• 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.
• Some bugs were fixed.

• New menu item in 7-Zip File Manager: "Tools / Delete Temporary Files...".
  This menu item opens a window showing temporary folders and files
  created by 7-Zip in the user's "Temp" folder on a Windows system.
  In this window, the user can delete temporary files.

• 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%.
• 7-Zip GUI and 7-Zip File Manager can ask user permission to unpack RAR archives that require big amount of memory, if the dictionary size in RAR archive is larger than 4 GB.
• new switch -smemx{size}g : to set allowed memory usage limit for RAR archive unpacking.
  RAR archives can use dictionary up 64 GB. Default allowed limit for RAR unpacking is 4 GB.
• 7zg.exe (7-Zip GUI): -y switch disables user requests and messages.
• 7-Zip shows hash methods XXH64 and BLAKE2sp in context menu.
• -slmu switch : to show timestamps as UTC instead of LOCAL TIME.
• -slsl switch : in console 7-Zip for Windows : to show file paths with
  linux path separator slash '/' instead of backslash separator '\'.
• 7-Zip supports .sha256 files that use backslash path separator '\'.
• Some bugs were fixed.

• 7-Zip now can unpack ZSTD archives (.zst filename extension).
• 7-Zip now can unpack ZIP, SquashFS and RPM archives that use ZSTD compression method.
• 7-Zip now supports fast hash algorithm XXH64 that is used in ZSTD.
• 7-Zip now can unpack RAR archives (that use larger than 4 GB dictionary) created by new WinRAR 7.00.
• 7-Zip now can unpack DMG archives that use XZ (ULMO/LZMA) compression method.
• 7-zip now can unpack NTFS images with cluster size larger than 64 KB.
• 7-zip now can unpack MBR and GDP images with 4 KB sectors.
• Speed optimizations for archive unpacking: rar, cab, wim, zip, gz.
• 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.

thank you Igor Pavlov 👍

but seems the Spanish translation included in 24.05 is not the last one that I've updated here: https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/patches/434/#1dee/2abd

Question:

In to lzma2405.7z have 7zS2.sfx and 7zS2con.sfx but only this files have version 24.04 and build time 05.04.2024 11:00:00.

Upgrade or update needed?

Building on Windows for arm64 fails, it's trying to use clang-cl ...

Hi!

What about the virustotal detection for the x64 windows installer? https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/12ef1c8127ec3465520e4cfd23605b708d81a5a2cf37ba124f018e5c094de0d9
https://www.hybrid-analysis.com/sample/12ef1c8127ec3465520e4cfd23605b708d81a5a2cf37ba124f018e5c094de0d9/6644cd8a7e633eb3900b5dc9

Not the .msi one, though.

Could you don't make new GUID for the installation? I sometimes I see several installations in Windows install list. I have to go to registry to remove the old ones.

The problem is not only in visual effect but also in automatization (Winget for example).
