|
24.07 2024-06-19
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
- The bug was fixed: 7-Zip could crash for some incorrect ZSTD archives.
|
|
|
|
|
|
24.06 2024-05-26
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
- The bug was fixed: 7-Zip could not unpack some ZSTD archives.
|
|
|
|
|
|
24.05 2024-05-14
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
- New switch -myv={MMNN} to set decoder compatibility version for 7z archive creating.
|
|
{MMNN} is 4-digit number that represents the version of 7-Zip without a dot.
|
|
If -myv={MMNN} switch is specified, 7-Zip will only use compression methods that can
|
|
be decoded by the specified version {MMNN} of 7-Zip and newer versions.
|
|
If -myv={MMNN} switch is not specified, -myv=2300 is used, and 7-Zip will only
|
|
use compression methods that can be decoded by 7-Zip 23.00 and newer versions.
|
|
- New switch -myfa={FilterID} to allow 7-Zip to use the specified filter method for 7z archive creating.
|
|
- New switch -myfd={FilterID} to disallow 7-Zip to use the specified filter method for 7z archive creating.
|
|
- Some bugs were fixed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
24.04 2024-04-05
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
- New menu item in 7-Zip File Manager: "Tools / Delete Temporary Files...".
|
|
This menu item opens a window showing temporary folders and files
|
|
created by 7-Zip in the user's "Temp" folder on a Windows system.
|
|
In this window, the user can delete temporary files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
24.03 2024-03-23
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
- 7-Zip now can use new RISCV filter for compression to 7z and xz archives.
|
|
RISCV filter can increase compression ratio for data containing executable
|
|
files compiled for RISC-V architecture.
|
|
- The speed for LZMA and LZMA2 decompression in ARM64 version for Windows
|
|
was increased by 20%-60%.
|
|
- 7-Zip GUI and 7-Zip File Manager can ask user permission to unpack RAR archives that
|
|
require big amount of memory, if the dictionary size in RAR archive is larger than 4 GB.
|
|
- new switch -smemx{size}g : to set allowed memory usage limit for RAR archive unpacking.
|
|
RAR archives can use dictionary up 64 GB. Default allowed limit for RAR unpacking is 4 GB.
|
|
- 7zg.exe (7-Zip GUI): -y switch disables user requests and messages.
|
|
- 7-Zip shows hash methods XXH64 and BLAKE2sp in context menu.
|
|
- -slmu switch : to show timestamps as UTC instead of LOCAL TIME.
|
|
- -slsl switch : in console 7-Zip for Windows : to show file paths with
|
|
linux path separator slash '/' instead of backslash separator '\'.
|
|
- 7-Zip supports .sha256 files that use backslash path separator '\'.
|
|
- Some bugs were fixed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
24.01 2024-01-31
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
- 7-Zip now can unpack ZSTD archives (.zst filename extension).
|
|
- 7-Zip now can unpack ZIP, SquashFS and RPM archives that use ZSTD compression method.
|
|
- 7-Zip now supports fast hash algorithm XXH64 that is used in ZSTD.
|
|
- 7-Zip now can unpack RAR archives (that use larger than 4 GB dictionary) created by new WinRAR 7.00.
|
|
- 7-Zip now can unpack DMG archives that use XZ (ULMO/LZMA) compression method.
|
|
- 7-Zip now can unpack NTFS images with cluster size larger than 64 KB.
|
|
- 7-Zip now can unpack MBR and GPT images with 4 KB sectors.
|
|
- Speed optimizations for archive unpacking: rar, cab, wim, zip, gz.
|
|
- Speed optimizations for hash caclulation: CRC-32, CRC-64, BLAKE2sp.
|
|
- The bug was fixed: 7-Zip for Linux could fail for multivolume creation in some cases.
|
|
- Some bugs were fixed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
23.01 2023-06-20
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
- The page "Language" in 7-Zip's menu Tools/Options now shows information
|
|
about selected translation, including the number of translated lines.
|
|
- Some bugs were fixed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
23.00 2023-05-07
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
- 7-Zip now can use new ARM64 filter for compression to 7z and xz archives.
|
|
ARM64 filter can increase compression ratio for data containing executable
|
|
files compiled for ARM64 (AArch64) architecture.
|
|
Also 7-Zip now parses executable files (that have exe and dll filename extensions)
|
|
before compressing, and it selects appropriate filter for each parsed file:
|
|
- BCJ or BCJ2 filter for x86 executable files,
|
|
- ARM64 filter for ARM64 executable files.
|
|
Previous versions by default used x86 filter BCJ or BCJ2 for all exe/dll files.
|
|
- Default section size for BCJ2 filter was changed from 64 MiB to 240 MiB.
|
|
It can increase compression ratio for executable files larger than 64 MiB.
|
|
- UDF: support was improved.
|
|
- cpio: support for hard links.
|
|
- Some changes and optimizations in WIM creation code.
|
|
- When new 7-Zip creates multivolume archive, 7-Zip keeps in open state
|
|
only volumes that still can be changed. Previous versions kept all volumes
|
|
in open state until the end of the archive creation.
|
|
- 7-Zip for Linux and macOS now can reduce the number of simultaneously open files,
|
|
when 7-Zip opens, extracts or creates multivolume archive. It allows to avoid
|
|
the failures for cases with big number of volumes, bacause there is a limitation
|
|
for number of open files allowed for a single program in Linux and macOS.
|
|
- There are optimizations in code for 7-Zip's context menu in Explorer:
|
|
the speed of preparing of the menu showing was improved for cases when big number of
|
|
files were selected by external program for context menu that contains 7-Zip menu commands.
|
|
- There are changes in code for the drag-and-drop operations to and from 7-Zip File Manager.
|
|
And the drag-and-drop operation with right button of mouse now is supported for some cases.
|
|
- The bugs were fixed:
|
|
- ZIP archives: if multithreaded zip compression was performed with more than one
|
|
file to stdout stream (-so switch), 7-Zip didn't write "data descriptor" for some files.
|
|
- ext4 archives: 7-Zip couldn't correctly extract symbolic link to directory from ext4 archives.
|
|
- HFS and APFS archives: 7-Zip incorrectly decoded uncompressed blocks (64 KiB) in compressed forks.
|
|
- HFS : zlib without Adler supported
|
|
- Some another bugs were fixed.
