HISTORY of the 7-Zip source code
--------------------------------

26.02          2026-06-25
-------------------------
- Some bugs and vulnerabilities were fixed.


26.01          2026-04-27
-------------------------
- linux version of 7-Zip can use huge pages (2 MB pages). It can increase compression
  speed for 10% for 7z/xz/LZMA/LZMA2 compression.
- new -spo[d|c|r] switch specifies the path generation mode for the output directory
  for archive extraction. The output directory path is generated from the path specified
  in the -o{dir_path} switch and the name of the archive being unpacked.
    -spod : for Linux/Posix/macOS: -o{dir_path} specifies the direct path to the output directory.
            The asterisk (*) character in {dir_path} will not be replaced by the archive name.
    -spoc : 7-Zip will concatenate the path specified in -o{dir_path} with the archive name
            to form the final path to the output directory.
    -spor : 7-Zip will replace asterisk (*) character in the path specified in the -o{dir_path}
            with the archive name. This is the default option.
- some bugs were fixed.


26.00          2026-02-12
-------------------------
- improved code for ZIP, CPIO, RAR, UFD, QCOW, Compound.
- 7-Zip File Manager: improved sorting order of the file list. It uses file name as secondary sorting key.
- 7-Zip File Manager: improved Benchmark to support systems with more than 64 CPU threads.
- the bug was fixed: 7-Zip could not correctly extract TAR archives containing sparse files.
- some bugs were fixed.


25.01          2025-08-03
-------------------------
- CVE-2025-55188 : The code for handling symbolic links has been changed
  to provide greater security when extracting files from archives.
  Command line switch -snld20 can be used to bypass default security
  checks when creating symbolic links.


25.00          2025-07-05
-------------------------
- 7-Zip for Windows can now use more than 64 CPU threads for compression
  to zip/7z/xz archives and for the 7-Zip benchmark.
  If there are more than one processor group in Windows (on systems with more than
  64 cpu threads), 7-Zip distributes running CPU threads across different processor groups.
- bzip2 compression speed was increased by 15-40%.
- deflate (zip/gz) compression speed was increased by 1-3%.
- improved support for zip, cpio and fat archives.
- fixed some bugs.
- CVE-2025-11001 and CVE-2025-11002 : A vulnerability was fixed for symbolic links processing,
  when extracting files from archives.
- the bug was fixed : CVE-2025-53816 : 7-Zip could work incorrectly for some incorrect RAR archives.
- the bug was fixed : CVE-2025-53817 : 7-Zip could crash for some incorrect COM (Compound File) archives.


24.09          2024-11-29
-------------------------
- The default dictionary size values for LZMA/LZMA2 compression methods were increased:
         dictionary size   compression level
  v24.08  v24.09  v24.09
          32-bit  64-bit
    8 MB   16 MB   16 MB   -mx4
   16 MB   32 MB   32 MB   -mx5 : Normal
   32 MB   64 MB   64 MB   -mx6
   32 MB   64 MB  128 MB   -mx7 : Maximum
   64 MB   64 MB  256 MB   -mx8
   64 MB   64 MB  256 MB   -mx9 : Ultra
  The default dictionary size values for 32-bit versions of LZMA/LZMA2 don't exceed 64 MB.
- 7-Zip now can calculate the following hash checksums: SHA-512, SHA-384, SHA3-256 and MD5.
- APM and HFS support was improved.
- If an archive update operation uses a temporary archive folder and
  the archive is moved to the destination folder, 7-Zip shows the progress of moving
  the archive file, as this operation can take a long time if the archive is large.
- The bug was fixed: 7-Zip File Manager didn't propagate Zone.Identifier stream
  for extracted files from nested archives (if there is open archive inside another open archive).
- Some bugs were fixed.


24.08          2024-08-11
-------------------------
- The bug in 7-Zip 24.00-24.07 was fixed:
  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".
- Some bugs were fixed.


24.07          2024-06-19
-------------------------
- Changes in files:
    Asm/x86/Sha256Opt.asm
    Asm/x86/Sha1Opt.asm
  Now it uses "READONLY" flag for constant array segment.
  It fixes an issue where ".rodata" section in 7-Zip for x86/x64 Linux had a "WRITE" attribute.
- The bug was fixed: 7-Zip could crash for some incorrect ZSTD archives.


24.06          2024-05-26
-------------------------
- The bug was fixed: 7-Zip could not unpack some ZSTD archives.
 

