(http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/#releases) # New option --auto-compress (-a) With --create, selects compression algorithm basing on the suffix of the archive file name. # New option --lzma Selects LZMA compression algorithm. # New option --hard-dereference During archive creation, dereferences hard links and stores the files they refer to, instead of creating usual hard link members (type '1'). # New option --checkpoint-action This action allows to specify an action to be executed upon hitting a checkpoint. Recognized actions are: dot, echo (the default), echo=string, ttyout=string, exec=cmdline, and sleep=value. Any number of --checkpoint-action options can be specified, the actions will be executed in order of their appearance in the command line. See section 3.8 "Checkpoints" for a complete description. # New options --no-check-device, --check-device. The --no-check-device option disables comparing device numbers during preparatory stage of an incremental dump. This allows to avoid creating full dumps if the device numbers change (e.g. when using an LVM snapshot). The --check-device option enables comparing device numbers. This is the default. This option is provided to undo the effect of the previous --no-check-device option, e.g. if it was set in TAR_OPTIONS environment variable. # The --transform option. Any number of --transform options can be given in the command line. The specified transformations will be applied in turn. Argument to --transform option can be a list of replace expressions, separated by a semicolon (as in sed). Filename transformations are applied to symbolic link targets during both creation and extraction. Tar 1.19 used them only during extraction. For a detailed description, see section 6.7 "Modifying File and Member Names". # Info (end-of-volume) scripts The value of the blocking factor is made available to info and checkpoint scripts via environment variable TAR_BLOCKING_FACTOR. # Incremental archives Improved (sped up) extracting from incremental archives. # Bugfixes. * Fix bug introduced in version 1.19: tar refused to update non- existing archives.
