NanaZip 7.0 has been released, transitioning to a rolling release model that eliminates traditional versioning while syncing with 7-Zip mainline 26.03. This new version incorporates enhanced security measures, including updates to the BLAKE3 hash implementation to address supply-chain risks and several codec tweaks. The utility is available in two editions: a modern MSIX-based version for Windows integration and a portable classic variant still under development. Future plans include focusing on read-only support for various developer formats and a custom archive structure designed for corruption recovery, with the project emphasizing community-driven contributions

NanaZip 7.0 Version 2609.1 Shifts to Rolling Releases and Syncs to 7-Zip 26.03

NanaZip 7.0 launched today, marking a major shift as the popular Windows archive tool abandons traditional versioning for a rolling release model that shares a single codebase between stable and preview builds. The new build syncs the core engine to 7-Zip mainline 26.03 and updates its BLAKE3 hash implementation to 1.8.7 to patch supply-chain security risks tied to a compromised crates.io maintainer. Built with a C++ core and modern C#/XAML Islands UI, the utility now ships in two distinct flavors: an MSIX-based Modern edition with full Windows integration, and a portable Classic variant still in development for headless environments. Maintainer Kenji Mouri aims for roughly one major stable release per year, focusing the project's long-term research on read-only support for developer formats and a custom K7FS archive structure designed for corruption recovery.
