I'm pleased to announce the availability of xar 1.0.

xar is a new archiver, with a library and new archive format. xar is designed to preserve the plethora of metadata associated with files in modern operating systems, including Extended Attributes and ACLs on Mac OS X 10.4, Linux, and FreeBSD. Additionally, it can preserve resource forks and finder metadata on Mac OS X 10.3.

Please see the web page for more details.
