Software Update: PowerArchiver 2010 11.62

ConeXware has released the second update for PowerArchiver’s version 11.60, which was released in mid-October. This archiver can handle common archive types such as zip, 7z, cab, lha tar, gzip, bzip2, rar, arj, arc and ace. In addition, it can also read CD or DVD images, such as iso, bin, img and nrg. PowerArchiver is available in two different versions: a standard and a professional edition. The first contains everything we’ve come to expect from the old PowerArchiver; the other can also burn CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays, create ISO files and also mount them as a virtual drive. Finally, it can also be used as an ftp client. If all goes well, we will soon be able to release the first beta of version 11.70 to expect. Below you will find everything that has changed since version 11.61:

Here is what has been added to this release:

• Backup: You can now add 7-Zip AES file name encryption to the backup archives. Without proper password, nobody will be able to open these archives.
• Backup: 7-Zip spanning options have been added. In addition to previously available zip/zipx spanning, now you can also use 7-zip spanning in backup.
• 7-Zip SFX has been updated to the latest version posted on blogs in December.
• Optimizations: lowered the size of PowerArchiver’s main executable by 1 MB.
• Optimizations: reduced memory usage by 350 kb.
• Various minor improvements and fixes.
