Many bugs have just been fixed in GNU tar, including almost all that
were discussed here.  The only problem not fixed (unless I'm wrong;
always a possibility to keep in mind) was the `#define const' on IRIX
problem.  This requires coordination between several people, because
that was used in source files that were part of other programs as well
as tar.  I didn't want to delay the release of these important bug
fixes for that to happen.

People who sent in bug reports should definitely get the patches and
make sure their bugs are fixed.  There are no new features in this
release, over 1.11.

Even though this version is called 1.11.1, you should not think I am
going to label tar releases in unary.  There's dots in `1.11.1', and
there's no dots in unary.  In addition, `1.11.1' is a palindrome.

Cool, huh?

Oh yeah, you can get this as `tar-1.11.1.tar.Z' on prep.ai.mit.edu.
There are also context diffs; `tar-1.11-1.11.1-diff' will hold those.
