NanaZip 5.0 Preview 0 (5.0.1188.0) Pre-release
Pre-release

I'm excited to announce that we've released the NanaZip 5.0 Preview 0 which is now available for download. This update contains several fixes and improvements.

Important Note: NanaZip 5.0 Preview 0 contains the CVE-2024-11477 fix which was released in NanaZip 3.1.

Originally I want to delay the next preview version of NanaZip for synchronizing the 7-Zip 24.09 source code. But Rafael Rivera told me that security should be higher priority than features. So, I decided to release this version. So, 7-Zip 24.09 synchronization needs another 5.0 Preview 0 release.

Release Notes

  • This release includes all the improvements from NanaZip 3.1 (3.1.1080.0) (https://github.com/M2Team/NanaZip/releases/tag/3.1.1080.0).
  • Update Brazilian Portuguese translation. (Contributed by maisondasilva.)
  • Make sure NanaZip Core (except the Self Extracting Executables) and NanaZip Classic using ucrtbase.dll with 10.0.19041.0 version or later.
  • Update Mile.Windows.Helpers to 1.0.671. (https://github.com/ProjectMile/Mile.Windows.Helpers/tree/1.0.671.0)
  • Move NanaZip console version to NanaZip.Core project. (Not used in NanaZip MSIX package because we need to release the next preview to contain the CVE-2024-11477 fix in NanaZip 3.1.)
  • Remove C++/WinRT dependency for NanaZip.Codecs and NanaZip.Frieren.
  • Add GetDpiForWindowWrapper for NanaZip.Frieren.DarkMode to fix the legacy Windows compatibility issues.
  • Remove VC-LTL dependency for the Self Extracting Executables related projects.
  • Adjust the compilation configurations to optimize the binary size for the Self Extracting Executables.
  • Use Mile.Windows.UniCrt (https://github.com/ProjectMile/Mile.Windows.UniCrt) instead of VC-LTL.
  • Update NanaZip.Specification.SevenZip header file.
  • Start to simplify the NanaZip specific decoders and encoders implementation.
  • Synchronize the BLAKE3 implementation to 1.5.5. (https://github.com/BLAKE3-team/BLAKE3/releases/tag/1.5.5)
  • Synchronize the RHash implementation to the latest master branch which is after v1.4.5. (rhash/RHash@cf2adf2)
  • Enable disabling child process creation for NanaZip Self Extracting Executables. (Except installer mode of Self Extracting Executables, which compiled binaries is not provided in the NanaZip MSIX package.)

I'm excited to announce that we've released the NanaZip 3.1 which is now available for download. This update contains several fixes and improvements. Also, it introduces some maintainer tools, meaning every contributor can finally maintain this project independently.

Note: The preview version of NanaZip will be delayed because I want to add more features for previewing.

NanaZip 3.0 (3.0.996.0)

I'm excited to announce that we've released the NanaZip 3.0 which is now available for download. I think users will love the changes from this version. Here are some screenshots for the NanaZip 3.0 main window.

Light Mode

Dark Mode

I don't want to say anything for this release except the following notices because the screenshots can mention a lot.

NanaZip will be not only a simple 7-Zip fork anymore, the relationship between NanaZip and 7-Zip is more like Chromium and WebKit because I think most of the changes I will do for NanaZip have no chance of being accepted by Igor Pavlov. But NanaZip will still keep the Core Library and Self Extracting Executables implementation synchronized to the latest 7-Zip mainline implementation. This is why I rewrote and split the implementation of the Core Library and the Self Extracting Executable to the separate NanaZip.Core project. The other parts will be modernized as soon as possible. Also, I think I will try to make the modernized 7-Zip Plugin SDK with 100% C++/WinRT style in the future because Igor Pavlov changes a lot in every release, and we need a more simplified way to develop plugins for 7-Zip and NanaZip.

NanaZip has introduced the Preinstall Support. Read #398 for more information.

NanaZip provides a $99.99 Sponsor Edition addon to the Microsoft Store to attract more sponsors and contributors. It's free for NanaZip source code repository contributors and NanaZip sponsors who sponsored before March 30, 2024. The only difference for NanaZip Sponsor Edition is showing "❤️ Appreciate your sponsorship ❤️" button instead of "☕ Sponsor NanaZip ☕" button in the NanaZip's toolbar like the Visual Studio administrator mode. I hope every NanaZip user is happier than before. Here are some imaginative examples. Read https://github.com/M2Team/NanaZip/blob/main/Documents/SponsorEdition.md for more information.