24.05          2024-05-14
-------------------------
- New switch -myv={MMNN} to set decoder compatibility version for 7z archive creating.
  {MMNN} is 4-digit number that represents the version of 7-Zip without a dot.
  If -myv={MMNN} switch is specified, 7-Zip will only use compression methods that can
  be decoded by the specified version {MMNN} of 7-Zip and newer versions.
  If -myv={MMNN} switch is not specified, -myv=2300 is used, and 7-Zip will only
  use compression methods that can be decoded by 7-Zip 23.00 and newer versions.
- New switch -myfa={FilterID} to    allow 7-Zip to use the specified filter method for 7z archive creating.
- New switch -myfd={FilterID} to disallow 7-Zip to use the specified filter method for 7z archive creating.


24.03          2024-03-23
-------------------------
- 7-Zip now can use new RISCV filter for compression to 7z and xz archives.
  RISCV filter can increase compression ratio for data containing executable
  files compiled for RISC-V architecture.
- The speed for LZMA and LZMA2 decompression in ARM64 version for Windows
  was increased by 20%-60%.
  It uses arm64 assembler code, and clang-cl is required for arm64 assembler code compiling.
- Some bugs were fixed.


24.01          2024-01-31
-------------------------
- 7-Zip uses file C/Precomp.h that is included to all c and c++ files.
  CPP/Common/Common.h also includes C/Precomp.h.
  C/Precomp.h defines the following macros (if _WIN32 is defined):
    Z7_LARGE_PAGES 1
    Z7_LONG_PATH 1
    Z7_WIN32_WINNT_MIN  0x0500 (or higher)
    _WIN32_WINNT        0x0500 (or higher)
    WINVER  _WIN32_WINNT
    UNICODE 1
    _UNICODE 1
  if _WIN32_WINNT is defined already, C/Precomp.h doesn't redefine it.

- 7-Zip now can unpack ZSTD archives (.zst extension).
- 7-Zip now can unpack ZIP and SquashFS archives that use ZSTD compression method.
- 7-Zip now supports fast hash algorithm XXH64 that is used in ZSTD.
- Speed optimizations for archive unpacking: rar, zip, gz, wim, cab.
- Speed optimizations for hash caclulation: CRC-32, CRC-64, Blake2sp.
- The bug was fixed: 7-Zip for Linux could fail for multivolume creation in some cases.
- Some bugs were fixed.


23.01          2023-06-20
-------------------------
- All external macros for compiling C/C++ code of 7-Zip now have Z7_ prefix.
- 7-Zip COM interfaces now use new macros that allow to declare and implement COM interface.
- The code has been modified to compile with the maximum diagnostic warning level:
    -Wall in MSVC and -Weverything in CLANG.
  And some warning types are disabled in 2 files:
    - C/Compiler.h for C/C++ code warnings.
    - CPP/Common/Common.h for C++ code warnings.
- Linux/macOS versions of 7-Zip: IUnknown interface in new code doesn't use
  virtual destructor that was used in previous 7-Zip and p7zip:
     // virtual ~IUnknown() {}
  So 7-Zip's dynamically linked shared libraries (codecs) are not compatible
  between new 7-Zip for Linux/macOS and old 7-Zip (and p7zip).
- Some optimizations in filters code: BCJ, BCJ2, Swap* and opthers.
- If 7-Zip uses BCJ2 filter for big datasets compressing, it can use additional temp
  files in system's TEMP folder. 7-Zip uses temp file for additional compressed
  data stream, if size of such compressed stream is larger than predefined limit:
  16 MiB in 32-bit version, 4 GiB in 64-bit version.
- Some bugs were fixed.

   
22.00          2022-06-16
-------------------------
- 7-Zip interfaces now support high precision (1 ns) timestamps with reserved
  fields of tagPROPVARIANT (VT_FILETIME).


21.07          2021-12-26
-------------------------
- 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 7-Zip now are more consistent with archives created by GNU TAR program.


21.06          2021-11-24
-------------------------
- Bug in LZMA encoder in file LzmaEnc.c was fixed:
  LzmaEnc_MemEncode(), LzmaEncode() and LzmaCompress() could work incorrectly,
    if size value for output buffer is smaller than size required for all compressed data.
  LzmaEnc_Encode() could work incorrectly,
    if callback ISeqOutStream::Write() doesn't write all compressed data.
  NCompress::NLzma::CEncoder::Code() could work incorrectly,
    if callback ISequentialOutStream::Write() returns error code.
- Bug in versions 21.00-21.05 was fixed:
  7-Zip didn't set attributes of directories during archive extracting.


