+version 1.28, 2014-07-28
+
+* New checkpoint action: totals
+
+The --checkpoint-action=totals option instructs tar to output the
+total number of bytes transferred at each checkpoint.
+
+* Extended checkpoint format specification.
+
+New conversion specifiers are implemented.  Some of them take
+optional arguments, supplied in curly braces between the percent
+sign and the specifier letter.
+
+  %d        -  Number of seconds since tar started.
+  %{r,w,d}T -  I/O totals; optional arguments supply prefixes
+               to be used before number of bytes read, written and
+	       deleted, correspondingly.
+  %{FMT}t   -  Current local time using FMT as strftime(3) format.
+               If {FMT} is omitted, use %c.
+  %{N}*     -  Pad output with spaces to the Nth column, or to the 
+               current screen width, if {N} is not given.
+  %c        -  A shortcut for "%{%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S}t: %ds, %{read,wrote}T%*\r"
+
+* New option --one-top-level
+
+The option --one-top-level tells tar to extract all files into a
+subdirectory named by the base name of the archive (minus standard
+compression suffixes recognizable by --auto-compress).  When used with
+an argument, as in --one-top-level=DIR, the files are extracted into the
+supplied DIRectory.  This ensures that no archive members are
+extracted outside of the specified directory, even if the archive is
+crafted so as to put them elsewhere.
+
+* New option --sort
+
+The --sort=ORDER option instructs tar to sort directory entries
+according to ORDER.  It takes effect when creating archives.
+Available ORDERs are: none (the default), name and inode.  The
+latter may be absent, if the underlying system does not provide
+the necessary information.
+
+Using --sort=name ensures the member ordering in the created archive
+is uniform and reproducible.  Using --sort=inode reduces the number
+of disk seeks made when creating the archive and thus can considerably
+speed up archivation.
+
+* New exclusion options
+
+  --exclude-ignore=FILE   Before dumping a directory check if it
+                          contains FILE, and if so read exclude
+                          patterns for this directory from FILE.
+  --exclude-ignore-recursive=FILE
+                          Same as above, but the exclusion patterns
+                          read from FILE remain in effect for any
+			  subdirectory, recursively.
+  --exclude-vcs-ignores   Read exclude tags from VCS ignore files,
+                          where such files exist.  Supported VCS's
+                          are: CVS, Git, Bazaar, Mercurial.
+
+
+* Tar refuses to read input from and write output to a tty device.
+
+* Manpages
+
+This release includes official tar(1) and rmt(8) manpages.
+Distribution maintainers are kindly asked to use these instead of the
+home-made pages they have been providing so far.