NanaZip 3.0 and onwards will have two distribution flavors called NanaZip and NanaZip Classic. So, the 32-bit x86 support for the NanaZip packaged version is removed because supported 32-bit x86 Windows versions don't support running on 32-bit only x86 processors. But NanaZip 3.0 does not have the Classic flavor yet because it's not ready. Although we only chose Windows as the major platform for the NanaZip project supported because Windows has maintained a good and proven ABI and compatibility, and stands out in the whole history. But we also care about the non-Windows platform. Read https://github.com/M2Team/NanaZip#differences-between-nanazip-and-nanazip-classic and https://github.com/M2Team/NanaZip#system-requirements for more information.

Finally, I want to say sorry to people who want to change the icons and toolbar in the NanaZip main window. Recently, the NanaZip main window's menu bar and toolbar have been replaced by the new XAML-based toolbar, and it uses font icons from Segoe MDL2 Assets.

Release Notes

  • Notes
  • Features
    • Introducing dark mode support for all GUI components.
    • Introducing the Mica support. You will enjoy the full window immersive Mica support for all GUI components if you are using dark mode with HDR disabled. (Thanks to Andarwinux.)
    • Synchronize the 7-Zip mainline implementations to 24.05. (https://github.com/ip7z/7zip/releases/tag/24.05) (Thanks to Igor Pavlov. Noticed by AVMLOVER-4885955 and PopuriAO29.)
      • Make NanaZip Self Extracting Executable stubs use 7-Zip mainline Zstandard decoder instead of Zstandard official's for reducing the size for binaries.
      • Use 7-Zip mainline Zstandard decoder instead of Zstandard official decoder for NanaZip.Core project.
      • Remove 7-Zip mainline XXH64 Hash handler for NanaZip.Core because we have the xxHash-based implementation in NanaZip.Codecs. It will have much better performance, especially for non-x86 targets.
    • Implement the new toolbar and use it to replace the old menubar and old toolbar.
    • Refresh the UI layout for About Dialog via following other Nana series project design.
    • Add the SM3 HASH algorithm from GmSSL. (https://github.com/guanzhi/GmSSL)
  • Improvements
  • Fixes
    • Fix issue in IEnumExplorerCommand::Next for shell extension. (Thanks to cnbluefire.)
  • Other adjustments for project development.

NanaZip 3.0 Preview 0 (3.0.756.0) Pre-release
Pre-release

I'm excited to announce that we've released the NanaZip 3.0 Preview 0 and is now available for download.

Due to the author of 7-Zip, Igor Pavlov has made lots of changes between 7-Zip 22.01 and 7-Zip 23.01, he changed 950+ in 1250+ source code files. I found I met the "Longhorn Build 4093" moment in the NanaZip project and start to do something similar to "Longhorn Reset" in NanaZip. I called it "Longhorn Reset" because I rewrote the Core Library and Self Extracting Executables implementation started from the scratch 7-Zip 23.01 mainline implementation. This work has been done successfully.

NanaZip.Core_VistaRTM

Here is a screenshot for proving NanaZip.Core, which is the Core Library and the Self Extracting Executables implementation will be used in the next preview of NanaZip, running properly under Windows Vista RTM (Build 6000.16386).

NanaZip 3.0 Preview 1 will be scheduled at December 2023 with lots of UI changes because the "Longhorn Reset" of NanaZip has cleared lots of resistance for rewriting the new lightweight XAML-based UI.

Here is more information about the "Longhorn Reset" of NanaZip: #336

I am sorry I use nearly a year to make an update because I found NanaZip is used by many users and I need to be careful to make changes. I have done lots of evolutions for the lightweight XAML Islands toolchain with the Windows 11 controls styles called Mile.Xaml which is base of NanaZip's XAML-based UI because I think get the balance between lightweight and modernization of the art is really important.

Manchester City has won the treble, Pep Guardiola has proved himself again. I was heartened by that news and this is why the codename for NanaZip 3.x Series is Blue Moon. Also, blue has been my favorite color since I was young.

I think it's time for me to start the new history of NanaZip. I will announce that NanaZip is not only a simply 7-Zip fork anymore, the relationship between NanaZip and 7-Zip is more like Chromium and WebKit because I think most of changes I will do for NanaZip which has no chance to be accepted by Igor Pavlov.

But NanaZip will still keep the Core Library and Self Extracting Executables implementation synchronized to the latest 7-Zip mainline implementation. This is why I rewrite and split the implementation of the Core Library and the Self Extracting Executable to the separate NanaZip.Core project. The other parts will be modernized as soon as possible.

NanaZip 2.0 Update 1 (2.0.450.0)

We are excited to announce that we've released the NanaZip 2.0 Update 1 and is now available for download.

