    • 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...".

      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.

              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?

                • 7-Zip Open Discussion: 7-Zip 24.05 (14)

                  Igor Pavlov- 6 days ago

                  Yes, it was my mistake.
                  I didn't recompile these two files for 24.05.
                  But actually there was no any change in code for these two files after version 24.04.

                    Yes, I wanted the code for fastest LZMA/LZMA2 decoder by default for arm64.
                    You can install clang-cl
                    or use
                    NO_ASM_GNU=1 in makefile.

                      Guess I just needed to modify my VS installation to include clang. Leaving the post up.

                          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).

                            Igor Pavlov- 5 days ago

                            How new GUID can help for that problem?

                              I mean, new GUID in msi-installer makes the problem.
