Update: 7-Zip 4.63

The last day of 2008 brought, aside new year’s resolutions, a new version of 7-Zip: 4.63.

The only update worth mentioning is the support for unpacking ZIP archives encrypted with the AES algo (PKWARE-AES, implemented in PKWARE’s PKZIP and SecureZIP products).

AES is a very fast encryption algorithm standardized in 2002. It can be used with 128,192 and 256-bit encryption keys. All of these are available in PKWARE-AES.
