- Version 1.27
+ Version 1.29
+ Minor fix
+ * src/names.c (new_name): rename to make_file_name. All uses
+ changed.
+
+2016-04-14 Sergey Poznyakoff <gray@gnu.org.ua>
+
+ Fix argument handling when running external commands.
+ * src/system.c (xexec): Use sh -c to run the command. This fixed
+ bug introduced by 7b5e80396 (tar 1.27)

+ can't be used as abbreviation of --checkpoint-action
+

+
+ Remove iotty test
+ The auxiliary utility ttyemu proved to be unreliable.
+ Given existing
+ differences between pty implementations and termios ioctls
+ on various
+ platforms, writing it in a portable way requires effort
+ disproportional
+ to its actual purpose.
+ * configure.ac: Remove check for grantpt
+ * gnulib.modules: Remove posix_openpt, ptsname, and unlockpt
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTSUITE_AT): Remove iotty.at
+ (check_PROGRAMS): Remove ttyemu.

+
+ xattrs: fix build on Darwin
+ Be careful to define HAVE_XATTRS when not all needed xattr-related
+ functions are properly defined either in libc or libattr.
+ Reported independently by Denis Excoffier and Dominyk Tille.
+ * acinclude.m4 (TAR_HEADERS_ATTR_XATTR_H): Check for each xattr
+ function separately. Don't AC_CHECK_LIB (LIBS is filled by
+ AC_SEARCH_LIBS when necessary).
+ * src/Makefile.am: The LDADD -lattr was redundant.

+ Update THANKS file
+
+2016-03-24 Jeremy Bobbio <lunar@debian.org>
+
+ New option --clamp-mtime
+ The new `--clamp-mtime` option will change the behavior of
+ `--mtime` to only
+ use the time specified if the file mtime is newer than the
+ given time.
+ The `--clamp-mtime` option can only be used together with
+ `--mtime`.
+ Typical use case is to make builds reproducible: to loose less
+ information, it's better to keep the original date of an archive,
+ except for
+ files modified during the build process. In that case, using
+ a reference
+ (and thus reproducible) timestamps for the latter is good
+ enough. See
+ <https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds> for more information.
+ Patch submitted by Jeremy Bobbio and
+ Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg@fifthhorseman.net>

+ Fix the testsuite
+ * tests/sparse06.at: Don't use timeout: depending on the

+
+ Minor fix
+
+ Fix handling of filename-selection options.
+ Filename-selection options are --wildcards, --recursive, etc. (see
+ names.c for a complete list). These options are
+ position-sensitive,
+ i.e. each such option affects all filenames and filename-selection
+ options that appear after it until eventually cancelled by a
+ corresponding counterpart option.
+ These options can appear in "file-from" file lists, which
+ means that
+ they cannot be handled right away, but instead should be put on
+ the "name_elt" list and processed sequentionally, as file name
+ arguments
+ are.
+ * src/common.h (warn_regex_usage): Remove.
+ (name_add_name): Change signature.
+ (name_add_dir, name_add_file): Remove prototypes.

+ names.c
+ * tests/T-dir00.at: Fix typo.

+
+ Use SEEK_HOLE for hole detection
+ Based on patch by Pavel Raiskup.

+ tar: fix symlink race and symlink transform bug
+ Problem reported by Tobias Stoeckmann in:
+ http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2015-07/msg00004.html
+ * gnulib.modules: Add areadlinkat-with-size.
+ * src/create.c: Include areadlink.h.
+ (dump_file0): Use areadlinkat_with_size, rather than trying to do
+ it by hand, incorrectly. This also avoids assumption that
+ the symlink contents fit on the stack. Also, use the transformed
+ link name, not the original link name, when deciding whether the
+ name is long enough to require writing a long link.
+
+ tar: port -d to longer symlinks
+ * src/compare.c (diff_symlink):
+ Don't use alloca on symlink length; it might be too big for
+ the stack.
+ Don't assume that readlinkat's return value fits in 'int'.
+ Prefer memcmp to strncmp where either will do.
+
+ tar: port to recent gnulib
+ * gnulib.modules: Remove 'acl' and add 'file-has-acl'.
+
+ tar: pacify GCC 5.1 -Wformat-signedness
+ * lib/wordsplit.c (struct wordsplit_node.flags):
+ Now unsigned, so that 'printf ("%x", p->flags)' doesn't provoke

tar: --atime-preserve fixes for races etc.
-
This patch fixes a race condition in the --atime-preserve=replace
option, which might cause tar to improperly follow a symbolic
link.
-
It also drops the use of the _FIOSATIME ioctl of Solaris 2.x
and later, which loses resolution on time stamps. Modern Solaris
systems support full-resolution time stamps in the kernel, and
it's not worth the hassle of testing this call, useful only in
no-longer-supported Solaris variants.
-
Also, it undoes a change I recently introduced to the --compare
option, which caused it to not follow symbolic links unless the
--dereference option was also used. Quite possibly this change is
a good idea, but the old behavior was documented and the change
should not have been installed casually.
