17.01 beta 2017-08-28
-------------------------
- Minor speed optimization for LZMA2 (xz and 7z) multi-threading compression.
7-Zip now uses additional memory buffers for multi-block LZMA2 compression.
CPU utilization was slightly improved.
- 7-zip now creates multi-block xz archives by default. Block size can be
specified with -ms[Size]{m|g} switch.
- xz decoder now can unpack random block from multi-block xz archives.
7-Zip File Manager now can open nested multi-block xz archives
(for example, image.iso.xz) without full unpacking of xz archive.
- 7-Zip now can create zip archives from stdin to stdout.
- 7-Zip command line: @listfile now doesn't work after -- switch.
Use -i@listfile before -- switch instead.
- The BUGs were fixed:
7-Zip could add unrequired alternate file streams to WIM archives,
for commands that contain filename wildcards and -sns switch.
7-Zip 17.00 beta crashed for commands that write anti-item to 7z archive.
7-Zip 17.00 beta ignored "Use large memory pages" option.
New 7-Zip beta out:
18.00 beta 2018-01-10
-------------------------
- 7-Zip now can unpack OBJ/COFF files.
- new -sse switch to stop archive creating, if 7-Zip can't open some input file.
- Some bugs were fixed.
