libtar 1.0.2 - 6/21/00
------------

- tar_set_file_perms() now calls chown() only if the effective user ID is 0
  (workaround for IRIX and HP-UX, which allow file giveaways)

- tar_set_file_perms() now calls chmod() or lchmod() after chown()
  (this fixes a problem with extracting setuid files under Linux)

- removed calls to fchown() and fchmod() from tar_extract_regfile()

- fixed bugs in th_read() which didn't set errno properly

- removed various unused variables

----------------------------------------------------------------------

libtar 1.0.1 - 4/1/00
------------

- removed libgen.h include from dirname and basename compat code

- added lib/fnmatch.c compatability module from OpenBSD

- fixed several objdirs bugs in libtar/Makefile.in

- misc Makefile changes (added $CPPFLAGS support, added -o flag to compile
  commands, use $CFLAGS on link line, etc)

- removed "inline" keyword from all source files to prevent portability
  problems

- updated README

----------------------------------------------------------------------

  a pre-existing file

- many improvements to libtar.c driver program (better error checking,
  added -C and -v options, etc)

- changed API to include list of canned file types, instead of passing
  function pointers to tar_open()

- fixed tar_set_file_perms() to not complain about chown() if not root

-----------------

- misc fixes in append.c, extract.c, and wrapper.c to do error checking

  characters to encoded symlink names (wasn't NULL-terminating the result
  of readlink())

  bit displaying

- fixed tar_extract_all() in wrapper.c to only call print_long_ls() if
  the TAR_VERBOSE option is set
