TrueZIP 6.0 and 5.1.6 have been released
(April 5th, 2006)
The final version for TrueZIP 6.0 has been released. This is a major update with 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.
- Out-of-the-box support for TAR, TAR.GZ and TAR.BZ2 archives 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.
- Some minor bugs have been fixed, too. The majority of these bugs were found in the Swing components PromptingKeyManager (refactored from the former PasswdManager), JFileChooser and JFileTree.
In fact, this is a double release: For maintenance reasons, TrueZIP 5.1.6 is also available now. This version should contain all the bug fixes which were introduced with TrueZIP 6.0, too.
New applications should always use TrueZIP 6 for its enhanced architecture and performance. In case you used TrueZIP 5.X or a Release Candidate of TrueZIP 6, you need to recompile your client application.
