7‑Zip 16.00 (Packer)

Der freie Open-Source-Packer 7‑Zip von Pro­gram­mie­rer Igor Pav­lov ist in der fina­len Ver­si­on 16.00 erschie­nen. 7‑Zip ist – zumin­dest in der Win­dows-Welt – einer der am uni­ver­sells­ten ein­setz­ba­ren Archi­vie­rer über­haupt. Neben gän­gi­gen ZIP-Archi­ven kann er hoch­op­ti­mier­te For­ma­te wie RAR und RAR5 eben­so ver­ar­bei­ten wie For­ma­te aus der Ver­gan­gen­heit wie LZA, LHA oder ARJ – nur ACE kann er nicht handhaben.

Das eige­ne 7z-For­mat ist in der aktu­el­len Ver­si­on zudem eines der am bes­ten kom­pri­mie­ren­den For­ma­te über­haupt und je nach ein­ge­stell­tem Kom­pres­si­ons­ver­fah­ren sehr gut auf Mehr­kern-Pro­zes­so­ren opti­miert. GPG­PU-Opti­mie­run­gen feh­len jedoch.

In den User-News wur­de 7‑Zip in den letz­ten Jah­ren flei­ßig ver­linkt. Die letz­te offi­zi­el­le Final-Ver­si­on, die auf Pla­net 3DNow! erwähnt wur­de, geht jedoch auf die Ver­si­on 9.20 aus dem Jahr 2010 zurück, sodass das Chan­ge­log seit damals “etwas” umfang­rei­cher aus­fällt; wobei man ergän­zen soll­te, dass der Autor die Ver­sio­nen 10 bis 14 kom­plett über­sprun­gen hat.
