The main features of 7-Zip are:

  • High compression ratio in 7z format with LZMA compression

  • Strong AES-256 encryption in 7z and ZIP formats
  • Self-extracting capability for 7z format
  • Integration with Windows Shell
  • Powerful File Manager

7-Zip 24.08 fixes:

  • For creating a zip archive: 7-Zip 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, 7-Zip 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 7-Zip process.
  • Some optimizations for displaying file icons in 7-Zip File Manager and in "Confirm File Replace" window.
  • Some bugs were fixed.
