new version:- Added dispack filter for executable files (also available in unarc/sfx/unarc.dll)
- Fixed bug in -mex2 mode (i.e. 4x4:tor) detected on "Oblivion - Sounds.bsa"
- -ioff/--shutdown option for powering off computer after completion of operation
- GUI: shutdown option in Add/Extract dialogs
- GUI: storing expanded status of options block inside Progress window
- GUI: disable unused buttons in Progress window after operation was finished
The most exciting thing is new dispack filter. These are results of compression of MS Office installation joined into single 810 mb file with various filters + lzma:max:
Code:
no filter: 323,430,022 bytes
bcj: 315,808,982
bcj2: 311,737,777
dispack: 311,536,260
I hope that compression will be increased in next versions by improving x86 code detection algorithm. Please note that dispack compression format will probably be chnaged too, so don't expect that archives made by this version can be extracted by future ones. nevertheless, dispack is ready for tests and making installers, making FreeArc executables compression comparable with 7zip one
