New minor version.
List of changes in this release:
* 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.
* 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.
