Changelog for
7zip-26.02-52.2.x86_64.rpm :
* Fri Jul 17 2026 munix9AATTgooglemail.com- Update to 26.02:
* Some bugs and vulnerabilities were fixed.
* CVE-2026-14266 / ZDI-26-444 : 7-Zip XZ Decompression Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
* Mon Jun 01 2026 munix9AATTgooglemail.com- Update to 26.01:
* linux version of 7-Zip can use huge pages (2 MB pages). It can increase compression speed for 10% for 7z/xz/LZMA/LZMA2 compression.
* new -spo[d|c|r] switch specifies the path generation mode for the output directory for archive extraction. The output directory path is generated from the path specified in the -o{dir_path} switch and the name of the archive being unpacked. - spod : for Linux/Posix/macOS: -o{dir_path} specifies the direct path to the output directory. The asterisk (
*) character in {dir_path} will not be replaced by the archive name. - spoc : 7-Zip will concatenate the path specified in -o{dir_path} with the archive name to form the final path to the output directory. - spor : 7-Zip will replace asterisk (
*) character in the path specified in the -o{dir_path} with the archive name. This is the default option.
* some bugs were fixed.

* Thu Dec 04 2025 Guillaume GARDET - Do not use asm code on aarch64 until PAC/BTI/GCS fixed upstream
* Thu Sep 04 2025 Andreas Stieger - Update to 25.01 (boo#1249130)
* The code for handling symbolic links has been changed to provide greater security when extracting files from archives
* Command line switch -snld20 can be used to bypass default security checks when creating symbolic links.- includes changes from 25.00:
* bzip2 compression speed was increased by 15-40%.
* deflate (zip/gz) compression speed was increased by 1-3%.
* improved support for zip, cpio and fat archives.
* CVE-2025-53816 : 7-Zip could work incorrectly for some incorrect RAR archives (boo#1246706)
* CVE-2025-53817 : 7-Zip could crash for some incorrect COM (Compound File) archives (boo#1246707)
* Sun Dec 01 2024 Antonio Teixeira - Update to 24.09:
* The default dictionary size values for LZMA/LZMA2 compression methods were increased
* 7-Zip now can calculate the following hash checksums: SHA-512, SHA-384, SHA3-256 and MD5.
* APM and HFS support was improved.
* If an archive update operation uses a temporary archive folder and the archive is moved to the destination folder, 7-Zip shows the progress of moving the archive file, as this operation can take a long time if the archive is large.
* The bug was fixed: 7-Zip File Manager didn\'t propagate Zone.Identifier stream for extracted files from nested archives (if there is open archive inside another open archive).
* Some bugs were fixed.
* Sun Aug 25 2024 Andreas Stieger - update to 24.08:
* No longer write extra zero bytes after the end of the archive, if a file included to archive cannot be compressed to a size smaller than original
* Some optimizations for displaying file icons in 7-Zip File Manager and in \"Confirm File Replace\" window.
* Some bugs were fixed
* Thu Jun 20 2024 Antonio Teixeira - Update to 24.07:
* The bug was fixed: 7-Zip could crash for some incorrect ZSTD archives.
* Thu Jun 06 2024 Antonio Teixeira - Update to 24.06:
* The bug was fixed: 7-Zip could not unpack some ZSTD archives.
* Sun May 26 2024 Andreas Stieger - update to 24.05:
* New switch -myv=.. to set decoder compatibility version for 7z archive creating
* New switches -myfa and -myfd to allow or disallow the specified filter method for 7z archive creating
* can use new RISCV filter for compression to 7z and xz archives
* can ask user permission to unpack RAR archives that require large amount of memory
* new switch -smemx{size}g : to set allowed memory usage limit for RAR archive unpacking.
* -y switch disables user requests and messages.
* -slmu switch : to show timestamps as UTC instead of LOCAL TIME
* support .sha256 files that use backslash path separator \'\\\'
* can unpack ZSTD archives (.zst filename extension).
* can unpack ZIP, SquashFS and RPM archives that use ZSTD compression method.
* support fast hash algorithm XXH64 that is used in ZSTD.
* can unpack RAR archives (that use larger than 4 GB dictionary) created by new WinRAR 7.00.
* can unpack DMG archives that use XZ (ULMO/LZMA) compression method
* can unpack NTFS images with cluster size larger than 64 KB.
* can unpack MBR and GDP images with 4 KB sectors.
* Speed optimizations for archive unpacking: rar, cab, wim, zip, gz.
* Speed optimizations for hash caclulation: CRC-32, CRC-64, BLAKE2sp.
* Fix multivolume creation in some cases
* bug fixs- drop fix-avx-sle.patch
* Wed Mar 06 2024 Dominique Leuenberger - Use autosetup -c instead of manually extracting the tarball and applying patches: allows us to eliminate the usage of deprecated %patchN.
* Tue Jan 23 2024 Danilo Spinella - Fix build on SLE-15-SP6
* fix-avx-sle.patch
* Tue Jan 02 2024 Martin Schreiner - Add missing man pages for 7z / 7za / 7zr / 7zz. This solves bsc#1204856.
* Tue Jul 18 2023 Linnaea Lavia - Enable ARM64 ASM introduced in 23.01
* Wed Jun 21 2023 Fabian Vogt - Update to version 23.01:
* 7-Zip now can use new ARM64 filter for compression to 7z and xz archives. ARM64 filter can increase compression ratio for data containing executable files compiled for ARM64 (AArch64) architecture.
* Default section size for BCJ2 filter was changed from 64 MiB to 240 MiB. It can increase compression ratio for executable files larger than 64 MiB.
* UDF: support was improved.
* cpio: support for hard links.
* Some changes and optimizations in WIM creation code.
* When new 7-Zip creates multivolume archive, 7-Zip keeps in open state only volumes that still can be changed. Previous versions kept all volumes in open state until the end of the archive creation.
* 7-Zip now can reduce the number of simultaneously open files, when 7-Zip opens, extracts or creates multivolume archive. It allows to avoid the failures for cases with big number of volumes, bacause there is a limitation for number of open files allowed for a single program in Linux.
* The bugs were fixed:
* ZIP archives: if multithreaded zip compression was performed with more than one file to stdout stream (-so switch), 7-zip didn\'t write \"data descriptor\" for some files.
* ext4 archives: 7-Zip couldn\'t correctly extract symbolic link to directory from ext4 archives.
* HFS and APFS archives: 7-Zip incorrectly decoded uncompressed blocks (64 KiB) in compressed forks.
* Some another bugs were fixed.- Refresh fix-compatib-with-p7zip.patch
