Changes in version 0.13:
Changes in version 0.14:
Skipping of unreadable files during multi-threaded archive creation with
per-file compression has been fixed. Tarlz did produce empty lzip members,
and sometines left the last files out of the archive.
The new option '--exclude', which excludes files matching a shell pattern,
has been added.
Multi-threaded listing of tar.lz archives containing empty lzip members has
been fixed. It listed members out of order and sometimes hung.
The new option '-h, --dereference', which instructs tarlz to follow symbolic
links during archive creation, appending or comparison, has been added.
(The short option name '-h' no longer means '--help').
When creating an archive, negative modification times are now stored as cero
(1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC). Negative times are not portable.
Concatenation and appending to uncompressed archives and to standard output
have been implemented.
The new option '--out-slots', setting the number of output packets buffered
per worker thread during multi-threaded creation and appending to compressed
archives, has been added. Increasing the number of packets may increase
compression speed if the files being archived are larger than 64 MiB
compressed, but requires more memory.
