- update to version 1.31
* Fix heap-buffer-overrun with --one-top-level, bug introduced
with the addition of that option in 1.28
* Support for zstd compression
* New option '--zstd' instructs tar to use zstd as compression
program. When listing, extractng and comparing, zstd compressed
archives are recognized automatically. When '-a' option is in
effect, zstd compression is selected if the destination archive
name ends in '.zst' or '.tzst'.
* The -K option interacts properly with member names given in the
command line. Names of members to extract can be specified along
with the "-K NAME" option. In this case, tar will extract NAME
and those of named members that appear in the archive after it,
which is consistent with the semantics of the option. Previous
versions of tar extracted NAME, those of named members that
appeared before it, and everything after it.
* Fix CVE-2018-20482 - When creating archives with the --sparse
option, previous versions of tar would loop endlessly if a
sparse file had been truncated while being archived.