Because the XAML Islands based UI stack used in Nana Series projects called Mile.Xaml has released 1.1 version with the Windows 11 XAML control styles and the immersive Mica effects support, the about dialog has been refreshed with these features.

There are also some screenshots of the Mile.Xaml demo and show the how lightweight it is.

image

@AndromedaMelody has done a lot for Mile.Xaml and suggested me to release a stable version with the Mile.Xaml's new features.

@Shomnipotence also suggested me to release a stable version because he has updated the tweaked application and file icon design and assets.

@dinhngtu have committed a fix for resolving the compatibility issues with Explorer Patcher and I think he also hopes to see the fix in the stable version.

So, this is why I have released the NanaZip 2.0 Update 1.

Because the XAML Islands based UI stack will be used in NanaZip is just released in the recent day. You won't see some features planned in 2.0 and need to wait for 2.1 Preview 1 because I need some time to implement:

  • The first run notice window of Mark-of-the-Web which appeared in extracting archives. (So, the 2.0 won't enable MOTW by default.)
  • The new hash algorithm selection window. (Because there are many hash algorithms added to NanaZip 2.0, it's necessary to have a selection window.)
  • The XAML-based toolbar in the main window.

I also want to add a version release rule: The Preview 0 of the next version is as same as the stable of the current version except the version information for releasing both channels better. (For example, 2.1 Stable as same as 2.2 Preview 0 except the version information.)

Release Notes

  • Optimize NanaZip binaries via adjusting the WindowsTargetPlatformMinVersion to 10.0.19041.0 in all packaged NanaZip binaries projects except the Self Extracting Executable stubs projects.
  • Opt out of dynamic code mitigation on main NanaZip thread for resolving the compatibility issues with Explorer Patcher. (Contributed by dinhngtu.)
  • Update Mile.Xaml to 1.1.434. (https://github.com/ProjectMile/Mile.Xaml/releases/tag/1.1.434.0)
  • Update Mile.Windows.Helpers to 1.0.8. (https://github.com/ProjectMile/Mile.Windows.Helpers/commits/main)
  • Add dark mode support for context menus.
  • Refresh the about dialog with Windows 11 XAML control styles and the immersive Mica effects.
  • Fix model dialog style behavior for About dialog.
  • Continue to refresh application and file type icons. (Designed by Shomnipotence.)

Important Note: The preview channel of NanaZip (The NanaZip Preview app in the Microsoft Store) won't get the new preview update in the recent days or you can understand that it's delayed because I (or Kenji Mouri) want to add some planned features.

We are excited to announce that we've released the NanaZip 2.0 and is now available for download. It's the first NanaZip release which updates the minimum system requirement to Windows 10 Version 2004 (Build 19041) or later for solving issues in the XAML Islands.

First, Microsoft sent an awesome banner to celebrate NanaZip winning the Microsoft Store App Awards. As one of the M2-Team founders, I think it's a memorable moment since we founded the team in 2015. So, we use the related assets to update the image assets in the Microsoft Store page with introducing the XAML Islands based about dialog for NanaZip.

The icon of NanaZip has finally changed. The new icon is designed by @Shomnipotence. Also, the icons will continue to adjust in NanaZip 2.1.

Because the XAML Islands based UI stack will be used in NanaZip is just released the first stable release in the recent day and need do more polishing. You won't see some features planned in 2.0 and need to wait for 2.1 Preview 1:

  • The first run notice window of Mark-of-the-Web which appeared in extracting archives. (So, the 2.0 won't enable MOTW by default.)
  • The new hash algorithm selection window. (Because there are many hash algorithms added to NanaZip 2.0, it's necessary to have a selection window.)
  • The XAML-based toolbar in the main window.

Also, @AndromedaMelody is continuing to help me make lightweight XAML Islands based toolchain with Windows 11 style controls. NanaZip will use them starting from 2.1 development stage and people will see changes in Late 2022.

Known issues

  • If you can't find NanaZip in the context menu, please restart all File Explorer processes via Task Manager.
  • Due to the issues in Desktop Bridge file system virtualization, you are unable to use NanaZip in the Safe Mode of Windows.
  • Due to the policy from Microsoft Store, NanaZip is unable to disable Desktop Bridge file system virtualization, so the file operations in %UserProfile%/AppData will be redirected in Windows 10, and file operations in directories other than Local, LocalLow and Roaming in %UserProfile%/AppData will still be redirected in Windows 11.
  • Due to the Microsoft Store limitations, NanaZip 1.2 and later won't support languages not mentioned in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/publish/supported-languages.

Afterword

@AndromedaMelody is the new member of the development team. He contributed a lot to NanaZip and related infrastructures. Without him, I cannot finish the roadmap of NanaZip 1.x Series on time and delay at least half a year.
