Download 7-Zip 17.00 Beta

Version 17.00 of 7-Zip has been released, a development version. This open source archiver can handle a wide range of compression formats, including zip, cab, rar, arj, lzh, chm, gzip, bzip2, z, tar, cpio, rpm, deb and of course the proprietary 7z. Furthermore, the software is able to open iso files and nsis installation packages. New in version 16 is that the program can now handle large multi-file zip files of type .z01, .z02 type. Previously it could handle .zip.001, .zip.002. In this version some other problems have been fixed.

What’s new after 7-Zip 16.04:

• ZIP unpacking code was improved.
• 7-Zip now reserves file space before writing to file (for extraction from archive).
  It can reduce file fragmentation.
• Some bugs were fixed. 7-Zip could crash in some cases.
• Internal changes in code.
