz
User-visible changes in this release:
* Fix archivation of sparse files in posix mode. Previous versions padded
sparse members with spurious zero blocks.
* Fix operation of --verify --listed-incremental. Version 1.16.1 produced
a full dump when both options were given.
* Fix --occurence. In previous versions it continued scanning the archive
even though all requested members has already been extracted.
* Scope of --transform and --strip-components options.
In addition to affecting regular archive members, the --transform
option affects hard and soft link targets and the --strip-components
option affects hard link targets as well.
* End-of-volume script can send the new volume name to tar by writing
it to the file descriptor stored in the environment variable `TAR_FD'.
Regards,
Sergey
