7-Zip, a popular open-source tool for compressing and extracting files, has released version 26.0. This update refreshes the internal code for several archive formats, such as ZIP, CPIO, RAR, UDF, QCOW, and Compound.

The 7-Zip File Manager has also been updated. Now, file lists are sorted more consistently by using the file name as a secondary sorting key, making it easier to view archive contents.

Benchmarking features have been improved, too. The built-in benchmark tool now works with systems that have more than 64 CPU threads, so it is more accurate and compatible with modern workstations and servers.

It’s amazing that there are still things left for the devs to do in 7-zip
