New in BitZipper 2009 (Jun 19, 2009)
- New features:
- BitZipper 2009 adds extraction support for a lot of new file formats: 7z, cpio, rpm, deb, 001, chm, chw, hxs, iso, msi, doc, xls, ppt, wim, swm, dmg, xar, hfs, lzma and NSIS exe files. This brings the number of supported file types up to 44!
- Unattended installation has been improved, making it easier to deploy BitZipper on multiple PCs. The installer no longer launches BitZipper after a successful installation if the command line option /silent or /verysilent is used.
- BitZipper may now be installed by non-administrator user accounts.
- Minor changes and fixes:
- Now remembers column sizes in file browser in Open, New, Add Files and Batch screens.
- Delete from archive could wrongly try to store the temporary file in e.g. C: which the user might not have write access to. When asked for a new location, it didn't use the selected folder properly. Now uses the correct temporary folder and handles a manually selected folder properly.
- After a new install or after restoring the default preferences the Extract form would not remember its position until after closing BitZipper once.
- Now refreshes file list on Batch Tool when files are added or deleted from the displayed folder.
- When showing the Extract window, the selected folder is now displayed in the input field. It wasn't before, until you clicked on a folder in the folder tree.
- Right-clicking on a file when no files were selected, did not select the file for viewing, extracting etc.
New in BitZipper 5.0.1 (May 21, 2007)
- BitZipper now correctly extracts old .Z archives created on HP-UX 10 years ago (exact compress utility version unknown). A rarely occuring problem caused the end of the extracted file to be cut off.
- BitZipper now supports ZIP-files with more than 65536 files in them
- A crash reporting window was displayed if an installer in an archive failed to run after clicking the Install button on the toolbar.
- A crash reporting window was displayed if an empty file search filter was applied on the file list, or if a filter other than * or *.* was applied on an archive containing empty file names (e.g. some JAR archives).
- Enabling or disabling shell integration on the Preferences window had no effect unless you also changed file associations.
New in BitZipper 5.0 (Feb 27, 2007)
- The new BitZipper 5.0 introduces support for BZIP2 compression, which offers compression ratios much better than standard ZIP compression. BZIP2 is supported as stand-alone BZ2 and TBZ files and as a WinZip compatible extension to the existing ZIP file format.
- The second major feature introduced is unicode support, which enables BitZipper to compress and extract files with e.g. various asian and eastern languages.
- BitZipper 5.0 is Windows Vista compatible.
- Improved dual-screen support.
- A small security vulnerability in the third-party library used when extracting ACE archives has been corrected by upgrading the library.
- In the Preferences you can now enable display of compression method, CRC checksum and encryption status in the archive file list.
- RAR support has been improved and a problem extracting files from certain password protected RAR files have been corrected.
- A problem extracting files from certain password protected .BH archives has been corrected.
- TAR support improved by adding support for TAR filenames greater than the header limitation of 100 chars.
