OLDER NEWS SUMMARIES
Mar 19, 2006: libarchive 1.2.51 released
Mar 18, 2006: Many fixes to extended attribute support, including a redesign
of the storage format to simplify debugging.

spending much time on.

for extended attributes (Currently Linux-only.).

Pax attribute entry names.

appreciated; this is not enabled by archive_read_support_format_all()
yet as I'm not quite content with the format detection heuristics.

minor bugfixes.
