-Bugs fixed in 1.8.3a:
+Know issue not fixed in 1.8.3b:
+
+  Historically Automake has always generated V7 format tarballs during
+  `make dist'.  This format is quite antiquated, but is portable.  It
+  supports filenames with up to 99 characters.  When given longer
+  filenames some tar implementations will diagnose the problem while
+  other will generate broken or non-V7 tarballs.  For instance GNU tar
+  1.13.25 will produce an archive with GNU extensions, while the
+  latest GNU tar beta (1.13.93) will truncate filenames.
+
+  We are working an a new scheme for Automake 1.9 that will allow
+  newer tar formats to be used.  By the meantime, for people who
+  cannot avoid long filenames in their packages we recommand sticking
+  to GNU tar 1.13.25 and not installing newer versions.
