For creating a zip archive: 7zip could write extra zero bytes after the end of the archive,
if a file included to archive cannot be compressed to a size smaller than original.
The created zip archive is correct except for the useless zero bytes after the end of the archive.
When unpacking such a zip archive, 7zip displays a warning:
"WARNING: There are data after the end of archive".
The bug was fixed: there was a leak of GDI objects (internal resources in Windows)
in "Confirm File Replace" window, causing problems after 1600 displays of "Confirm File Replace"
window from same running 7zip process.
Some optimizations for displaying file icons in 7zip File Manager and in "Confirm File Replace" window.

be decoded by the specified version {MMNN} of 7zip and newer versions.
If -myv={MMNN} switch is not specified, -myv=2300 is used, and 7zip will only
use compression methods that can be decoded by 7zip 23.00 and newer versions.
New switch -myfa={FilterID} to allow 7zip to use the specified filter method for 7z archive creating.

Some bugs were fixed.

7zip 23.00

2023-05-07

7zip 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 7zip 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 7zip creates multivolume archive, 7zip 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.
7zip for Linux and macOS now can reduce the number of simultaneously open files,
when 7zip 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 7zip'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 7zip menu commands.
There are changes in code for the drag-and-drop operations to and from 7zip File Manager.
And the drag-and-drop operation with right button of mouse now is supported for some cases.

- ZIP archives: if multithreaded zip compression was performed with more than one
file to stdout stream (-so switch), 7zip didn't write "data descriptor" for some files.
- ext4 archives: 7zip couldn't correctly extract symbolic link to directory from ext4 archives.
- HFS and APFS archives: 7zip incorrectly decoded uncompressed blocks (64 KiB) in compressed forks.
- HFS : zlib without Adler supported
- Some another bugs were fixed.

7zip now can extract APFS (Apple File System) images that can be used in DMG files.
7zip now can create TAR archives in POSIX (pax) tar format with the switches
-ttar -mm=pax or -ttar -mm=posix
7zip now can store additional file timestamps with high precision (1 ns in Linux)
in tar/pax archives with the following switches:
-ttar -mm=pax -mtp=3 -mtc -mta
New switches for Linux version for TAR archives:
-snoi : store owner/group ids in archive or set owner/group ids from archive to extracted files.
-snon : store owner/group names in archive
New -snz switch to propagate Zone.Identifier stream to extracted files (Windows).
New option "Propagate Zone.Id stream" in Tools/Options/7zip menu.
New "Options" window in "Add to archive" allows to select what metadata must be
included to archive. Also it allows to select new option
"Do not change source files last access time".
Some bugs were fixed.

7zip 21.07

2021-12-26

7zip now can extract VHDX disk images (Microsoft Hyper-V Virtual Hard Disk v2 format).
New switches: -spm and -im!{file_path} to exclude directories from processing
for specified paths that don't contain path separator character at the end of path.
In the "Add to Archive" window, now it is allowed to use -m prefix for "Parameters"
field as in command line: -mparam.
The sorting order of files in archives was slightly changed to be more consistent
for cases where the name of some directory is the same as the prefix part of the name
of another directory or file.
TAR archives created by 7zip now are more consistent with archives created by GNU TAR program.

7zip 21.06

2021-11-24

The window "Add to Archive" now allows to set a limit on memory usage (RAM)
that will be used for compressing.

for compressing and decompressing.
Bug in versions 21.00-21.05 was fixed:
7zip didn't set attributes of directories during archive extracting.

of file names and SHA-256 checksums in format compatible with sha256sum program.
7zip can work with such checksum files as with archives,
but these files don't contain real file data.
The context menu commands to create and test "sha256" files:
7zip / CRC SHA / SHA-256 -> file.sha256
7zip / CRC SHA / Test Archive : Checksum
The commands for command line version:
7z a -thash file.sha256 *.txt
7z t -thash file.sha256
7z t -thash -shd. file.sha256
New -shd{dir_path} switch to set the directory that is used to check files
referenced by "file.sha256" file for "Test" operation.
If -shd{dir_path} is not specified, 7zip uses the directory where "file.sha256" is stored.
New -xtd switch to exclude directory metadata records from processing.
