[*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the
.sig suffix) is intact.  First, be sure to download both the .sig file
and the corresponding tarball.  Then, run a command like this:

  gpg --verify tar-1.32.tar.gz.sig

If that command fails because you don't have the required public key,
then run this command to import it:

  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 3602B07F55D0C732

and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.

Noteworthy changes in this release:

* Fix the use of --checkpoint without explicit --checkpoint-action

* Fix extraction with the -U option

See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2019-01/msg00015.html,
for details

* Fix iconv usage on BSD-based systems

* Fix possible NULL dereference (savannah bug #55369)

* Improve the testsuite

Sergey
