Changes:
- Support for BSDi version 4.x
- Suport for BSDi on sparc
- Support for sparc64 FreeBSD
- Support for i786-cygwin
- Added +DAportable to the HP-UX cc compiler flags
- New Platform 9000-831-hp-ux-cc
- Added floatingpint printing support for OS/2
- Added support for macppc-netbsd-cc NetBSD on MAC
- Workaround for an OpenBSD bug in ctype.h (illegaly #defines EOF)
- Added IPv6 support to 'rmt'
- Better casting for debug printf() in 'rmt'
- Better autoconfiguration for librmt and its users yields in better
compilation and portability results for OS that do not support the
needed internet features for remote tape support.
- Special support for an undocumented but unfortunately important
"feature" for symlinks on HP-UX.
Now star tries to retain the permissions of a symlink by
stting umask() before creating the symlink.
- Fixed a bug that caused star to be unable to correctly deal with
ACLs where the user or group name contains spaces.
- Workaround for reading rotten archives caused by above bug.
- Fixed a bug that caused star to create broken archives if
the POSIX.1-2001 extended format is used for sparse files > 8 GB.
For this reason, a new extended header tag SCHILY.realsize has
been added.
- Fixed a bug that caused star to dump core on UNIX-98 TAR compat mode
with e.g. 'star cbv' because star did not check for the missing arg to
the -b option.
- 'star -n -tpath ...' now only prints the pathnames to allow
to use the ooutput directly in scripts. If you like the old
behavior, use 'star -nv ...'

Major changes since 1.4.1:
- printf() now correctly handles %X vs. %x on 64 bit machines
Removed a 20 year old local extension that became non-portable.
- new 'librmt', which may be used by any external program like e.g.
dump/restore to improve cross platform compatibility.
- librmt now allows the use of ssh(1) for remote tape access.
- smt benefits from librmt and now gives platform independent
'mt status' output in remote mode.
- New option -wready for smt.
- Better man page for 'rmt'.
- Handle a seek error problem in create mode correctly when checking
for reading past max possible file size on non-large file OS.
- Correctly propagate write/read errors from FIFO to star.
- Add support for SIGINFO (*BSD) as a courtesy to BSD users.
- Do not open /dev/tty if a newvolume script is present.
This allows the use of star from cron scripts.
- Fixed a bug in the ACL handling code on Linux that caused star to
recognize ACL comments as ACL entries and include them in the archive.
- Work around to allow star to read ACL enhanced archives that
include bogus entries that really were ACL comments created by
the bug above.

<schilling@fokus.gmd.de>.
Star is a full-featured tar command that can access local and remote
tar archives (files and tapes). It reads and writes POSIX compliant
tar archives as well as non-POSIX GNU tar archives.
Star is the first POSIX.1-2001 compliant tar implementation. It includes
a FIFO for speed, a pattern matcher, multi-volume support, the ability to
archive sparse files and ACLs and the ability to archive extended file flags.
It supports utomatic archive format detection, automatic byte order
recognition, automatic archivecompression/decompression. It includes the
only known platform independent "rmt" server program that implements all
Sun/GNU/Schily/BSD enhancements and allows any "rmt" client from any OS to
contact any OS as server.
