TrueZIP 6.0 Release Candidate 1 is available
(March 13th, 2006)
This is a major update release with support for TAR, TAR.GZ and TAR.BZ2 archives.
TrueZIP 6.0 provides some exciting new features:
- A plug-in "driver" architecture for virtually any archive type. This allows third parties to provide support for arbitrary archive types, such as RAR or ARJ (volunteers wanted!).
- Out-of-the-box support for TAR, TAR.GZ and TAR.BZ2 archive using the new "plug-in driver" architecture. As usual with TrueZIP, this allows an application to address any entry in a TAR archive by specifying the archive as part of the path name, such as e.g. src.tar.gz/inner.zip/readme.html.
- ZIP64 is going to be added soon. However, it is still not decided yet whether this will be available with the official TrueZIP 6.0 release or deferred to the release of TrueZIP 6.1 instead. I prefer to have short release cycles, so it is likely that you may see this in TrueZIP 6.1.
