New Update 7-Zip 15.00 Alpha

[Petrovic]

Changes in 7-Zip 15.00 Alpha (2015-04-01):
* 7-Zip File Manager now can operate with alternate file streams at NTFS volumes via “File / Alternate Streams” menu command.
* 7-Zip now can extract .zipx (WinZip) archives that use xz compression.
* new optional “section size” parameter for BCJ2 filter for compression ratio improving. Example: -mf=BCJ2:d9M, if largest executable section in files is smaller than 9 MB.
* Speed optimizations for BCJ2 filter and SHA-1 and SHA-256 calculation.
* Console version now uses stderr stream for error messages.
* Console version now shows names of processed files only in progress line by default.
* new -bb[0-3] switch to set output log level. -bb1 shows names of processed files in log.
* new -bs[o|e|p][0|1|2] switch to set stream for output messages; o: output, e: error, p: progress line; 0: disable, 1: stdout, 2: stderr.
* new -bt switch to show execution time statistics.
* new -myx[0-9] switch to set level of file analysis.
* new -mmtf- switch to set single thread mode for filters.
* The BUG was fixed: 7-Zip didn’t restore NTFS permissions for folders during extracting from WIM archives.
* The BUG was fixed: The command line version: if the command “rn” (Rename) was called with more than one pair of paths, 7-Zip used only first rename pair.
* Some bugs were fixed.

They need to change it's ugly UI too in this new build.

I love the interface, it is simple and works, no frills. I hope they keep it that way. They just need a checkbox in the extraction window, below the path, to allow opening the recipient folder after extraction.

Well the classic iconic interface of 7-zip is pretty fine though, primarily just continuous of improving the extraction's concern is a superb cause a tiny tool that should never forget.