21.04 beta     2021-11-02
-------------------------
- 7-Zip now reduces the number of working CPU threads for compression,
  if RAM size is not enough for compression with big LZMA2 dictionary.
- 7-Zip now can create and check "file.sha256" and "file.sha1" text files
  that contain the list of file names and SHA-1 / SHA-256 checksums in format
  compatible with sha1sum/sha256sum programs.


21.03 beta     2021-07-20
-------------------------

- Some bugs were fixed.


20.02 alpha    2020-08-08
-------------------------
- The default number of LZMA2 chunks per solid block in 7z archive was increased to 64.
  It allows to increase the compression speed for big 7z archives, if there is a big number
  of CPU cores and threads.
- The speed of PPMd compressing/decompressing was increased for 7z/ZIP/RAR archives.
- The new -ssp switch. If the switch -ssp is specified, 7-Zip doesn't allow the system
  to modify "Last Access Time" property of source files for archiving and hashing operations.
- Some bugs were fixed.


20.00 alpha    2020-02-06
-------------------------
- 7-Zip now supports new optional match finders for LZMA/LZMA2 compression: bt5 and hc5,
  that can work faster than bt4 and hc4 match finders for the data with big redundancy.
- The compression ratio was improved for Fast and Fastest compression levels with the
  following default settings:
   - Fastest level (-mx1) : hc5 match finder with 256 KB dictionary.
   - Fast    level (-mx3) : hc5 match finder with 4 MB dictionary.
- Minor speed optimizations in multithreaded LZMA/LZMA2 compression for Normal/Maximum/Ultra
  compression levels.
- bzip2 decoding code was updated to support bzip2 archives, created by lbzip2 program.

  There was memory leak in multithreading xz decoder - XzDecMt_Decode(),
  if xz stream contains only one block.
- 7-Zip 18.02-18.05 used only one CPU thread for bz2 archive creation.
- The changes for MSVS compiler makefiles:
   - the makefiles now use "PLATFORM" macroname with values (x64, x86, arm64)
     instead of "CPU" macroname with values (AMD64, ARM64).
   - the makefiles by default now use static version of the run-time library.


18.05          2018-04-30
-------------------------
- The speed for LZMA/LZMA2 compressing was increased
    by 8% for fastest/fast compression levels and
    by 3% for normal/maximum compression levels.
- Previous versions of 7-Zip could work incorrectly in "Large memory pages" mode in
  Windows 10 because of some BUG with "Large Pages" in Windows 10.
  Now 7-Zip doesn't use "Large Pages" on Windows 10 up to revision 1709 (16299).


18.03 beta     2018-03-04
-------------------------
- Asm\x86\LzmaDecOpt.asm: new optimized LZMA decoder written in asm
  for x64 with about 30% higher speed than main version of LZMA decoder written in C.
- The speed for single-thread LZMA/LZMA2 decoder written in C was increased by 3%.

- Some bugs were fixed,


15.12          2015-11-19
-------------------------
- The BUG in C version of 7z decoder was fixed:
  7zDec.c : SzDecodeLzma2()
  7z decoder could mistakenly report about decoding error for some 7z archives
  that use LZMA2 compression method.
  The probability to get that mistaken decoding error report was about
  one error per 16384 solid blocks for solid blocks larger than 16 KB (compressed size).
- The BUG (in 9.26-15.11) in C version of 7z decoder was fixed:
  7zArcIn.c : SzReadHeader2()
  7z decoder worked incorrectly for 7z archives that contain
  empty solid blocks, that can be placed to 7z archive, if some file is
  unavailable for reading during archive creation.


15.09 beta     2015-10-16
-------------------------
- The BUG in LZMA / LZMA2 encoding code was fixed.
  The BUG in LzFind.c::MatchFinder_ReadBlock() function.
  If input data size is larger than (4 GiB - dictionary_size),
  the following code worked incorrectly:
  -  LZMA : LzmaEnc_MemEncode(), LzmaEncode() : LZMA encoding functions
     for compressing from memory to memory.
     That BUG is not related to LZMA encoder version that works via streams.
  -  LZMA2 : multi-threaded version of LZMA2 encoder worked incorrectly, if
     default value of chunk size (CLzma2EncProps::blockSize) is changed
     to value larger than (4 GiB - dictionary_size).


