libtar 1.2.20 - 2013/10/09 (Chris Frey)
-------------
Added extern "C" protectors to listhash.h
Added autoconf checks for __thread compiler support
Fixed size_t overflow bug, as reported by Timo Warns
Fixed thread-safe bug in th_get_pathname() (Sergey Zhitomirsky)
libtar 1.2.19 - 2012/12/11 (Chris Frey)
-------------
Removed varargs.h and all dependencies, to avoid user compile errors
Fixed some short int / int compiler warnings in va_arg() usage
Fixed some gcc built-in compiler warnings
Changed autoconf support code from AC_RUN_ to AC_COMPILE_ to fix
issues reported during cross-compiling.
Applied most of Jan Cermak's const char* function argument patch.
libtar 1.2.18 - 2012/08/02 (Chris Frey)
-------------
Added more forgiving CRC checking logic when reading tar files
Note: If your application uses the macro th_crc_ok(), then to gain full
advantage of the changes in this version, you will need to recompile
your application against the new headers. Otherwise, the library is
drop-in replaceable, as usual.
