7-Zip has just received a brand new preview version today, so in case you're running it already, make sure that you get this fresh build as soon as possible.

7-Zip 9.34 Alpha is only designed for testing purposes, which means that it's not quite a build that's designed for casual users who don't know how to diagnose bugs or report issues to the developing team.

This fresh build has been released only a few minutes ago, so there are no details on what's new, but it's safe to assume that it's specifically designed to fix bugs and address any other glitches that might exist in the previous versions.

Keep in mind, however, that we're still talking about an alpha build, so it's in the very early development stages and a number of bugs might still exist and therefore affect the overall performance of the app on all Windows versions out there.

And speaking of Windows, 7-Zip works on all of them, including the old Windows XP which no longer receives updates and security patches from Microsoft.

Overall, this is clearly a very good chance to try out the next feature lineup of a future stable build, so download 7-Zip 9.34 Alpha right now to see what's new.
