The tar implementation corrects many bugs in corner cases of the file format.
The <a href="/pkg/archive/tar/#Reader"><code>Reader</code></a> is now able to process tar files in the PAX format with entries larger than 8GB.
The <a href="/pkg/archive/tar/#Writer"><code>Writer</code></a> no longer produces invalid tar files in some situations involving long pathnames.

There have been some minor fixes to the encoder to improve the
compression ratio in certain situations. As a result, the exact
encoded output of DEFLATE may be different from Go 1.7. Since
DEFLATE is the underlying compression of gzip, ping, zlib, and zip,
those formats may have changed outputs.
</p>
<p>
The encoder, when operating in
<a href="/pkg/compress/flate/#NoCompression"><code>NoCompression</code></a>
mode, now produces a consistent output that is not dependent on
the size of the input buffer to the
<a href="/pkg/compress/flate/#Writer.Write"><code>Write</code></a>

The <a href="/pkg/compress/gzip/#Writer"><code>Writer</code></a>
now encodes a zero <code>MTIME</code> field when
the <a href="/pkg/compress/gzip/#Header"><code>Header.ModTime</code></a>
field is the zero value.
In previous releases of Go, the <code>Writer</code> would encode
a non-sensible value.
Similarly,
the <a href="/pkg/compress/gzip/#Reader"><code>Reader</code></a>
now updates the <code>Header.ModTime</code> field only if the
encoded MTIME field is non-zero.
