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.
