What's new after 7-Zip 19.00: sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/discussion/45797/thread/2839b954b9/#d7ae 7-Zip now can unpack files encoded with Base64 encoding (b64 filename extension). 7-Zip now can use new x86/x64 hardware instructions for SHA-1 and SHA-256, supported by AMD Ryzen and latest Intel CPUs: Ice Lake and Goldmont. It increases the speed of SHA-1/SHA-256 hash value calculation, the speed of encryption/decryption in zip AES, the speed of key derivation for encryption/decryption in 7z/zip/rar archives. The speed of zip AES encryption and 7z/zip/rar AES decryption was increased with the following improvements: 7-Zip now can use new x86/x64 VAES (AVX Vector AES) instructions, supported by Intel Ice Lake CPU. The existing code of x86/x64 AES-NI was improved also. There is 2% speed optimization in 7-Zip benchmark's decompression. Some bugs were fixed.
The source code of new version and another additional packages will be released later after some testing period.
>still no recovery records >still no proper handling of split archives >7z extraction speeds are still horrible 7z is FOSS garbage shilled by people who never did any real work with archives. Even scene groups are smart enough to avoid this pile of shit called 7z

now add it to the UI and maybe it worth a shit for people whose time is worth money
