What’s new after 7-Zip 18.03 beta:

• The speed for LZMA/LZMA2 compressing was increased:
  by 8% for fastest/fast compression levels and
  by 3% for normal/maximum compression levels.
• 7-Zip now shows Properties (Info) window and CRC/SHA results window as “list view” window instead of “message box” window.
• Some improvements in zip, hfs and dmg code.
• 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).
• Some bugs were fixed.
