It took a long time to release next version. It's because I decided to write again file access part of application. I have unified the interface of accessing files and inclusion of other file systems like FTP should be easier. This also means that it works another way than before so it can contain some new bugs that was not in previous release.
There are also little optimizations, memory leak fixes and so on… One
significant improvement is that extracting of archives is now supported on the
background. But… it can crash very easy 
. I won't explain here why because it's about implementation of
file extracting process but please if you will have some difficulties with some
packer plugin make a bug report with at least description of the plugin (name
and version, link to download is usefull too). Another thing that can hapen when
extracting files is that the extracting process is shown incorrectly or not at
all. This is related to the previously mentioned „problem“ but
doesn't influence the extracting process at all. Data will be extracted
correctly, only process is shown incorrectly. You can again make a bug report
about this. This all is because I'm unable to test so many packer plugins if all
are working correctly. That's all for now… I hope it will work
for you at least so good as the previous version .
