Hello,

Tar version 1.13.93 is available from anonymous ftp at alpha.gnu.org.
This is the next alpha release on the road to tar 1.14.

The list of most significant changes since the previous
1.13.92 follows:

* Support for UTF-8 encoding in POSIX format archives.
* New option --pax-option allows to control the handling of POSIX
  keywords in `pax' extended headers. It is equivalent to `pax'
  -o option.
  
* Bugfixes:
** --no-recursion bug
** removed stripping of './' prefixes
** --incremental and --listed-incremental options work correctly on
individual files, as well as on directories.
** Minor fixes in handling of sparse files.
** Environment variable POSIXLY_CORRECT no longer forces tar to switch
to POSIX format archives.
** Previous versions incorrectly handled a single zero blocks as an
indicator of the end of archive. This is fixed.

Comments and bug reports are welcome.

Regards,
Sergey
