7-Zip is a file archiver with a high compression ratio.
The main features of 7-Zip
High compression ratio in 7z format with LZMA and LZMA2 compression
Supported formats:
Packing / unpacking: 7z, XZ, BZIP2, GZIP, TAR, ZIP and WIM
Unpacking only: APFS, AR, ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, CramFS, DMG, EXT, FAT, GPT, HFS, IHEX, ISO, LZH, LZMA, MBR, MSI, NSIS, NTFS, QCOW2, RAR, RPM, SquashFS, UDF, UEFI, VDI, VHD, VHDX, VMDK, XAR and Z.
For ZIP and GZIP formats, 7-Zip provides a compression ratio that is 2-10 % better than the ratio provided by PKZip and WinZip
Strong AES-256 encryption in 7z and ZIP formats
Self-extracting capability for 7z format
Integration with Windows Shell
Powerful File Manager
Powerful command line version
Plugin for FAR Manager
Localizations for 87 languages

minor bugfix:
The in 7-Zip 24.00-24.07 was :
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 was : 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 were.

minor feature:
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 were.

minor feature:
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.

minor bugfix:
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 were.

minor bugfix:
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 was Zip for Linux could fail for multivolume creation in some cases.
Some were.
