* Fixed ping warnings -- fix from Sascha Ziemann <szi@aibon.ping.de>
* Fixed update segfault
* Fixed mknod -- minor number was always 0
- * Fixed tar option parsing. In an attempt to accomodate the whiners
- that wanted "tar cf foo.tar foo" (i.e. no "-" before options)
- I broke creation of tarballs. I reverted the change (so tar needs
- the "-" for all options).
+ * Fixed tar option parsing, so both "tar xvf foo.tar" and "tar -xvf foo.tar"
+ now work (i.e. no "-" before options) (this was very broken in 0.43).
* Several contributions from Randolph Chung <tausq@debian.org>.
* cp/mv now accepts the -f flag
* tail can now accept -<num> commands (e.g. -10) for better
