Na negen alphareleases is maandag de eerste bètarelease van versie 4.58 van het opensource archiveringsprogramma 7-Zip verschenen. Dit programma kan overweg met een groot aantal compressieformaten, waaronder zip, cab, rar, arj, lzh, chm, gzip, bzip2, z, tar, cpio, rpm, deb en uiteraard het zelfontwikkelde 7z. Verder is de software in staat om iso-bestanden en nsis-installatiepakketten te openen. Hieronder is te vinden wat er allemaal veranderd is:

Changes in version 4.58 beta:

• Some speed optimizations.
• 7-Zip now can unpack .lzma archives.
• Unicode (UTF-8) support for filenames in .ZIP archives. Now there are 3 modes:
  • Default mode: 7-Zip uses UTF-8, if the local code page doesn't contain required symbols.
  • -mcu switch: 7-Zip uses UTF-8, if there are non-ASCII symbols.
  • -mcl switch: 7-Zip uses local code page.
• Now it's possible to store file creation time in 7z and ZIP archives (-mtc switch).
• 7-Zip now can unpack multivolume RAR archives created with "old style volume names" scheme and names *.001, *.002, ...
• Now it's possible to use -mSW
• and -mSW+ switches instead of -mSW=off and -mSW=on
• Some bugs were fixed.
• New localizations: Punjabi (Indian), Pashto.
