Igor Pavlov, its developer software open source 7-zip, released yesterday the version 18.06.
Το 7-Zip για όσους δεν το γνωρίζουν, είναι ένα δωρεάν, ανοικτού κώδικα, πρόγραμμα αρχειοθέτησης files, που μπορεί και αποσυμπιέζει όλων των γνωστών τύπων αρχεία, όπως τα zip, rar, ext, iso, vim, tar, gzip, 7z κλπ και να συμπιέζει σε μορφές 7z, xz, bzip2, gzip, tar, zip και wim. Επίσης υποστηρίζει την Ελληνική γλώσσα και έχει την δυνατότητα να κρυπτογραφεί σε AES-256 στις μορφές 7z και zip.
It is one of the free programs that not only uses the European Commission, but also finances third-party hackers to conduct bug surveys to ensure that the program is always safe.
The new version is the third and final version for 2018 and is available as a download for the Windows and for the other supported operating systems, from the official site. Existing 7-Zip installations can be upgraded to the new version by installing 18.06 on top of the existing installation. Windows users who prefer portable software can also download from here.
The official list of changes lists the following changes and improvements.
- The LZMA / LZMA2 compression speed was increased by 3-10% and there were minor changes in the compression ratio.
- Some bugs were corrected.
- Bug in 7-Zip 18.02-18.05 fixed: there was leakage memory in the xz decoder.
- 7-Zip 18.02-18.05 used only one CPU thread to create a bz2 file.
The two key new features of 7-Zip 18.06 are the compression performance improvements for LZMA and LZMA2 compression formats and the correction of a memory leak in the xz decoder.
The program 7-Zip is one of the top-5 file compression programs along with the history WinRAR, the WinISO, the WinZIP and Bandizip.
