   I wonder, I have a version of GNU tar (1.10) and 8 months ago there
   was talk about a newer updated version/manual. Is somebody working
   on this?  Jay?

I am the GNU tar maintainer.  Tar 1.10 is in fact the most recent
version.  There are some bug fixes and extensions in the works, but
none that should affect the normal operation of tar, or its use for
making backups.

The manual is (still) being worked on.  When it is ready, a release of
tar will be made at the same time, complete with many bug fixes, a few
new features, and the new manual.
