With a lot of new changes and bug fixes, you can only expect something better from a program like 7-Zip. 7-Zip has been outstanding over the years, and it keeps getting better with newly added features and fixes. You can find out more about it below:

What’s the deal about 7-Zip?

7-Zip is a file archiver with the high compression ratio. The program supports 7z, ZIP, CAB, RAR, ARJ, LZH, CHM, GZIP, BZIP2, Z, TAR, CPIO, RPM and DEB formats. Compression ratio in the new 7z format is 30-50% better than ratio in ZIP format.

Some new updates include the following: command line version of 7-Zip could work incorrectly, if there is relative path in exclude filename option (-x) and absolute path as include filename; 7-Zip could not open some unusual 7z archives that were created by another software (not by 7-Zip); BUG in 9.31-9.33 was fixed: 7-Zip could crash with switch –tcab; and a few others.

7-Zip also retains some of its old features that include the following: strong AES-256 encryption in 7z and ZIP formats; self-extracting capability for 7z format; integration with Windows Shell; powerful File Manager; and a host of others.
