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
r211054 (kientzle);
Fix -R when used with -p. Previously, the
uname and gname weren't overwritten, so the
disk restore would use those to lookup the
original uid/gid again. Clearing the uname
and gname prevents this.
r212263 (gjb):
Fix typo in bsdcpio manual:
s/libarchive_formats/libarchive-formats
MFC after: 2 weeks
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
r204111 (uqs):
Fix common misspelling of hierarchy
r208027 (uqs):
mdoc: move CAVEATS, BUGS and SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS sections to the
bottom of the manpages and order them consistently.
GNU groff doesn't care about the ordering, and doesn't even mention
CAVEATS and SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS as common sections and where to put
them.
r208291 (uqs):
mdoc: consistently spell our email addresses <foo@FreeBSD.org>
r209031 (uqs):
mdoc nitpicking: the title argument shall be uppercase
r214822 (kientzle):
Clarify the naming: Methods that free an object should
be called "free". Retain the old "finish" names to preserve
source compatibility for now.
r214905 (kientzle):
If the Zip reader doesn't see a PK signature block
because there's inter-entry garbage, just scan forward
to find the next one. This allows us to handle a lot
of Zip archives that have been modified in-place.
Thanks to: Gleb Kurtsou for sending me a sample archive
r216258 (kientzle):
Don't write data into an empty "file."
In particular, this check avoids a warning when
extracting directory entries from certain GNU tar
archives that store directory contents.
r225525 (kientzle):
Fix cpio on ARM.
MFC after: 2 weeks
Add compatibility for ISO images created with unfixed makefs that
violated ECMA-119 (ISO9660): allow reserved4 to be 0x20 in PVD.
This allows tar to read FreeBSD distribution ISO images created
with makefs prior to NetBSD bin/45217 bugfix (up to 9.0-BETA1).