9.38 beta      2015-01-03
-------------------------

-------------------------
- The BUG in command line version was fixed:
  7-Zip created temporary archive in current folder during update archive
  operation, if -w{Path} switch was not specified.
  The fixed 7-Zip creates temporary archive in folder that contains updated archive.
- The BUG in 9.33-9.35 was fixed:
  7-Zip silently ignored file reading errors during 7z or gz archive creation,
  and the created archive contained only part of file that was read before error.
  The fixed 7-Zip stops archive creation and it reports about error.


9.31           2012-10-31
-------------------------
- InBuffer.h : CInBuffer  uses ISequentialInStream  *_stream; instead of CMyComPtr<ISequentialInStream>

9.02           2009-04-23
-------------------------
- Bug was fixed: if swap2 filter was requests at compression,
  7-zip used swap4 filter instead (but id was swap2), so archives were incorrect.
  
4.61           2008-11-23
-------------------------
- Bug in ver. 4.58+ was fixed:
   7-Zip didn't use any -m* switch after -mtc, -mcl or -mcu for .zip archives.
- Bug in .CAB code was fixed. 7-Zip didn't show some empty files,
  if .CAB archive contains more than one empty file.
   

4.59           2008-07-27
-------------------------
- Bug was fixed:
   LZMA Encoder in fast compression mode could access memory outside of
   allocated range in some rare cases.
   

4.59 alpha     2008-05-30
-------------------------
- BUGS was fixed:
    7zOut.cpp: 7-Zip incorrectly wrote size of property records in some cases.
    7zIn.cpp:  7-Zip incorrectly work with archive, containg archive properties.

-------------------------
- BUG was fixed: 7-Zip showed incorrect timestamps in ISO files.


4.58 alpha 8   2008-04-15
-------------------------
- BUG in 4.58 alpha 5/6/7 was fixed:
    LZMA encoder worked incorrectly, if lp != 0.
- Unicode (UTF-8) support for filenames in .ZIP archives. Now there are 3 modes:
    1) Default mode: 7-Zip uses UTF-8, if the local code page doesn't contain required symbols.
    2) -mcu switch:  7-Zip uses UTF-8, if there are non-ASCII symbols.
    3) -mcl switch:  7-Zip uses local code page.
- Now it's possible to use -mSW- and -mSW+ switches instead of -mSW=off and -mSW=on


4.58 alpha 7   2008-04-08
-------------------------
- BUG was fixed: BZip2Encoder and BZip2Decoder used CEvent objects without
  creating, when BZip2 code was called with one thread (with -mmt1 switch or with
  default switches on single thread CPU).
- .lzma support.
- RPM and NSIS support was improved.
- LZMA now stores only (2 << n) or (3 << n) dictionary size value to LZMA properties.


4.58 alpha 6   2008-03-27
-------------------------
- NTFS time extra in ZIP.
- New item property - kpidTimeType - VT_UI4 (0 - NTFS, 1 - Unix, 2 - DOS).
- Static CRC table is not required now for Lzma Encoder (in Lz MatchFinder).


4.58 alpha 5   2008-03-19
-------------------------
- Creation time (-mtc switch) for .7z archives
- LZMA encoder was converted to ANSI-C


4.58 alpha 3   2008-02-25
-------------------------
- Speed optimizations for LZMA decoding. Now it uses C code instead of C++.
- 7-Zip now has 128 MB dictionary limit for 32-bit version:
  It's for speed optimization: kNumLogBits = 9 + sizeof(size_t) / 2;
- TAR: 'D' link flag support.
- 7-Zip now can unpack multivolume RAR archives created with
  "old style volume names" scheme (-vn switch) and names *.001, *.002, ...
- Fixed bugs:
  - 7-Zip FM could not copy / move files to root network folders like \\COMPNAME\FOLDERNAME\
    In case of move it removed original files.
  - SFX-WIN: if there are errors, it still could return 0.
  - ZIP (.XPS file) isZip64 && thisDiskNumber16 == 0xFFFF.
  - ZIP name updating:
      If zip file contains extra field and you try to change properties of files,
      7-zip tries to delete all extra fileds (except for WzAES).
      And that code could hang.
  -  7-Zip GUI didn't suggest BZip2 dictionary size used in previous run.
  -  If creation time stamp was included in .RAR archive, 7-zip used creation time stamp
     as modification time stamp.
