Log Message:
Update to 1.02, from Quentin Garnier in PR 21919.
Changes:

* important changes in version 1.02 12/6/2003:

This release holds some bugfixes over the 1.01 release, mainly these:
-   Silly thinko fix in File.pm
-   Quell some warnings if files are empty
-   The cache of previously added files was not being emtpied

Also, some new features are added:

-   Archive::Tar::File objects now have a C<has_content> method.

* important changes in version 1.01 5/6/2003:

This release holds some bugfixes over the 1.00 release, mainly these:

-   Silence some warnings when writing directories to disk.
-   A { } inside a map was interpreted as a block rather than a hashref
    constructor -- now fixed.
-   Fix write() to work again as advertised when passed no arguments.
-   This also means glob support to write is now definately not
    available.
-   Silly thinko of where splitpath() instead of splitdir() was used.

Some new features/changes:

-   Add a new method 'has_content' to Archive::Tar::File.
-   Cygwin's tests will now also use the 'short' files, since cygwin
    is built on top of an Win32 filesystem.

* important changes in version 1.00 31/5/2003:

This release marks the new development track as 'stable'. Version got
upped to '1.00'. Not many changes, merely lots of succesfull test
reports constitute this version. However, a tiny fix regarding the
reserved string 'VERSION' has been applied, as well as a few more FAQ
entries have been added.

* important changes in version 0.99_06 5/5/2003:

This release only entails a bug fix on 0.99_05 -- C<extract_archive>
was dealing wrongly with special files such as hardlinks etc. This
is now fixed.

* important changes in version 0.99_05 30/4/2003:

Apparently windows has some issues with long path names.
This version introduces an adapted test suite for Win32 machines.

* important changes in version 0.99_04 28/4/2003:

Make Archive::Tar work happily on perl 5.005_03

* important changes in version 0.99_03 28/4/2003:

This release only has bug fixes on 0.99_02.

Fixed handling of long file names when extracting with
C<extract_archive>

Fixed handling of prefixes in tar headers that contain regex meta-
characters.

Fixed a few spurious warnings about comparing non-numbers.

Expanded the test cases accordingly.

* important changes in version 0.99_02 26/3/2003:

Added options to be passed to read, namely:
	- extract (to extract while reading)
	- limit (to limit the amount of files read from the archive)

Implemented the '././@LongLink' support, which is GNU's way of
dealing with filenames that are longer than 255 chars.

Added a global variable $WARN which controls whether warnings get
printed or just stored.

Fixed a few small bugs that considered files named '0' or '' to not
really be files and refuse to package them.

* important changes in version 0.99_01 16/3/2003:

Total rewrite from the ground up. Removed as many as the nasty
bits (no pun intended) as possible and tucked them away.
No code from the old distribution remains.

Cleaned up the API, introduced clean error handling and just
generally removed a lot of cruft.

Note that Archive::Tar now requires perl version 5.005_03 or higher
to run.

Introduced 2 new submodules:
Archive::Tar::Constant
    Simply holds all constants, like block length, tar headers etc

Archive::Tar::File
    Object class for all files in a tar archive, to make for easier
    manipulataion of the archive in-memory.
    See perldoc Archive::Tar::File after installation.

Added a few features:
write() now takes an optional 3rd paramater (prefix) which will allow
you to tuck away all files in that sub directory.

rename() is introduced, allowing for easy renaming of files in the
archive.

get_files() returns a file of all Archive::Tar::File objects in the
current read-in archive.

* important changes in version 0.23, 21/1/2003:

Bundled 0.072 and 0.22 to be able to work on Win32 and non-Win32
platforms. Since the previous version is almost 3 years old, bundling
seemed like the quickest way to get a working solution again.

Archive::Tar now transparently Does The Right Thing depending what
platform you are on -- Win32 users, read the Archive::Tar::Win32
documentation!

I also suppose this makes me the new maintainer...
