Some of new features:
- New readers: RAR, LHA/LZH, CAB reader, 7-Zip
- New writers: ISO9660, XAR
- Improvements to many formats, especially including ISO9660 and Zip
- Stackable write filters to write, e.g., tar.gz.uu in a single pass
- Exploit seekable input; new "seekable" Zip reader can exploit the Zip
Central Directory when it's available; the old "streamable" Zip reader
is still fully supported for cases where seeking is not possible.

r204111 (uqs):
Fix common misspelling of hierarchy
r207786 (kientzle):
Various manpage updates, including many long-option synonyms that were
previously undocumented.
r208028 (uqs):
mdoc: move remaining sections into consistent order
This pertains mostly to FILES, HISTORY, EXIT STATUS and AUTHORS sections.
r209152 (kientzle):
If the compressed data is larger than the uncompressed,
report the compression ratio as 0% instead of displaying
nonsense triggered by numeric overflow. This is common
when dealing with uncompressed files when the I/O blocking
causes there to be small transient differences in the
accounting.
r210720 (joel):
Fix typos.
r223541 (kientzle):
If there is a read error reading Y/N confirmation from the keyboard,
exit immediately with an error.
If there is an error opening or reading a file to put into the archive,
set the return value for a deferred error exit.
r223573 (kientzle):
The --newer-than test should descend into old
directories to look for new files.
r226636 (kientzle):
Typo from previous commit. Urgh.
r224153 (mm, partial):
Update bsdtar.1 manpage
MFC after: 2 weeks
