Version 1.7:

• New 512×512 icons courtesy of 推子(sp4navy), www.macfans.com.cn. The old set, which had been created by Iiro Jäppinen, may be made available as an alternative download in the near future.
• Compression and decompression are now up to 30% faster, especially on 64-bit PowerPC and Intel Core computers.
• Compression core updated to version 4.57 beta; any other components used by 7zX have been also updated to the latest release available.
• Several sections, such as the decompression routines, have been rewritten from scratch and should now have better performance.
• Handling of non-7z archives has been improved.
• Added preliminary support for localizations.
• Self-Extracting archives also include any improvements studied for the 7zX application.
• The Automator workflow included in the disk image should now be compatible with Mac OS X 10.5.
